Inside the Factory

BBC Studios is a commercial subsidiary of the BBC Group with sales of £2.1 billion (2021/22: £1.63 billion). Able to take an idea seamlessly from thought to screen and beyond, the business is built on two operating areas: the global Content Studio, which produces, invests and distributes content globally; and Channels & Streaming, with BBC-branded channels, services and joint ventures in the U.K. and internationally. Around 2,500 hours of award-winning British programs are made by the business every year, with over 80 percent of total BBC Studios revenues coming from non-BBC customers, including Discovery, Apple and Netflix.  Its content is internationally recognized across a broad range of genres and specialisms, with brands like Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars, Top Gear, the Planet series, Bluey and Doctor Who. BBC.com is BBC Studios’ global digital news platform, offering up-to-the-minute international news, in-depth analysis and features.
