Read this: Steve Coogan backs bid to buy channel

Summary: The comedian Steve Coogan, and his independent TV production company Baby Cow, have backed Jimmy Mulville and Jon Thoday's bid to buy BBC3. Coogan's support will be one of the central planks of a letter to be sent on Wednesday by Thoday and Mulville to Danny Cohen, the BBC's director of television. The letter will also display the mischievousness for which Thoday and Mulville are renowned in the TV industry, by challenging both Cohen and BBC director general Tony Hall to a debate on the future of BBC3. quotThe subject should be 'Is a reduced spend on younger viewers by the BBC avoidable and will BBC3 online succeed' We suggest this be broadcast live on BBC3,quot Mulville and Thoday's letter will say. - www.theguardian.com
