Get Ready for More BBC Stations in the US

BBC Worldwide is to bow more TV channels in the U.S. in the next 12 months as part of its strategy to derive two thirds of its income from outside the U.K. by 2012. Revenue for Worldwide’s channel biz grew by 16.4% last year, from £225.6 million ($341.2 million) to £262.6 million ($396.9 million), according to the company’s annual report, published Monday. Profits for the division, which includes cable web BBC America, were £39.2 million ($59.2 million), up more than a third on the previous year’s £29.2 million ($44.1 million).
