Ofcom publishes BBC Studios assessment
APRIL 30, 2021 12.54 EUROPE/LONDON BY JULIAN CLOVER

Ofcom has published an assessment of BBC Studios’ ‘lines of business’.

It’s part of the regulator’s review into the relationship between public service broadcasting and BBC Studios.

“We consider BBC Studios’ reduction of its lines of business from five to two – which involved combining its production and distribution activities – is consistent with other production companies of a similar size and scope,” said the regulator in a statement.

Ofcom has concluded that the revised lines of business are appropriate.

BBC Studios was formed from the 2017 merger of the then BBC Studios and BBC Worldwide.
