History[edit]
The first issue appeared in September 1992. BBC Worldwide, the commercial subsidiary of the BBC, was the original owner and publisher together with the Warner Music Enterprises during its initial phase.[2][3] Immediate Media Company has been the publisher since 2012.
BBC Music Magazine has also an edition in North America which was first published in March 1993.[3] The magazine reflects the broadcast output of BBC Radio 3, which is devoted primarily to classical music, but also broadcasts some jazz and world music. Each edition comes together with an audio CD, often including BBC recordings of full-length works. The magazine's circulation is 37,530.[1] Profits "are returned to the BBC".[4] The magazine features articles on subjects such as favourite conductors and trends in 21st-century classical music.[5]
Previous editors of BBC Music Magazine have included Helen Wallace and Oliver Condy. The current editor is Charlotte Smith, since January 2022.[6]
