BBC Three is to return as a broadcast TV channel in 2022, the corporation has announced. The BBC hopes running a broadcast channel and iPlayer in tandem will help 'grow our offer and deliver more value to younger audiences'. 'So regardless of the debates about the past, we want to give BBC Three its own broadcast channel again. 'It has exciting, ground breaking content that deserves the widest possible audience and using iPlayer alongside a broadcast channel will deliver the most value.' As a TV channel, BBC Three was best known for shows such as Gavin And Stacey, Being Human and the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.
