The article says:
<blockquote>
''Launched on February 9, 2003''
</blockquote>
Is this when ''BBC Choice'' was ''''originally''' launched, or when it '''changed''' to ''BBC Three''? --[[User:Phil Boswell|Phil]] 17:58, Feb 12, 2004 (UTC)

Belated answer: when it changed to BBC Three. [[User:Lee M|Lee M]] 03:41, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The "Availability" sidebar lists "Terrestrial (PAL I standard)" which implies the channel is available on analogue terrestrial. This is untrue.


The article reads: ''"It has been noted though that the BBC Three blobs are basically another form of the blob-like characters that are the main feature of both CBeebies and CBBC."'' However, there is no link between the BBC Three ident characters and those used by the BBC's two children's idents. They were designed by different agencies, commissioned by different people and the likeliness is a mere coincidence (and proof that new ideas are thin in TV!) [[User:Pickup Stix|Pickup Stix]]

According to this TV insider ('Mr' Biffo), BBC3 is looking to change it's target audience. Should this be included in the article, or is it too much like conjecture for Wiki's high standard?

==Rebrand info==

I have added info about the 2008 rebrand, including new shows commisioned and how the audience will be affected.

Any queries discuss on my page. --[[User:Markmacmillan|Mark Macmillan™]] ([[User talk:Markmacmillan|talk]]) 21:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:Should be discussed here, that's what this page is for. For reference:

::2008 Rebrand
::There are currently rumours circulating about a rebrand for the channel in [[2008]]. This includes a redesign of the current logo and a rebrand of its programming output<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/enterthreetv/</ref>. It may mean that the current target audience of the station will be affected.

::New shows commissioned include a variety show based on social networking, hosted by [[Lily Allen]] <ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/lilyallen/</ref>, a series of "hard-hitting" documentaries aimed at a young audience<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/09_september/09/young.shtml</ref> and a six-part drama series called [[Being Human (TV series) |Being Human ]]<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/07_july/10/pilots.shtml</ref>.

::The channel's new style has been compared to that of [[E4]]. <ref>http://www.thestage.co.uk/tvtoday/2007/12/enter_bbc_three.php</ref>

::More information can be found [http://www.bbc.co.uk/enterthreetv/ here].

:Starting this section off with "There are currently rumours..." is not good. It implies that they are, indeed, rumours, and per [[WP:CBALL]] appart from all else Wikipedia is not for rumours. Taking a glance at the above sources I can't find any that state as solid fact that a rebrand is on it's way, except the fact that the BBC site cited has a different CI, so I've removed the section for now, pending the citation of more solid sources, and a reword.

:::Fair enough, I just noticed that BBC3 was changing due to news on the Enter Three TV minisite and adverts across BBC networks. I have tried to provide sources as best I could, but I am aware that articles cannot be written on rumours. Possibly the new shows comissioned (2nd paragraph) could be incorporated elsewhere as I have used references from a reputable source (BBC press office)?

== BBC Three re-launch at 7pm ==

I have just looked at the website http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree and its currently under construction. So after 5 years and 3 days, BBC Three gets a new facelift :-D [[User:Onshore|Onshore]] <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|comment]] was added at 13:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
