It offers live debates and documentaries.\r\n\r\nWe believe that the BBC does not do enough to cater for young adults, and scrapping BBC Three from cable, satellite, and terrestrial television would be a big mistake.\r\n\r\nAn online move would mean less money for quality programming, would restrict access for those in many rural areas, as well as those without an active broadband connection.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-03-06T15:36:48.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:48.368Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:43:45.289Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-03-06T15:36:48.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"This is an operational matter for the BBC."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
