«BBC Three» is a British digital television channel that was launched as a terrestrial channel on 9 February 2003, offering a range of programming aimed at a younger audience. Its target audience is aged 16 to 34, and it is known for its diverse programming, which includes dramas, documentaries, comedy, and reality shows.
Some of the notable programmes broadcast on «BBC Three» include “Being Human,” which follows the lives of a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost living together as roommates, “The Inbetweeners,” a comedy series about the awkward social lives of four teenage boys, and “The Mighty Boosh,” a surreal comedy that follows the adventures of two eccentric musicians.
In 2016, «BBC Three» transitioned to an online-only platform. This decision was made to save money and to better reflect the changing viewing habits of its target audience. The channel now offers a wide variety of on-demand content, including live streams of BBC Three programmes and a selection of classic BBC programmes.
Despite its online-only format, «BBC Three» remains an important part of the BBC's portfolio of channels. It continues to produce original programming and to provide a platform for emerging talent. It has also been praised for its commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The channel’s online presence has proven successful. «BBC Three» remains a popular destination for young viewers and it is seen as a valuable resource for discovering new content.
