Thanks for that, I know that the Beeb is the largest newsgathering org in the world... they should publish this fact more a la sky news 'we reach 80 million people' style on their titles... I think the Americans would give them more credibility (being so obsessed with size et al)

The BBC is a massive organisation spanning the world from what I can see. They can be broadly separated into these catergories : -
BBC Television
That's all of the BBC channels you see in the UK (BBC 1, 2, 3, 4, News 24 etc) and the BBC channels that are, strictly speaking only available abroad like BBC World, BBC America, BBC Food et al.
BBC Radio
That covers the national radio output (BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) which can be received on a normal radio set together with the digital stations such as 1Xtra, 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music et al. Also included is their worldwide radio station the BBC World Service.
BBC Newsgathering
A network of reporters around the world who erm...gather news and do reporting for the BBC. Nearly every country has a BBC correspondent I believe.
Broadcast bits aside, they also have these others as well...
BBC Broadcast & Resources
That covers the production and OB facilities that they use and hire out together with the costume stores, studios and post production.
BBC Worldwide
Their marketing arm. Responsible for those videos of the Teletubbies that are played ad nauseum in nurseries, playschools and the Early Learning Centre together with the merchandise as well like the OFAH videos and BBC mugs.
Others I have heard of but do not know what they do...
BBC Monitoring
BBC Technology
BBC Research & Development
Also I'm sure there are many that I have missed out. Feel free to add or correct some of the statements.
