Closing ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three would be "a risky decision", Doctor Who and Torchwood writer Chris Chibnall has said. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News understand the television channel is to be closed and moved to an online-only service through the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer. The announcement, part of a planned £100m saving in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s budget, is expected to be made on Thursday. Chris Chibnall, who has also written ITV's Broadchurch, said "The [viewing] figures for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three are still very good". "ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three is the one television service that does speak to a younger audience, and the younger audience is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s future."
