The plan was, and still is, to retire the channel in favor of an online-only entity later this year... here's the original report announcing that decision <http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/bbc-three-tv-closure.html> (link) back in '14... and a regional paper's report <http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/leisure/showbiz/13361415.Plans_to_move_BBC3_online_approved_by_BBC_Trust/> (link) that the Trust has only recently finally signed off on the plan, after scrapping the unrelated additional plan to create a "plus one" companion to the pubcaster's flagship, and acknowledging that the savings to be realized from the move would be below initial forecasts.
