Is this the beginning of the end of the BBC?

They are following everyone else & turning it into streaming services. Thats still not actually saving money

Really sad to hear this. One of my favourite TV programmes. They show some superb stuff...

BBC Three is my favourite channel to watch all the Top Gear episodes without cuts or ad breaks 

[Cleoriff]

They (and we) will lose so much I think....

Not sure how this will save money but that's the thinking I'm sure.

If they really wanna save 25m they could just give themselves a pay cut for doing sod all, 

Honestly, TV nowadays is absolute junk and not worth half of the so called licence fee(tax) we have forced upon us.

Even satellite TV is crap, endless repeats and the same programmes on every channel. I'm happy to say that the only tv I've seen for 3 months is one episode of constipation street and live football every weekend.

Much prefer playing the guitar these days.

It all depends on personal choice re TV. I love wildlife documentaries....some soaps...Strictly come Dancing...Google box. ..Sherlock etc etc...

I agree the satellite  channels are mainly rubbish though a lot of good stuff on Sky Atlantic  lately. As for BBC 3 they show a lot of music shows...Inc Glastonbury. Won't be the same watching it online

BBC 3 has had some great shows over the years, baffles me how they'd close that but keep some of the other trash channels on air.
