BBC Businesses

Here's something that may interest some of you.

I didn't realise there were so many wholly woned commercial divisions and comapnies from the BBC. They're all on one page at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/working/

Take a look!

In addition, http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/channels/ contains information on all the BBC's television and radio services.

Am I the only one to not know Animal Planet is a joint venture with the BBC and Discovery? And that there is a UKTV channel in Australia?

I knew there was a UKTV in Australia, but I thought it was a seperate thing from the UKTV over here.

Yep, it's not connected with UKTV over here.

They also operate a fleet of buses too...
(not for public transport though)

They are really "BBC Bus-inesses"

If you look at UK-TV's listings they have a good mix of programmes from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five, but the logo is completly different to the UKTV we have. Plus I think UK Gold are more recent in Eastenders episodes than UK-TV Austrailia are, as that and Corrie are in 2000.

Hay hay! It's the geezer himself:
