I did when it was linear. I still like their stuff even though I’m a bit older than the target audience now. But it’s only broadcast late at night on BBC1 so I tend to miss it.

They say they are bringing it back to linear because they can get a bigger audience.
The proof is in the pudding.
We wait and see.

That would be nice but given the BBC has only a finite amount of license payers money to go around l would say it was very very unlikely.

Jfman believes that a linear TV station can be run for tuppence, so it really shouldn’t even a problem, Den. 😂

Not yet it’s not. Don’t know where you got that from.
Ask that question again in the next decade.

Those reports that prophesy that within the next five years certainly are.

Can you not just record it, Chris, or alternatively view it on the non-linear BBC I-Player?

Actually, I’ve been getting a suntan this afternoon. The facts aren’t looking good for OLD BOY detractors, I’m afraid.

I’d prefer you addressed actual points I made rather than throw up ludicrous straw men out of desperation.
The BBC 3 situation is a case in point for my argument. The BBC are making all of the content anyway, however not getting the reach or the viewers by streaming alone. Why cut their nose off to spite their face to make you happy?

You are being ridiculous, and you know it. My view that the linear channels will disappear by 2035 has nothing to do with their relative success in 2020. The golden era has past, and in the future they will be clinging on for fear of their impending demise.
Are you backtracking on your previous claims, jfman? They are here for all to see on this very thread.
