Media Boy Opinions on BBC Three axe

As you may know the BBC is set to axe BBC Three in 2015 so that BBC One +1 can launch - the following is my own opinion.

WHY IS THE BBC SET TO CLOSE BBC THREE FOR?
The BBC says it to save money and add £30m into BBC One's bill per year for more Drama to be made. But the real reason is so The BBC can reuse BBC Three channel numbers for the new part time BBC One +1 Channel. But even that may not happen.

WHY?
On Freeview Digital UK gives the lower FREE channel number on Freeview to Local TV so Local TV may end up getting an UK Wide Channel number of 7. BBC One +1 may end up getting two channels

-Channel 8 in England.
-Channel 26 in Wales and Scotland.

For BBC One +1 to broadcast.


WHAT THE JOKE!!!
After axe of BBC Three by 2016 as an broadcast TV Channel we will end up with BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Four - unless the BBC is also set to rebrand BBC Four as BBC Two Extra or BBC Extra.

The BBC has confirmed that CBBC will be given an extra hour to broadcast - until 8pm.
The BBC has also confirmed that BBC One +1 on the space left over from BBC Three.


ALL Proposals are still to given an go-ahead by the BBC Trust.
