With just over 8 million people living in London alone (stats from 2011) and BBCThree coming to and end next year i think this is a clever, fresh idea! I'm looking forward to it!!

So Londoners, what do you think? Do you like the idea of this new channel?
& To everyone not living in London, are you disappointed that you can't view the channel?
