The BBC is to launch its monthly Knowledge Magazine in the UK next month selling through subscription and the newsstand.
BBC Knowledge Magazine launched in the US and Canada in August 2008 and is now also published in four other territories – Brazil, Singapore, Bulgaria and Malaysia – with an Indian launch also in the pipeline.
From next month, the magazine will be published six times a year and be made available to subscribers – priced at £19.99 per year – and at selected WHSmith stores costing £3.99 per issue.
Andrew Davies, Publisher of BBC Knowledge Magazine, said: ‘BBC Knowledge Magazine is the ultimate magazine for those who are curious about the world around them – and beyond.
“The magazine’s primary commercial aim is to build a solid core of subscribers, offering readers the very best selected highlights from BBC Magazines’ specialist titles.”
The magazine will be edited by Paul McGuinness, who is also the editor of the US edition.
