How much does BBC News make on YouTube?
BBC News earns an estimated $19K–$88K a month from YouTube ads ($236K–$1.1M a year), from about 4.8M views a day. That's a Vid0 estimate from public numbers, not YouTube data.
Vid0 estimate from YouTube Data API views, updated 1 Nov 2026. 89% of recent upload views were Shorts.
How the estimate works
- Views a day: BBC News's total views grew by about 47.7M over the last 10 days of Vid0's daily readings, so about 4.8M a day across every video, old and new.
- Long-form vs Shorts: 89% of the views on its 12 latest uploads came from Shorts, so the same share of daily views is counted at the Shorts rate.
- RPM: $1–$5 per 1,000 long-form views and $0.03–$0.08 per 1,000 Shorts views. RPM is what a creator keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's share.
