If you don't live under a rock then you should have heard that BBC Three is going to get axed. BBC Three is a British TV channel aimed for 16 to 34 year olds. I'm not upset about this mainly because, although I am apart of the demographic, there aren't many shows on there that are my 'cup of tea.' But that doesn't mean to say that there isn't any potential.
The BBC are axing the channel to save money. I personally think that this is rubbish and if the BBC want to save money then they are going to wrong way around it. I honestly think that if any channel should be axed it should be BBC Four. Why? Because the target audience are at the age where they are set in their ways and know what they like and like what they know, meaning the viewing figures for BBC Four are not a good enough excuse for the channel to still be running. Whereas the target audience for BBC Three are the future. They're the ones who will be or already are paying the license fee that is providing the BBC with the money that they are so desperately trying to save. The BBCs chosen move is going to make 'the future' their enemies, which could essentially leave them with nothing and then it will be 'bye, bye BBC' and although there are a lot of people that want this anyway, I and many others don't want this.
So even if you're not passionate about this subject, but maybe you love Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents or Snog, Marry, Avoid etc, or maybe you feel like helping out those people that are passionate or maybe because you just feel like it, please sign this petition to help save a channel that is potentially the future http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/to-the-bbc-trust-save-bbc3
