In an interview with BuzzFeed News ahead of the launch of The Late Late Show with James Corden, he argued that “BBC Three not existing as a channel on TV and lobbying for it to be on TV is the wrong argument”.
In an interview with BuzzFeed News about his new US chat show, James Corden claimed that it is right for BBC Three to only continue online.
The comedian, whose show Gavin and Stacey was originally shown on BBC Three, told BuzzFeed News: "We've just had a Golden Globes where best comedy series, best comedy performance and best television drama actor were all won by programmes that have never been on television. Two programmes on Amazon Prime and one on Netflix. And if you said that five years ago you would have been laughed out of the room.
"So BBC Three not existing as a channel on TV and lobbying for it to be on TV is the wrong argument. That's not the argument. Is it still going to be what is stands for? Is it is still for fresh writers, new actors, new directors, new documentary makers? If you're still pledging to do that in the same manner, it will just exist here online, fantastic, because it is great if there is a BBC channel that is the first to do those things."

"Amazon Prime is doing great things and Netflix is doing great things. Hulu is doing great things, and wouldn't it be great if BBC Three… if it only exists online, and gets nominated for a BAFTA in one or two years time, what a great statement."
