BBC Three is a TV channel that's available on digital TV such as Sky, Freeview and Freesat. It broadcasts daily between 7pm and 5am. The channel is primarily aimed at younger viewers - from late teens to early 20s and focusses more on comedy than any other genre.

As with all BBC Channels, you won't find any paid adverts. Instead, the transition time between programmes is often taken up by a programme called 60 Seconds which shows snippets of the news in just one minute (hence the name).

My favourite programmes on BBC Three are the animated US imports - Family Guy and American Day... they're the reason I watch it - the new season of Family Guy in particular is excellent (shown Sundays at 10pm).

A lot of other programmes are repeats that have already been on other BBC channels - trash such as Eastenders and Wipeout are often on. There are occasionally feature films shown too on BBC Three.

BBC Three is also used as a spill-over channel during big sporting events, such as the football World Cup where lesser matches may be shown rather than on BBC1. BBC Three was also used to broadcast the recent Confederations Cup.

Summary: Decent free-to-air digital TV channel
