To cater for the yoof market BBC 3 is going online only. However this is on the proviso that all ex-BBC 3 programmes are aired at least once on the 'mature' channels BBC 1 / 2 / 4.
This latter is to the disgust of older than average licence fee payers - there's too much 'yoof' stuff on ITV as it is - now the Beeb is following the trend. Huh - just how many times do you want to watch "Don't Tell The Bride'? But that's moving to Sky 1 later this year. Anyway I've just done a GiP cache refresh for Radio and TV and the former was as long as usual, the latter quite short. BTW I wonder if the recent outages were caused by the Beeb engineers removing BBC 3 content from the iPlayer servers? The moot point being whether BBC 3 online content will be available via iPlayer and get_iplayer? Family Guy is moving to BBC 2 AND ITV 2!!! Yet American Dad seems to be left out.
