BBC Studios: Strengthening the BBC’s role in the creative industries

The BBC believes this proposal is the best way to keep delivering fantastic creative programmes for audiences and long-term value for licence fee payers.
BBC Studios will operate in the market, producing programmes for the BBC and other broadcasters in the UK and internationally, and returning all profits to the BBC Group. It will be committed to supporting the BBC’s public service mission and values, and will keep programme-making at the heart of the BBC, producing much loved titles such as Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders and Big Blue Live.

As part of these plans, the BBC is also proposing to remove its overall in-house guarantee of 50%, meaning that external producers would be able to compete for a much greater proportion of BBC network commissioning spend. The BBC believes this proposal is the best way to keep delivering fantastic creative programmes for audiences and long-term value for licence fee payers.

The purpose of this document is to provide more detail on our proposals and invite further dialogue with stakeholders.
