Using 22.7 million BB events recorded with the BABAR detector, the inclusive branching fractions for the production of J/{psi}, {psi}(2S) and {chi}{sub c} in B decays are presented. Combining the charmonium state with a K{sup {+-}}, K{sup 0}, K*{sup {+-}}, K*{sup 0} or {pi}{sup 0}, B decays are reconstructed exclusively and branching fractions are determined. A preliminary study is also presented for the B {yields} {eta}{sub c}K decay mode.
