The BBC is hoping to bring back BBC Three as a regular TV channel, four years after it was taken off air and moved online.
The youth channel, which commissioned hits like Normal People and Fleabag, will also have its budget doubled.
It left linear TV in 2016 to save £30m, and because the corporation said young people were watching more shows online.
The BBC now says it is "considering the case" for returning the channel to "linear television".
A BBC spokesman said "we'd be wrong not to back a service that is doing better than anyone could have ever conceived".
The turnaround will be formally announced as part of the BBC's annual plan on Wednesday, but there was no news about the fate of BBC Four, which has been rumoured for the axe.
