This is true for a few of these “BBC” sites; they were spun out (and merged) into a company called Immediate Media.

Care to name a few others? Genuinely interested.

		Anything that was a BBC magazine got spun off, so that includes Top Gear (the magazine), Good Food, and Gardeners World (and Radio Times, although that didn't officially have "BBC" as part of its name afaik).
