Bbc Three And Eurovision Semi Finals

[nicelander]

Could someone clarify with the demise of BBC Three as we know it and its transfer to online only, as to whether the two Semi Finals of the Eurovision Song Contest will only be able to be viewed with a computer or if they have moved channel.
Many thanks

Given that BBC Three is meant to have a target audience in the 16 to 34 age range, having had the Eurovision Song Contest semi finals on that channel suggests that someone at the BBC is seriously out of touch with modern youth culture!

(I love the ESC but that's probably 'cos I'm in my 60s. I can't really believe that many 20-year-olds actually watch it in this country!)

I believe it's very popular with one sector of the 16-34 age group, Buenchico.

Agreed Buenchico.

But is BBC4 also the right home for it? I don't think so.

[Buenchico]

BBC4 is theoretically an 'arts' channel.

Does the ESC qualify as 'art', perhaps?

When is BBC 3 ending. I will miss being able to watch EastEnders at 11.00p.m
