BBC Magazines was a commercial subsidiary of BBC. They published magazines such as the 'Radio Times' and 'Country File' for the adultery audience, 'It's Hot' and 'Top of the Pops' were published for teenagers and then educational and pre-school magazines were for an even younger audience. This is a big advantage for BBC Magazines, as they include all demographic audiences and therefore open themselves to a whole variety of different people.
