Bbc +1 Channels
5 Answers
18 months ago, the media reports were that the BBC were planning to launch +1 channels. +1 channels are already operated by ITV, Channel 4 and others.
Since that time there has been no news I could find online as to the apparent lack of information as far as the BBC plans and activities are concerned.
During this time, there has been mention of plans to move BBC3 off Freeview and I wonder if any delay on this matter is somehow connected to the lack of progress in introducing +1 channels.
Anybody out there have any updates?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Last week the new director general, Tony Hall, did announce "the BBC is planning to launch a BBC One +1 channel." Lord Hall said audiences expected a timeshift service that would give people "more of what they've already paid for".
Other innovations he announced included a revamped, personalised iPlayer, offering a 30-day catch-up period.
The service will also allow users to watch shows before they are broadcast.
No mention last week on the demise of BBC 3.
