This article talks about how BBC3 is going to be an on-line channel. It explains how the idea of there being a BBC+1 channel wasn't successful because of rival channels such as Channel 5 & ITV. BBC will save a vast amount of money (£30 million a year) by simply moving BBC3 on-line. BBC have realised that young people today are more on-line and have decided that 17-34 year olds (BBC's target audience) are more likely to watch the channel on-line. It talks about having new content and  ideas for BBC3 so as to keep the on-line audience attention.
