This is an interesting idea. Although with the confirmation that BBC One will have local HD variants within the next few years, could we see BBC Three returning to 115?
I assume that Freeview is the biggest problem, what with the mess it's already caused getting BBC Four bumped up in Scotland.
What's the deal with 7 and 8? OK for most of the UK apart from Scotland?
Its all well and good the Beeb eyeing up EPG124 on Sky, but as Sky own the slot I expect the day Fox closes it will be filled by a Sky branded channel.
Anyway, Ofcom have not even given the go ahead for Three's return to telly yet. Imagine it being a case of 2002 all over again and Three not being given the green light and where BBC Choice carried on. (Not that we have Choice to fall back on if Three is not given the approval).
The BBC One HD slot is the best place for Three on Sky.
I don't really see any reason to stop a BBC Three return to linear. There is popular demand from the public, and it will bump up competition with ITV2 & E4, who have excelled after Three's move online, especially during lockdown. Maybe the Beeb will be on course to gain the younger audiences back.
