This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Save BBC Three
More details
We the people demand that the BBC Channel 'BBC Three' be saved from its impending cessation of services.
BBC Three is a now long-standing channel catering to the adolescent and young adult audiences and License Fee payers.
BBC Three is a very important channel to young people, offering life lessons, documentaries about young life, including sexual health and the downsides of alcohol and drug abuse.
The channel also receives 1.5% of UK Television Audience share, as compared to 1.0% of BBC Four, which is to carry on its services.
We the signatories, as License Fee payers, call the DCMS to veto this decision on behalf of the people of Britain.
