The BBC has stated its intention to discontinue traditional broadcasting of CBBC and BBC Four.
Tim Davie, director general, indicated that the material of these networks will continue to be created and made available on web platforms.
This would mean that they would only be accessible via BBC iPlayer, with Radio 4 Extra migrating to BBC Sounds, as opposed to their regular broadcast channels.
The company now operates two distinct news networks for audiences in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.
He noted that the two news channels of the firm will be combined into one.

The adjustments announced on Thursday would result in annual budget reduction of £200 million and a reorganization of services that prioritize digital platforms.
However, CBBC, BBC Four, and Radio 4 Extra will remain on linear television and radio for at least three years.
Davie also announced adjustments to local radio and regional news, including the consolidation of TV news programs in Oxford and Cambridge with BBC operations in Southampton and Norwich.
The second season of the regional BBC One program We Are England will conclude later this year.
In January, it was announced that the licence fee would remain at £159 per year for two years before rising in line with inflation.
In the next several years, the plans could result in the loss of up to a thousand jobs in the publicly-funded portion of the firm.
In a statement, he stated that the BBC must "adapt more quickly and accept the massive market movements around us."
"Now is the time to construct a digital-first BBC," he remarked. "Something truly fresh, a Reithian organization for the internet era, a force for good in the United Kingdom and the world."
The director-general informed staff that a disproportionate amount of BBC resources are now devoted to broadcast output rather than online, adding, "We are moving forcefully toward a predominantly on-demand environment."
The newly consolidated news channel will result in a single, 24-hour broadcast known simply as BBC News, which will serve UK and foreign audiences and provide a larger amount of shared material.
Meanwhile, the official representative for Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated on Friday that the prime minister is genuinely of the opinion that the BBC is a world-class broadcaster that, like other broadcasters, must adapt to a quickly changing environment.
