The vision for the new BBC Three broadcast channel was shared buy BBC Three controller Fiona Campbell who stated.
There are 16 million 16-34s in the UK with a huge range of different life experiences
Then there will be the chance to hear from some of the people involved in shows that you will see on TV in the coming months.
When I became Controller three years ago, my vision was to make BBC Three a channel more representative of the whole of the UK, that tells stories that are unfiltered, unapologetic and extraordinary.
Youth is not one homogenous group.
They live in the countryside, by the sea, in cities and small towns – they are at the beginning of their life journeys, some live with family where they were born, others have moved away to find their paths in life.
BBC Three is going to be a noisy channel – hyper-focused on this varied experience of being young in the UK today.
We want audiences to see people on screen like them – people who have triumphed over adversity, who inspire, challenge and are having fun.
Three years into my job and we’re on the right path.
I truly believe that I have one of the most creative jobs in the whole of the UK Television industry and it is an absolute privilege to be at the helm of a team so focussed on generating British hits of the future.
We have had some amazing success stories.
