This is one of the BBC's main problems when trying to target a younger audience, they seem to think everyone under a certain age hails from a south london council estate.

Well you can't expect a BBC producer to leave the capital now can you? :roll:

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

Another 'BBC3 is in the gooseberry fool' article:

Guardian wrote:BBC Three: relaunched live TV channel struggles to win viewers

When BBC Three relaunched as a live television channel earlier this year, the corporation hoped its counterintuitive punt on a youth-focused broadcast outlet would help it reach new audiences. Instead, the channel’s shows are consistently being beaten in the ratings by repeats of old history programmes featuring the deceased steeplejack Fred Dibnah on BBC Four.

Most of BBC Three’s programmes have so far failed to attract more than 100,000 viewers on live television, according to official viewing figures, while some shows are lucky to get a tenth of that. Even the programmes that do perform relatively well – such as episodes of MasterChef Australia – are rarely the original distinctive in-house shows that the channel exists to provide.

As a result, despite years of work to return the channel to air, BBC Three is now being beaten in the ratings by the vintage film channel Talking Pictures and the rightwing current affairs station GB News.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/ ... in-viewers

Broadcast also revealed last week that the average audience amongst 16-24 year olds is down 91% compared to BBC3 in 2016.

It would help were they to actually screen something worth bothering with.

It was only Family Guy which kept the channel afloat the first time around.

It’s almost like pulling yourself of the air and losing all viewers might be a bad call when it comes to grabbing viewing figures

Been on the cards for a long time, but it’s happening.

I feel like I'm in a pretty niche group of people upset because I watch both of those channels on TV...

Just makes the decision to bring back BBC3 as a station look even more ridiculous.

GB News and TalkTV can stay on the air, but OR can't watch documentaries about concrete on BBC4.

The priorities of this country are all wrong.

I can't remember the last time i watched anything on BBC4.

Mind you, have they learned nothing from the 'moving online' disaster that befell BBC3 first time around?
