BBC 3 moving online from February

[thms]

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this!

I lost faith in BBC3 when they cancelled In The Flesh (@welshcake; @Zealoux; @thms; ) because apparently they wanted to invest their funding in newer, better (???) shows and then came out with that crap like the faux-documentary I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse thing idk if you know what I'm talking about.

I used to love all the drama and comedy (I love ANY kind of comedy tbh though) because it's the only BBC channel that actually aims to appeal to my age range. Sure, other BBC channels have individual shows that might be aimed at me but I know that I'll start going over to Channel 4/E4/whatever4 once BBC 3 is gone because I do not enjoy watching TV online and, like you, will not start just because BBC3 has gone online.

dunno why ur tagging me i never got into it :/

I don't use it much anyway, but it's alright as one of those channels you turn to when you're bored and nothing else is on.

Not really surprised. They're pretty desperate for money right now considering the frozen licence fee for around 5 years now I believe and the government wanting the BBC to cover over-75s free licences, which is £650 according to the BBC. I suspect if they can get a significant licence fee increase and keep enough subscriptions, then we may see BBC3 come back at some point. The BBC is pretty starved of funds (like pretty much everything else nowadays), but it's still pretty decent content for £145.50 a year. In before the "I don't watch the BBC" crowd, but there's more to the BBC than TV and I hope nobody looks at the BBC negatively because of these changes.

Anyway as far as BBC3 is concerned, I'm not fussed in the move from TV to online, but I will miss all the good shows they put out and I hope they continue to do so, and not use the scraps of what is left on those shitty shows like "Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents" and that one that essentially rewards a bunch of teenagers for being bratty and spoiled. Getting rid of Family Guy and American Dad was a good move. Not because they're bad, but because they were always many series behind and would repeat the same episodes 100 times a week.
