Research: Music Magazine Institution research: BBC Worldwide

To help me get a sense of what is expected on music magazines, I will research two media companies to analyse what they do. to begin with I chose to look at the company BBC worldwide.

BBC Worldwide Ltd. is the wholly owned commercial subsidiary of the BBC, formed out of a restructuring of its predecessor BBC Enterprises in 1995. The company monetises BBC brands, selling BBC and other British programming for broadcast abroad with the aim of supplementing the income received by the BBC through the licence fee.

It was set up in 1979 as BBC enterprise, but later became BBC worldwide in 1995. In the past seven years the company has invested over £1bn in the UK's creative sector making it a major supporter for this increasingly important part of the 'UK plc'. BBC Worldwide also sells programmes and formats produced by over 250 British independent producers. BBC Worldwide CEO Tim Davie is co-chair of UKTI's creative industries Sector Advisory Group, which is working to help grow creative industries exports and inward investment. UK creative businesses wanting to work internationally can find out more on UK Trade & Investment and the support it offers on the UKTI website.

BBC Worldwide continues to evolve what it does in the world of content. In addition to being a world-class distributor of scale, we are increasingly a significant and active creative partner, particularly on high-end, high-value projects.
