In last few days the BBC has received huge criticism from viewers and fans of the channel moving online only. Their beloved BBC Three was up for the chop after plans were given the go ahead in November 2015 to make it an online-only channel and plans were first proposed back in 2014 for both BBC Three and Four to move online but plans were halted for a while and then was announced back in November 2015 that BBC Three will just move online with BBC Four been saved from the chop.
The move did spark controversy, however, prompting a Save BBC Three campaign that gathered more than 300,000 signatures, albeit in vain. BBC Three now moves into a crowded online marketplace, with giants such as Netflix and Amazon Prime already having established online audiences.
Also a lot of popular BBC Three shows including Family Guy have been bought over by ITV and will air on ITV 2 and repeats of Eastenders moving onto Sky Channel W Previously named Watch.
Also some comedy shows have moved to late nights on BBC One and BBC Two.

I've noticed it's not just me who is ignoring #BBCThree. I just looked at their Twitter figures. They've just lost most of their audience.

Urgh also, the large version of the #BBCThree logo has the BBC off to the left. It looks stupid. pic.twitter.com/deaVJELc8I
