BBC3, BBC4 or BBC News 24?

http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,,2162864,00.html

"BBC Vision executives have hit back at calls for BBC3 or BBC4 to be axed, saying those within the corporation who are publicly suggesting the move are abusing their position. In a sign of the mounting tension within the BBC over proposed budget cuts following the lower than expected licence fee settlement, BBC Vision executives have said that if a digital channel is to be axed it should be BBC News 24."

Looks like a game of find the lady or something. So which channel do you think deserves to stay? Which ones do you actually watch? Are the answers to those two questions the same?

I watch BBC 3 the most, then 4 (generally for something specific), then sometimes news 24 - but I mostly get my news from the website unless it's something big and I want up-to-the-minute updates.

I think they're all worthwhile and very different. BBC 4's had some great stuff on, BBC 3's good for entertainment and repeats - not everyone has TiVo... and the news is useful. I guess they could redefine the parameters of BBC 3 and put the new BBC 4 shows on there instead of the repeats - but losing the news is the one which would have the least impact on me.
