BBC Three has produced exciting, original television programming for 16-34 year olds since 2002. It has been a launchpad for programmes like Being Human, Torchwood, Russell Howard's Good News, Mighty Boosh, Bad Education, Gavin and Stacey, and Little Britain. It offers live debates and documentaries. It is also the channel for young people to go to for live music - something which is often relegat
ed from the other main BBC television channels. Where else would dedicated coverage of Reading and Leeds, T In The Park, and Radio 1's Big Weekend fit if it was not on BBC Three? The red button has already faced cuts on Freeview. We 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. An 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. We are calling for the BBC save the channel and to continue to invest in new dramas, comedy, and music programming for young adults.
