We&#8217;ve already been experimenting with online content, starting with the hugely popular <em>Comedy Feeds<\/em>, now in their second season and with a third in the pipeline. Premiering our scripted comedies on BBC iPlayer is an obvious and exciting step forward for BBC Three, and yet another innovative way to give our viewers more choice in the ways they can enjoy our programs.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Victoria Jaye, the head of BBC TV content online and IPTV, added: &quot;We want to use BBC iPlayer to maximize audiences&#8217; discovery of BBC programs and increase the time they spend with the BBC. Forty-two percent of viewers who to come to BBC iPlayer today do so without anything specific in mind to watch, and over a third are happy to try new and different content. This presents a fantastic opportunity to use BBC iPlayer as a complementary platform to schedule broadcast programs in new ways, and innovate with content that showcases fresh U.K. talent. We&#8217;re incredibly excited to see how audiences respond to premiering BBC Three scripted comedies on BBC iPlayer, and to our separate trial to premiere a small number of programs from other BBC channels.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: BBC Three plans to debut all of its scripted comedy programming on BBC iPlayer starting at the end of next month.
