BBC Three 2003 - 2016

BBC Three was a British television channel operated by the BBC. Launched on 9 February 2003 as a replacement for BBC Choice, the service's remit was to provide "innovative" programming to a target audience of viewers between 16 and 34 years old, leveraging technology as well as new talent.

BBC Three signed off during the early morning of 16 February 2016. The final programme was an episode of Gavin & Stacey, introduced by co-star James Corden from the Los Angeles studio of The Late Late Show. The channel thereafter carried promotional information regarding the BBC Three internet service until it officially went dark.

As part as the BBC's plan to move BBC Three online on 16 February the new logo was launched on 4 January 2016.
