BBC 3 changes due

BBC 3 changes due

BBC Three is to be dropped from TV schedules and will move online, as part of the BBC's cost-cutting plans.

It means shows such as Don't Tell The Bride and Pramface will only be available through the iPlayer, rather than Freeview, satellite or cable.

The BBC will make an official announcement on Thursday, media correspondent David Sillito said.

Celebrities are already rallying behind the service. Matt Lucas said the move would be "really bad for new comedy".

"If they want to save money, there will certainly be less programming coming from the BBC Three brand," our media correspondent said.

"Increasingly, it's thought the youth audience are switching to accessing content online. They're watching in their bedrooms and watching on tablet devices.

However, he added, the move to iPlayer would make sense for the station's target audience of 16-34 year-olds.

Perhaps at the time they change this at the same time the long awaited BBC 1+1 (promised) will appear on Satellite / Freeview?
