Double-digit
growth
for the third year running
This has been a year of notable growth and success for BBC Worldwide.
We continued to be a growing presence in millions of homes around
the world.
During the year, we sold 40,000 hours of BBC programming; extended
our global network of television channels to reach more than
460 million homes; sold 100 million magazines and around 30
million book, video, DVD, audio, music and multimedia products.

And
our high production values and on-screen talent continued to
delight audiences everywhere.
Against a background of global media recession in 2001/02, BBC
Worldwide grew sales from £587 million in 2000/01 to £660
million – an increase of 12% on the previous year and double-digit
growth for the third year running – marking us out as one
of the UK’s best-performing media companies. |
