===2010s=== [[File:Robot_sitting_on_final_BBC1_mechanical_ident,_October_2012.jpeg|thumb|right|An image of '[[Digital UK|Digit Al]]' sitting on the last BBC1 mechanical ident, taken from the last analogue BBC One Northern Ireland transmission on 23 October 2012 at 23:31 GMT]] As part of the Delivering Quality First proposals submitted by the BBC in October 2011 and approved by the [[BBC Trust]] in May 2012, all children's programming on BBC One and Two would be moved permanently to the CBBC and CBeebies channels following the digital switchover.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18083178 |title=Children's shows to leave BBC One |publisher=BBC |date=16 May 2012 |access-date=1 February 2014}}</ref> It was found that the majority of child viewers watched the programmes on these channels already and that only 7% of these children watched CBBC programmes on BBC One and Two only, it was made clear "Children's programmes are absolutely fundamental to the BBC and that is why we have protected investment in them in the light of cuts elsewhere."<ref name="DQF conclusions">{{cite web|title=Delivering Quality First Final Conclusions|url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/dqf/final_conclusions.pdf|publisher=BBC Trust|access-date=18 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120517103153/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/dqf/final_conclusions.pdf|archive-date=17 May 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> Children's programming on BBC One ended on 21 December 2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=Children's programming comes to an end on BBC One|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20809627|publisher=BBC News (BBC)|date=21 December 2012|access-date=21 December 2012}}</ref> The move was criticised by ''Teletubbies'' co-creator [[Anne Wood]], who described the changes as "ghettoising children's programmes" and believe it was merely a cost-cutting measure. Wood said "On the one hand it is inevitable. But it is dismissive of children. There is a certain amount of overlooking of the fact that children's programmes do get a wider audience than people are aware of ... I have frequently had letters from older people who have enjoyed my programmes as much as children do. A lot of the reason older people like to watch children's programming is because it is life-enhancing." Head of BBC Children's, Joe Godwin said: "Our young viewers are our priority and the vast majority of children in the UK already tune in to CBeebies and CBBC to find their favourite BBC children's programmes. Far from being a 'cynical' move, we're just following where our audience has already gone."<ref>{{cite web|author=Press Association |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/jan/08/teletubbies-creator-bbc-ghettoising-childrens-tv |title=Teletubbies co-creator says BBC move to digital is 'ghettoising' children's TV|newspaper=The Guardian |date=8 January 2013 |access-date=1 February 2014}}</ref> As part of the review in 2012 other changes were brought in, including: * BBC One is reducing the minimum hours of arts and music from 45 to 40, achieved through cutting episodes of shows, in particular [[Film 2013]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Sweney|first=Mark|title=Blue Peter and other children's shows to be ditched from BBC1|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/may/16/blue-peter-childrens-shows-bbc1|newspaper=The Guardian|date=16 May 2012}}</ref> * BBC One and Two will "largely be protected from making significant cuts". * Repeats on BBC One will increase, but remain under 10% of all output (the current rate is 8.4%<ref>{{Cite news|date=16 May 2012|title=Children's shows to leave BBC One|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-18083178|access-date=19 January 2022}}</ref>). * Expenditure on sports rights will be cut by 15%. This had largely been achieved already by sharing rights to Formula 1 coverage from 2012 (it was later dropped entirely from 2016).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18083178 |title=BBC News β Children's shows to leave BBC One |publisher=BBC |date=16 May 2012 |access-date=1 February 2014}}</ref> In 2012, the BBC out-bid ITV for the rights to air a ''[[The Voice UK|British]]'' version of Dutch TV talent show ''[[The Voice (franchise)|The Voice]]''. The BBC paid Β£22 million for the rights to broadcast the show in the UK for two years. ''The Voice UK'' achieved good ratings for the BBC but ratings dropped towards the end of the first series and the second series. In 2013, ''The Voice UK'' was rescheduled to avoid a clash, and as a result, ratings have improved. In November 2015, it was announced that ''The Voice UK'' would be moving to ITV from 2017, especially because of the [[ITV plc]] ownership of franchise owner, [[Talpa Network#Former assets|Talpa Media]].
