BBC Three, the digital platform behind such global-facing hits as “Fleabag” and “Normal People,” is on track to return to TV screens early next year.
U.K. media regulator Ofcom provisionally approved the return of BBC Three as a channel on Thursday — six months after the transition was first announced by the BBC after months of speculation.
“BBC has proposed to relaunch [BBC Three] as a broadcast channel. We have analyzed this proposal in detail and have provisionally concluded that the public value of BBC Three’s return as a broadcast channel justifies the limited adverse market impact that might arise from it,” said Ofcom in a statement.
The regulator points out that the relaunch “would increase [BBC Three’s] availability and reach to people who don’t currently have access to it. These include people from lower income households and those living outside of London and the south east.”
