BBC Worldwide


As it seeks to grow its business internationally, BBC Worldwide has identified three markets that have high growth potential. These markets are Asia, Central Europe, Middle East & Africa (CEMA) and Western Europe, and are collectively known within BBC Worldwide as Global Markets.
Each of these regions has teams running channels, sales, production and consumer product operations as well as identifying new business opportunities which can deliver new revenue streams and increased profits for BBC Worldwide.

Local sales teams work with broadcasters in the regions to sell finished programmes and formats from BBC Worldwide's extensive programming catalogue. Successes have included record-breaking audiences for Planet Earth II, the global success of War and Peace, the 2016 cinematic release of Sherlock: The Abominable Bride and the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special in 2013.

These markets also showcase the range of BBC-branded channels – BBC Brit, BBC Earth, BBC First BBC Entertainment, BBC Lifestyle, and pre-school brand CBeebies. The channels operation also accounts for the distribution of BBC World News.

Global Markets has fully owned production bases in India and France, a jointly-owned production company in Germany with All3Media known as Tower Productions, and a partnership in South Africa with Rapid Blue. These bases produce localised versions of some of the BBC’s best-known formats such as Strictly Come Dancing, Top Gear and Antiques Roadshow, as well as other well-loved British titles such The Great British Bake Off, The Great British Sewing Bee and Come Dine with Me.


They can afford to put more money into their budget so their pre-production can be more thorough, more well thought out and higher quality, therefore the production can run more smoothly and less chance of anything going wrong.

Sample assessment

1 (a) Identify two costs that Ian needs to consider when developing the 247Me app and explain how these costs impact on the project. One cost is hiring staff  because wages are a big expenditure of most businesses so having staff means more cost of wages and the more staff that are hired to help develop the app the more wages that need to be paid. Another cost is paying the local market research company to do the research for them. Although Ian will save time, he's adding to his costs by getting a company that will need to be paid to do the market research for him. (b) Identify one type of project management tool that Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it is suitable for this task. One type of project management tool Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks is an Excel spreadsheet because it is a good way to keep track of calculations and money coming in and out of the business. It is suitable for this task because they have limited fun

Technological Convergence

Technological Convergence When different types of technology meet to produce one converged product that can do everything. For example; a smartphone phone is used for calling, listening, using the internet, taking pictures and timing etc... Convergence technologies allows for a number of different types of products to come together to make one individual advanced product. For example a smart phone. Although from our grandparents point of view they would've had to purchase each individual product because they wouldn't have converged together to form one product yet. For example, technology of my grandparents era would have consisted of records or cassettes to listen to their favourite music and if they were lucky to have a TV they would have to watch a programme at a specific time as their was no recording unless they had a VHS.
