BBC Three
Until March 2016, the network broadcast on Freeview, digital cable, IPTV and satellite television platforms, and was on-air from 7 pm to around 4 am each night to share terrestrial television bandwidth with CBBC. In March 2014, as a result of a planned £100 million budget cut across the BBC, it was proposed that BBC Three be discontinued as an "open" television service, and be converted to an over-the-top Internet television service with a smaller programming budget and a focus on short-form productions. Despite significant public opposition, the proposal was provisionally approved by the BBC Trust in June 2015, with a new consultation open until 30 September of that year. The linear channel ceased operations on 16 February 2016, replaced by a BBC Three-branded streaming channel on the iPlayer. A late-night strand of BBC Three original programmes has been aired by BBC One on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights since March 2019.
