Page 61 - Bbc Three News Today

Spend a bit of time closer to home because bbc three is back as a traditional tv channel. and its controller fiona campbell has been explaining why. so a channel is an additional signal. its a really loud noise on which we can place our most successful shows and launch new talent from, its the place from which we can shout and say, "this is the place for you." in one switch, you switch it on. you can relax and see your world and your struggles reflected. there is obviously evidence as well in th...

Of the viewers were 16—to—34. and when drag race was on bbc one, it was... well, it was on iplayer originally, but bbc one showed it as part of the strategy. only 2% of its audience were 16—to—34. so you can see right there that bbc three, a channel, a destination for young audiences, is immediately attracting more young audiences by its very nature, and therefore you would hope that they stumble across a news bulletin. and, of course, the work goes on, rosanna. when you finish speaking ...

A really easy way to attract young audiences would be, "lets put in lots of celebrity stories, lets put in lots of entertainment stories," and a lot of the feedback overwhelmingly was, "well, weve already heard about that on our social media." so if weve heard about that 12 hours ago, the bbc is not telling us anything new. were not getting any extra value from a bulletin there." so if theres a reason to do an entertainment story — because itsjust broken — great. but if its old, why would we...

I think this is awkwardly timed for the bbc. that is not necessarily a problem in its own making. but you are right, the bbc has had its licence fee frozen for the next two years, which will equate to a funding shortfall of around £11; billion over the next six years or $0. and while doing that, it is same channels are going to come under threat and it is doing that at the same time as launching a channel. the timing is definitely awkward. for the bbc�*s say, i think supporters of the bbc hav...

Symptomatic of the time that, now, appointment to view tv, yes, it happens for some of the big saturday night shows, but its less a part of peoples daily routine than perhaps it once was. yeah, and i think the soaps have been struggling a little bit to get the next generation of people on board, because soaps used to be something that used to be just kind of there for us to get into. the fact that they never really had a beginning, they never really had an end meant that you were able to latch o...

And then hopefully that then points them back to iplayer, where there are recommended other shows that they may enjoy. but i think one of the big criticisms ive heard of this decision is that bbc three is coming back with a lower budget than when it went dark, and that, to some, is quite unpalatable. it shows for the people who believe in this that the bbc is not as committed to young audiences as it should be, and if it was committed to young audiences, it would restore the budget and increase ...

Persuade young adults back into watching news bulletins? enough colleagues to rescue your premiership... and guess what the subject was at the first question to the prime minister at this press conference in ukraine? in the face of strong protests, bbc three disappeared as a broadcast channel in 2016, though it continued to exist online. bbc bosses said it was to save money. this week, keen to ensure that 16—34—year—olds didnt lose forever the habit of watching scheduled television, the bb...

About what younger people want from the news. i wonder what you found. yeah, we did. so weve got a really good team in the audiences section of the bbc who put together several focus groups for us. so they found real people from across the uk, and kind of most importantly in that 16—to—21i—year—old age group, outside of london, outside of the sort of metropolitan elite bubble that i think is kind of, you know... thats what were all seeing on our timelines, is a very certain type of perso...

Million people to watch green planet and bbc one. tv provides a moment for people to be together and drive conversation where people want to share things together at a specific moment in time, just look at strictly come dancing. fire moment in time, just look at strictly come dancing. are you convinced? _ strictly come dancing. are you convinced? good _ strictly come dancing. are you convinced? good afternoon. i strictly come dancing. are you i convinced? good afternoon. much strictly come danc...

On any given night, so that kind of plays into it heavily on story choices. well, thanks for speaking to us during a very busy week. we appreciate it. thats rosanna... thank you. ..pound—woods from the catch up, which you can see later on bbc three on the tv, which is somewhere its not been for the last six years. well, thats the relaunch of bbc three as a linear tv channel, but lets turn now to what is definitely the biggest media squabble of the week. and surely this is the first time on the...
