According to the BBC Press Office, here.

"BBC Group and YouTube today announced a new strategic partnership, focused on investments in new programming, collaborating to showcase more BBC moments that bring the UK together on YouTube, and upskilling the next generation of future creators and producers from across the UK."


More here from the BBC News Site.

And more from "Variety" here.

"Last week, the FT reported that the BBC would also be able to generate a profit from any partnership with YouTube by advertising on programs shown outside of the U.K. As a public service broadcaster, it does not earn money through advertising on home soil, instead charging a license fee to British audiences for access to its content."

And more from "Deadline" here. This includes some interesting statistics...."Under the agreement, the BBC will grow its number of YouTube channels to 50, which includes those operated by commercial arm, BBC Studios. New specialist channels will include BBC3’s Deepwatch (working title), featuring new and existing documentaries.

Seven children’s channels will also be launched, including The Epic Facts channel, which will bring together content from BBC series including Horrible Histories and Deadly 60. The BBC will also showcase “moments that bring the UK together” like the Winter Olympics."
