BBC Four shows to air on BBC Two

Several shows from BBC Four are to get further airings on BBC Two, according to a report in this week's Broadcast.
The announcement follows criticism that not many have access to the new channel, which launched last month. In a double-barreled move, it is also expected that the mainstream exposure would raise BBC Four's profile, which is currently attracting an average audience of under 20,000.
"We are looking at how we could take the best things from BBC Four and play them on BBC Two and can we make the space to do it," said Director-General Greg Dyke.
