Corporation announces return of youth-oriented channel to linear programming after five years
BBC Three will return as a broadcast channel next year, the BBC said, in an attempt to woo back younger audiences who have turned away from its output.
The corporation announced the return of the youth-oriented channel to linear programming five years after it was taken online-only. At the time the BBC Trust said that the move was justified because “independent evidence shows younger audiences are watching more online and watching less linear TV”.
