About BBC3

BBC Three is an over-the-top service owned and operated by the BBC. This service was launched on February 16, 2016 to replace the defunct BBC Three channel. The launch came due to budget cuts made by the BBC, while it also gave the company a chance to produce content for avid users of online video services. 

BBC Three aims to produce interesting content for a demographic if 16 to 34-year-olds. In order to give BBC Three’s productions more visibility, BBC One opened a timeslot in its schedule to air the content produced by the online service during certain weekdays.

This service’s content is quite similar to the one produced by the defunct BBC Three channel, which also included news and sports. In the past, BBC Three aired some games featuring the English Women’s Football Team, while also adding Africa Cup of Nations matches during the early 2000s.

BBC Three’s content throughout the years has included web series, documentaries, comedy shows. Most of the shows produced by this platform are made available to watch via BBC iPlayer, while other multimedia content is used on the company’s social media platforms.
