Your Daily News in 60 Seconds or Less - BBC3 IS BACK

 It's been six long freaking years, but FINALLY the day has come, BBC3 is finally returning as a full-time 12-hour cable TV channel BUT FOR REAL THIS TIME

On February 16th, 2016, the saddest day of BBC's history with the death of BBC3

Thankfully that channel is coming back.

BBC3 will return to cable screens on Tuesday February 1st, 2022 at running the usual time of 7.00pm-4.00am BDT/GMT. The channel will continue to air the classics including opening their broadcast night with 60 Seconds, Top Gear, Don't Tell the Brides, Gavin & Stacy starring USA talk show host James Corden and Disney-FOX' Family Guy which tragically lost the rights to air on Cartoon Network, TBS and Adult Swim last September.

Unfortunately this means it's back to the old drawing board for its kids channel for the over-sixes CBBC which will discontinue its extended 7-9pm hours ran since March 2016 and will go back to shutting down their broadcast days at 7.00pm like it has always done since the BBC Choice days in 1998
