BBC Introduces New Linear Slot for BBC Three Programming

February 12, 2019 Kristin Brzoznowski Top Stories

BBC One has created a special slot to showcase programming from the online-only BBC Three.

Starting at 10:35 p.m., between Monday and Wednesday every week, select BBC Three programs will air in a new, regular destination after the News at Ten on BBC One. Question Time will remain after the news and weather on Thursdays but at the earlier time of 10:35 p.m. On Fridays, the news and weather already finish at 10:35 p.m.

The first raft of titles in the BBC Three slot will be the second season of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag, followed by the new dating format Eating with My Ex and the Stacey Dooley-fronted make-up competition Glow-Up airing across Monday through Wednesday, respectively.

In addition to the regular slot on BBC One, the BBC iPlayer’s home screen is being developed to help viewers find new BBC Three content more easily.
