  • In total, 50 indies will receive support across three dedicated schemes: the TV Small Indie Fund, the Hot House co-commissioning scheme and the BBC Radio & Music Indie Development Fund

The BBC has announced its commitment to support 50 independent production companies across the UK as part of its Small Indie Fund initiative, aimed at fostering growth and diversity in the creative sector. This initiative, which began in 2021, has now expanded to include companies from various regions such as Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and different parts of England. The fund provides financial backing to help these small indies develop new content, with the goal of increasing the representation of diverse voices and stories on television. The selected companies range from those producing drama, comedy, entertainment, to factual programming, thereby enriching the UK's broadcasting landscape with varied content. This move not only supports the creative economy but also aligns with the BBC's mission to reflect, represent, and serve all audiences across the UK.
