Is this necessary, and how can I get rid of it?

Execute the following command in the CLI: 

get_iplayer --refresh-exclude="BBC Three" --prefs-add

This will add the exclusion in your user options.

If you are trialing 2.95dev, the above isn't needed, 
because of commit git-ac6e830

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/ac6e830

Once 2.95 final is released, remember to remove above 
user option

get_iplayer --refresh-exclude="BBC Three" --prefs-del

'cause it'll be redundant!

None whatsoever - all BBC Three content is 
currently iPlayer Exclusive (on-line only), and as 
such it does not show up in the TV schedule feeds 
used to populate the tv.cache.
