It seems they’re now trying to give the material a slightly higher profile. Surely this is somewhat counter to your narrative OB? Three’s output is aimed at 18-35s, the very demographic that supposedly is eminently reachable via streaming platforms. Yet the BBC seems to need to push its content made for that demographic via its primary broadcast channel.
I suppose you could read it that way. Or maybe the truth is that this age group is not really into BBC programming.

YouTube type material is more up their street, I guess.
