The BBC Trust has just approved plans to take BBC Three off the air and making it an online-only service in January 2016.
The proposal was made back in 2014 and invited backlash from show producers and viewers who wanted to keep the channel alive, but their efforts were to no avail.
Cutting the service will save the BBC £30m a year, some of which will be put into the BBC1 drama budget. However, the Trust says it will consider running the new web service alongside the existing TV channel for a while before the latter is phased out.
