BBC Magazines

BBC Magazines publishes over 50 popular consumer titles including Top Gear, Radio Times, BBC Good Food and Gardeners' World. We are the UK's fourth largest publisher in terms of circulation; but it is the third largest in terms of retail sales value (the money it puts through the tills) and we sold over 82 million copies in the past year, equal to 157 magazines per minute. We are also the UK's number one publisher for subscriptions (the UK publisher with the highest number of subscriptions to our titles).

BBC Magazines also has growing audiences round the world, with 43 licensed editions of its titles in over 55 territories. In addition, BBC Magazines has joint venture publishing partnerships in India (with the Times of India), and in Australia (with ACP).

You can find out more about subscribing to a BBC title on the BBC Magazines website.
