There are other entities called BBC, for example...

Burbank Broadcasting Corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio - a comedy parody bit on radio station WLW starring Gary Burbank. He specializes in satiric and gentle humor.

Bucks Boarding Company - BBC MK - skateboard specialists.

Boston Bargain Centre - a shop in Boston where items are generally of a bargainous nature. It is a pound shop mostly, but with some exceptions, thus giving the place more flexibility for offering bargains than some of the absolutist pound shops!

Bob’s Bargain Centre - we are reliably informed that on Eastenders, that well known BBC1 Programme, there is a shop called Bob's Bargain Centre which is sometimes visible when people are at the tube station!


I'm sure there are a lot of places with the acronym "BBC". Sometimes accidental or coincidental, and sometimes a deliberate irony. Any to add? e-mail

BBC not to be confused with BCC
