Talking TV #16: The great BBC3 debate

Broadcast’s Talking TV podcast rips up the format guide to bring you a no-holds-barred debate on the plans to move BBC3 online. Discussing the decision is Broadcast editor Chris Curtis and Karl Warner, the former BBC entertainment commissioner who now runs Sony Pictures Television-backed indie Electric Ray. They are joined by Dan Baldwin, the Celebrity Juice showrunner and boss of Hungry Bear Media, and Robb Leech, who was given his break by BBC3 when he made documentary My Brother the Islamist. Host Jake Kanter steers the debate around a number of key questions, including initial reactions to the news and assessing whether audiences are ready for the move online. He also asks: how can the BBC make a success of the plans?
