I believe it's simpler than that -- consistency of branding.
I think they're just enforcing these apparent naming conventions:

  BBC Radio n -> radio station (whatever 'radio' means these days)
  BBC n       -> TV channel (even where 'n' is spelled out)

Until recently, naming for n>4 has been inconsistent, and there
are bound to be people who don't know that BBC Four isn't Radio 4,
and BBC 7 isn't a TV channel at all; those people are perhaps now
living in a media universe that is epsilon less confusing.
