The BBC is to close their hugely popular Cult Television site on July 15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC has decided – as part of its “restructuring of the BBC’s online activities” – to pull the plug on its hugely popular Cult website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those not familiar with Cult should mosey on down and have shufti. Readers who already enjoy its eclectic mix should read the following with horror:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This site shuts next month. Bye, then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, as part of the restructuring of the BBC’s online activities, this site is closing at the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re trying to find alternative bbc.co.uk homes for some sites, but much of the content will be removed from the servers, and that which remains will not be maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to thank all our users (700,000 of you last month!), and to everyone who expressed an opinion of us in the BBC’s Online Audience survey (we nearly came top – beaten only by those pesky News people).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team have had a wonderful six years looking after the site, and hope you continue to enjoy the BBC’s online offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS: Don’t worry about the Doctor Who site. It’s safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s right – 700,000 people a month, so obviously it has to go. What’s more, much of the material faces deletion. Marvellous. As one irate punter puts it: “Who’s the bozo who made this decision?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
