History

BBC Worldwide was first founded in the year of 1995, In the 20th century BBC was very popular and had many departments of its own, some departments such as BBC profit were growing and expanding quickly but also had to deal with financial difficulties in the late 1960's.
In the year of 1979 BBC Worldwide was called BBC Enterprises LTD and by 1986 all of the commercial activities were part of BBC Enterprises LTD.
After a review of the BBC commercials in 2004 many changes were made, one which included that anything linked to BBC programs will only be shown in the UK.  BBC Worldwide's sales and profits were increasing in the 1990's and the early 2000's. Because of the review in 2004, their profits had decreased by a huge amount. Although after that specific year, the sales and profits kept rising with only a few downfalls.The decision of the production division was made in 2006.

Publications

-BBC GoodFood magazine



This music magazine is another one of BBC's productions.
It includes information about the writer "George Grove", classical music and a very old play called "Peer Gynt".
Seeing as the magazine involves such things that young people may not be interested in, the target audience is more likely to be adults or older people.
The magazine cover is also quite dull but has a big picture of Riccardo Chailly who is a famous Italian music conductor. This may intrigue older readers of Music magazine.






BBC Worldwide also has the magazine BBC Wildlife as one of their other productions.
This magazine is filled with lots of interesting information and facts about things such as British bird populations, UK winter wildlife experiences, why koalas are in crisis, about wolfs and much more.
The target audience for this magazine is for those who are interested in animals and "wildlife", it does not have a specific gender or age.
