BBC

===Commercial divisions===
The BBC also operates a number of wholly owned commercial divisions:
* '''[[BBC Studios]]''' is the former in-house television production; Entertainment, Music & Events, Factual and Scripted (drama and comedy). Following a merger with [[BBC Worldwide]] in April 2018, it also operates international channels and sells programmes and merchandise in the UK and abroad to gain additional income that is returned to BBC programmes. It is kept separate from the corporation due to its commercial nature.
* '''[[BBC World News]]''' department is in charge of the production and distribution of its commercial global television channel. It works closely with the BBC News group, but is not governed by it, and shares the corporation's facilities and staff. It also works with BBC Studios, the channel's distributor.
* '''[[BBC Studioworks]]''' is also separate and officially owns and operates some of the BBC's studio facilities, such as the [[BBC Elstree Centre]], leasing them out to productions from within and outside of the corporation.<ref name="autogenerated2">[https://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/running/bbcstructure/ bbc.co.uk About The BBC section] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715004020/http://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/running/bbcstructure/ |date=15 July 2011 }}.
