In the white heat of BBC Annual Plans around 2017/8, the organisation remembered there were people aged 16-34 in the population at large, and promised to do something for them. Then, the big trick was that online only BBC3 would be moving to Birmingham.
In 2017, the main outlet for live performances of contemporary pop music on BBC television was Later with Jools Holland, on BBC2. Jools was 59. Producer Mark Cooper was about to retire.
In October last year, the BBC Board said there's a problem with 16-24 year old audiences, and the answer is probably TikTok and Instagram.
In 2026, the main outlet for live performances of contemporary pop music on BBC television is Later with Jools Holland, on BBC2. Jools is 68. Producer Alison Howe is 55.
As far as anyone can tell, BBC3 is still in and around London.
