As you’ve correctly pointed out they are reversing the decision. Clearly, because little of this online content had the reach of the linear channel.

I could give the BBC a way to save billions by - closing down. It’s hardly a like for like comparison.
It is true that there would have been a saving from not having to fill the schedules with all that pathetic filler content. What wasn’t filler was put onto BBC3 Online.

Your analogy is off the wall. BBC3 is returning as a conventional channel because it was far too early to close it down. In good time, all the Beeb’s channels will close down together and the content made available on a streamer.
