Will be interesting to see where BBC 3 returns to number wise.
Why should they take a top 20 slot just because they are (re)launching a new channel.

Because PSB channels have OFCOM rules re: EPG prominence that came into effect January 2021. Certain ones need to be in the Top 8 positions, others in the Top 24, some in top positions for their Category e.g. News or Children's.
BBC3 is PSB, and (I think) the only PSB for that demographic of the population. BBC4 is supposedly going to be transititioned into being more of an archive channel, with it's first run content moving to BBC2.

IIRC Channel4 bid high to get the channel number for E4 when BBC 3 departed

And VM have left the old E4 channel number empty ever since. It has always seemed to me this suggested VM thought they may have to move it back, even if it was simply because a rival broadcaster outbid Channel 4 for 106 at some point in the future.
