	BBC Choice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another important aspect of BBC Choice's programming was its children's output, branded CBBC On Choice and using the regular presenters from BBC One and Two children's output to present a wide range of programming for younger viewers.
		This took up most of BBC Choice's daytime hours and included repeats of archive shows rarely seen on the main channels, such as Mr Benn, Paddington and Ivor the Engine.
		In February 2002, CBBC On Choice was spun-off into two separate channels, CBBC and CBeebies which time-shared with BBC Choice and BBC Knowledge respectively.

		BBC Choice was the first general entertainment channel for a UK audience to be launched by the BBC since the introduction of BBC-2 back in 1964.
		As for BBC Choice, it was launched as a digital-only channel; indeed it had launched before domestic digital receiving equipment became available for the general public to purchase, and the bulk of viewers in its very early days were chipset makers and receiver testers.
		BBC Choice as a channel had a very relaxed atmosphere about it, and that was reflected in the presentation as well; four different idents were employed which showed groups of three different objects but with the same name, e.g.

		In March 2003 the BBC announced that from the end of May 2003 (subsequently deferred to July 14) it intended to transmit all eight of its domestic television channels (including the 15 regional variations of BBC ONE) unencrypted from the Astra 2D satellite.
		A contemporary music station, BBC Radio 1, was launched in 1967 in response to pirate radio stations (most of which closed on or before the introduction of new legislation on 15 August, 1967), and the present numbered names were adopted on the same day, 30 September, 1967.
		BBC ONE is the home to the BBC's main news bulletins, currently being shown at 1pm, 6pm and 10pm GMT (or British Summer Time, depending on the time of the year).

	Choice gets going
		Choice was a rather unloved channel for most of its four and a half years of existence.
		Choice’s “family of three” strategy was beginning to look increasingly out of place as the BBC wanted to market a family of five or six.
		The new BBC Choice was aimed at younger people, with most of the early part of the schedules being made up of fifteen-minute programmes under the banner of “Refreshing TV” or “Micro TV”.

	BBC Choice - Review - The Weakest Link
		Choice is set to become BBC Three in the not to distant future, but for the time-being it remains a ‘youth’ orientated channel that can’t capture it’s target audience.
		Choice offers new programming on a channel that many people don’t even know exists, while E4 does this but adds the allure of the big American imports that people have actually heard of to entice the viewer.
		Choice also offers stand-up comedy from comedians who you’ve never heard of and who are about as cutting-edge as a butter knife and as funny as death.

		As for "distinctive", the first thing BBC3 must be distinctive from is BBC Choice, which failed as a catch-up station of repeats and is now failing as a youth channel.
		BBC Choice is already using the BBC3 logo of three spinning cubes, already has a blink-or-you'll miss-it news bulletin, and already has its basic scheduling blocks in place: Liquid News at 7pm, and the Johnny Vaughan chat show at 9pm.
		As its little sister was showing Toilets, BBC Knowledge offered us Storyville: Baria's big wedding (10.35pm), a rather sad documentary by Manu Bonmariage, about a teenager from Marseilles whose ridiculous mother, a citizen of the Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros, had promised Baria's hand to a passing Comoran boy before she was even born.

		From its launch BBC KNOWLEDGE had been conveyed on another DTT multiplex managed by SDN but for contractual reasons there were significant periods of the weekend during which bit-rate was not available.
		A challenge for the BBC is that we broadcast mixed-genre services, which are competitively scheduled, and our programmes are often visually stimulating with active content that is frequently hard to code.
		The BBC and the operators therefore had to co-ordinate the changes required to DTT and cable architectures to ensure a smooth transition without loss of service.
