Working with producers
How we commission and support the sector

We work with more producers, in more locations than any other UK broadcaster – and are always on the look-out for interesting new companies who can deliver enticing shows and help us meet our strategic goals. In 2024/2025 we worked with 301 production companies, with over 60% based outside of London.
