Following the news that BBC Three's linear channel is to close in favour of a digital-first strategy, we asked members of the public what they thought about the move.
"BBC Three is not closing, we are reinventing online," promised Damian Kavanagh, controller of BBC Three, after it was announced the youth-channel would be migrating from televisions to tablets and computers in the new year.
The decision, which has been mooted for several months, was met with a mixed reaction.
So BBC Three is set to close in February. Good.

So many good and irreplaceable programmes, almost all documentaries or drama-docs, on BBC Three. The channel that least deserves to close.
