Quite an interesting decision but this perhaps reflects the new direction Auntie is taking with BBC 3.

EDIT:

Well this is a clear example of the BBC trying to generate some controversy were none exists. Lilley seems to more puzzled by their actions rather than angered. We can presume that thee Beeb is simply trying to generate supporting evidence for their planned move of BBC 3 content on-line. If the programme is seen to be primarily consumed on demand they can say that this proves that the target audience prefer digital content. A cynical move that will be used to justify a cost cutting exercise as simply meeting the needs of their target demographic.
