BBC3 TV channel to be switched off by February, BBC Trust confirms




BBC 3 want to take it off there channel despite losing millions of young viewers taht have always watched shows on this channel. this is going to be a bad thing for the BBC as they will belosing out on alot of money and alot of viewers. they want to boost the views on BBC1 and BBC 2.

• The content budget for the new online-only service will be £30m, a 50% cut from the current level.about £6m of which will be spent on short-form content.
• but told bosses they must boost the amount of programming targeting young people on BBC1 and BBC2.
• The BBC3 TV channel will stop showing programmes at the end of January, but will continue to run as a “barker” – “a promotional transitional channel” – until it is fully switched off at the end of February.
• The trust said it was attempting to address concerns about losing its younger audience after research showed that up to 80% of the 925,000 audience who use no other BBC TV service could switch off. The BBC says that 540,000 of those are 16 to 34 year olds.
• On average, 11.2 million people watch BBC3 every week, according to the trust’s own analysis. As a consequence of the online-only switch, the BBC’s reach among 16- to 24-year-olds could fall by 3% to 3.5% overall, and up to 5% of black audiences and women in lower income households are also likely to be lost.

I think that the BBC shouldnt take off BBC 3 as many people still want to watch the programmes on the shows . I think that it shouldnt be taken off as they will lose alot of viewers and alot of money too. BBC 3 wasnt that great but when repeated shows come on it would be shown on BBC 3 and that was a good thing because if epopel missed it then they can watch it.

The Sun did not spin its headline





The sun has made the Guardian angry as the sun had a poll .It is ironic, though, that the Guardian makes play of complaints to the newspaper industry regulator Ipso, an organisation it has itself declined to join.

• Contrary to your assertions, no facts were “brazenly doctored” in the Sun’s reporting of the poll. The question about sympathy for Muslims “who leave the UK to join fighters in Syria” was clearly – by its context and ordinary meaning – a reference to those fighting for Islamic State, and was chosen by the polling company.
• The Sun reported the question, and the rest of the survey, in full, together with comment from major Muslim voices, including Labour’s London mayoral candidate.

Its bad that they had made a poll against them and the sun had to make sur ethat they apologised as its something serious. The sun doesnt always do things by the books and this shows one of the reasons.
