* BBC's fiscal year ends annually on March 31. Data for fiscal years before 2024 were published in earlier annual reports. ** The 2015/2016 and 2018/2019 annual reports offer no data for BBC ALBA. BBC Three ceased operations on February 16, 2016, and then the linear channel launched in February 2022, so lower content spend is presented for the year 2021/22.
