The Beeb were very careless over the BBC3 change. It is far too early to put this channel on demand only and they have learned this lesson the hard way.

They need to have a co-ordinated strategy for all their channels - it is a mistake to just single out one channel for special treatment in this way.

Later in the decade, when the majority of viewers are more comfortable with on demand viewing as the main way they watch TV, and their on demand platforms are made easier to use, they will need to dilute the programmes on the scheduled traditional channels and also provide further inducements (including most of their new programming) to ensure that people can see advantages to moving to VOD. When the time is right, they would need to close down all the channels at the same time.
