Rejected petition Stop the BBC from making BBC Three an online only channel
More details
The BBC is considering making BBC Three a wholly online channel in an attempt to cut costs.
Since its launch in 2003, BBC Three has been the birthplace of numerous ratings successes, including Little Britain, Torchwood, Being Human and Gavin and Stacey.
...Little Britain star Lucas in a tweet proclaiming the channel to be "the home of new comedy and drama".
...Jack Whitehall: "I really hope reports that the BBC may kill BBC3 are just rumours. Their support of new comedy in particular is vital."
Don't cut BBC Three! The argument should be whether BBC Three is to become the latest HD channel on Freeview.
