June 30, 201510 yr The BBC Trust has provisionally approved the closure of BBC Three. BBC One and Two have to include more programmes that cater to 16-34 year olds. The plans for a BBC One +1 have been rejected as it would damage commercial rivals, mainly ITV and Channel 5. It has approved extending CBBC by two hours so that it broadcasts until 9:00pm. I found this statistic very interesting though :o BBC Three is currently watched by 11.2 million people every week and reaches 25% of 16-24 year olds. However it is also currently the only BBC channel watched by 925,000 people in that age group - 80% of which are expected to be lost to the BBC with the closure.
June 30, 201510 yr This is a stupid thing to say for purely selfish and trivial reasons, but with that loss and the loss of the Olympics, I want the BBC to fall further. Only because someone I know who I passionately and really (really really repeat ad infinitum) hate's dad works there :)
January 4, 20169 yr The new logo for when it relaunches online in March: http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/16/01/320x320/gallery-1451906780-tv-bbc3-logo.png :mellow:
January 4, 20169 yr So they ignored the petition and young people and went ahead with this shoddy closure anyway. No one will watch it online! And they also lost BBC1+1 which was the whole reason for doing it lol. Well done!
January 4, 20169 yr Looks like BBC II! which suggests to me its BBC2 even though it isnt lol :lol: http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/21BD/production/_87473680_bbcthreetweet.gif B-) B-)
February 15, 20169 yr Today is the final day of BBC3 as a TV channel :( End of an era! The schedule tonight is a great last hurrah for the channel: 7pm Top Gear 8pm Don't Tell The Bride 9pm Gavin and Stacey 9:30pm Little Britain 10pm Eastenders 10:30pm Bad Education 11pm Family Guy 11:30pm American Dad 12:30am The Mighty Boosh 1am Some Girls 1:30am Cuckoo 2am Josh 2:30am Uncle 3am Siblings 3:30am Gavin and Stacey Basically most shows that characterised BBC3 over its run as a TV channel. I'm interested to see what happens when it goes online. Will it be a Netflix type service or basically the same as before with BBC3 shows on iplayer as normal?
February 15, 20169 yr Missing Him and Her and a Family Guy American Dad bonaza. Can't believe they closed this beaut of a channel!!
February 15, 20169 yr If they've got room for 2 of that vile shite Gavin and Stacey then they have room for 2 Pints :angry:
February 15, 20169 yr Nice to see that even on its last day on terrestrial television, BBC is continuing its proud tradition of showing The Mighty Boosh at an unsociable, ungodly hour.
February 16, 20169 yr I like the fact that it's like Netflix. For example, the new episode Cuckoo is on there right now, not being broadcast at a certain time. You don't watch the channel live, it's just got everything on it, presumably uploaded at midnight once a week? I presume more is to come, there's not much on there now that's new.
