Looks likely now doesn't it?
Not a fan of BBC Three anyway and those of you who like American Dad and Family Guy grab yourself the boxsets from Amazon or HMV or watch them on Netflix/Lovefilm ;-)
BBC Four's content will be ok on BBC Two so im fine with that when they decide to close it.

Its long overdue really as we move into the internet TV age the TV Licence Fee becomes unenforceable and will have to be scrapped.
The BBC know it that their days are numbered , they need a new way to fund themselves , I propose it to become subscription and at a reduced number of channels too!
BBC News , Parliament should also get the chop as should Asian Network and 1Xtra & 2 Extra.
The only Radio stations they need are BBC Radio's , 1 ,2 ,3 4 and 5Live and 6Music nothing else. Regional Radio should be community funded through local poll tax.
Pathetic isn't it!
Without Family Guy and Eastenders re-runs, the programming only goes from 7-10.30 most weeknights. And weekends is McFarlane stuff from 10pm preceded by old movies and Dr who repeats.
If they have lost McFarlane's output, they have to find a whole load of stuff to show after 11 each night
As long as they promote the new BBC3 stuff enough it will still have an audience.
At least we will still have BBC News 24, Parliament, Cbeebies and CBBC.:D
Viva would be good.
Or that! ;-)
Its the Radio 3 of television, people throw up their hands in horror at the thought of axing it but who actually listens to it?
Number 1 - it is not the radio three of telly. When was the last time you read the radio 3 schedule and saw Snog, Marry,Avoid on it?
Number 2 - I listen to Radio 3 in the mornings, and I would describe myself as a bit common you know. I scratch my foreskin first thing, whether it is itchy or not.
On Radio 3 you have pleasant but challenging classical / jazz music from 6.00 to 12.00. No advertisements, no Jingles and no competitions like, "What is the capital of Paris?". Answer "P"...
Number 3 - I wake up in the morning with Radio 3 on my alarm phone. The first thing I do obviously when I wake up in the mornings is to throw my hands up in horror.....not because Radio 3 is on, but because I have another day of work to face up to.........
Off to bed now. Nighty night.
BBC One
BBC Two
BBC Four
Missing three, is just silly. Makes it look like the beeb can't count!
One would imagine BBC4 will get a new name.
BBC Four was actually launched when BBC3 was still BBC Choice I'm sure.
Oh dear.
Dream on.
They say they are still producing content for BBC Three but it just goes online, so no money saved there.
Where is it being saved?
BBC three online budget will be cut drastically
BBC one +1 would have had to have additional space, this will no longer be the case. But the BBC could (should?) have saved the money by simply canning the idea of BBC one +1
There's plenty of detail still missing (such as what happens with the shared childrens space, what happens to the HD space), hopefully things might become a little clearer today
