BBC World Service Television was the name given to the BBC's international satellite television channels between 1991 and 1995. In Europe, it was the name of the BBC's subscription-funded entertainment service, which replaced BBC TV Europe in April1991, while in Asia it was the name of the 24-hour news and information service, which launched in October, 1991.
In January, 1995, the news and information service was replaced by BBC World, and the subscription-funded entertainment service by BBC Prime.
Der BBCWorldService ist einer der angesehensten internationalen Hörfunksender.
Der BBCWorldService ist in Europa über einen Mittelwellensender auf der Frequenz 648 kHz zu empfangen, der in Droitwich stationiert ist.
In vielen Ländern der Welt ist der BBCWorldService das einzige Nachrichtenmedium, dem die Bevölkerung eine ehrliche und korrekte Berichterstattung zutraut, die nicht von der jeweiligen Regierung manipuliert oder kontrolliert wird.
The BBCWorldService is one of the most widely recognised international broadcasters of radio programming, transmitting in 43 languages to around 150 million people throughout the world.
Unlike the BBC's main radio and televisionservices, which are primarily funded by a licence fee, the WorldService is funded by the British Government through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, although it remains politically neutral.
The interval signal of the BBCWorldService in English is the Bow Bells, a recording made in 1926 (though only in use from the early 1940s), though this isn't used on all frequencies- some are silent until the start of broadcasts.
