The first issue appeared in September 1992. BBC Worldwide, the commercial subsidiary of the BBC, was the original owner and publisher together with Warner Music Enterprises during its initial phase.[2][3] Immediate Media Company has been the publisher since 2012. Since March 1993 an edition of BBC Music Magazine has been published in North America.[3]

The content of the magazine reflects the broadcast output of BBC Radio 3, which is devoted primarily to classical music, but also broadcasts some jazz and world music. Each edition comes with an audio CD, often including BBC recordings of full-length works. The magazine features articles on subjects such as favourite conductors and trends in 21st-century classical music.[4]

The magazine's circulation was 37,530 as of 2008.[1] Profits "are returned to the BBC".[5]

Previous editors of the magazine have included Helen Wallace and Oliver Condy. Charlotte Smith has been its editor since January 2022.[6]
