BBC Three is a television channel from the BBC broadcasting via digital cable, terrestrial, IPTV and satellite platforms. The channel’s target includes those in the 16–34 year old age group, and has the purpose of
providing "innovative" content to younger audiences, focusing on new
talent and new technologies. The
channel is on-air from 19:00 to around 05:00 each night, in order to
share terrestrial
television bandwidth with CBBC
In late
2001, the BBC decided to reposition and rebrand their two digital channels, so
that they could be more closely linked to the well-established BBC One and BBC Two. Their plan was
for BBC Knowledge to be renamed BBC Four, and indeed this
took place in 2002, and for BBC Choice to be renamed BBC Three.
The most popular drama that has aired BBC Three is Gavin & Stacey.
It debuted on BBC Three in May 2007. In 2005 of October BBC Three had announced
that there would be airing a spin of series from Doctor Who & Torchwood as
a post watershed science fiction drama. This was predominantly aimed at a more
adult audience. Torchwood launched with a high number of views. It gained 2.4
million viewers in October 2006 when it had launched and became fairly
successful.
