They possibly understand the landscape better than you think. BBC Three, Auntie’s channel targeted at 16-34s, closed its linear channel in 2016 as conventional wisdom was that youth audiences were shifting online-only. BBC Three became an exclusive commissioning strand on iPlayer.
Viewership however plummeted, and showcase linear broadcasts appeared late-night on BBC One from 2019, which increased viewership. In 2022 BBC Three returned as a linear channel.
Very interesting, and I'm happy to be corrected. I'm wondering what other factors there could be to that segment opting out of an iPlayer offering?
Why vinyl? Part of it is technological contrarianism, part of it is the convenience of sticking a channel on and not having to decide what to watch.
Fair. I can definitely sympathise with the vinyl comparison.
