BBC Three, the first channel to broadcast entirely online

This decision could save the public corporation around 30 million pounds.

The third channel of the British BBC will broadcast from this week only through the Internet through the iPlayer platform.

This decision could save the public corporation around 30 million pounds.

BBC Three se lanzó en 2003 con una programación dirigida a una audiencia joven entre los 16 y 24 años. Entre otras, producciones irreverentes como Little Britain o Him & Her dieron gran popularidad al canal.

To date, the channel could be received through DTT, cable and satellite. BBC Three was followed by 11.2 million people each week, reaching a 25% share of the 16-24 year old target. However, it is also currently the only BBC channel watched by 925,000 people in that age group, 80% of whom are expected to be lost following the move online.
