BBC Broadcast has played out BBC Prime for the past eight years. Additionally, this contract renewal includes playout of BBC Food in Europe plus its creative services.
Wayne Dunsford, Director of Channels, EMEIA , BBC Worldwide, said: “The services of BBC Broadcast have been a key element of the success of BBC Prime over the past eight years. The roll-out across Europe of our new channel BBC Food will profit from this relationship.
