TV producers bid to save BBC Three Channel.
Two leading independent TV producers are to mount a £100m bid to buy the BBC3 TV channel, saving it from a move to online-only distribution.
Jon Thoday, joint managing director of Russell Howard’s Good News producer Avalon, and Jimmy Mulville, managing director of Hat Trick, the company behind Have I Got News For You, are expected to make a formal approach to BBC management in the near future.
