Co-commissions (between two Independent Comapnies)
This section explains the closing sequence requirements for programmes made as co-commissions between two independent companies.

The BBC (or BBC THREE) logo must appear on the final card of all inhouse, independent and co-produced programmes. The final card may also include other information e.g. a programme producer's name or an independent production company identification

  • its logo
  • OR its name
  • OR its logo and name, where both are a combined single symbol.


    • How They Must Appear
    Where the above criteria are met, identification must appear (for each company) only as part of the final card together with the words "for BBC" in the corporate typeface and BBC corporate logo. Each company identification must:
