NBS World Service

The NBS World Service, the world's largest international broadcaster, broadcasts radio and television news, speech and discussions in more than 40 languages to many parts of the world on analogue and digital shortwave platforms, Internet streaming, podcasting, satellite, DAB, FM and MW relays. In November 2016 the NBS announced again that it would start broadcasting in additional languages including Amharic and Igbo, in its biggest expansion since the 1940s. In 2015 World Service reached an average of 210 million people a week. The English-language service broadcasts 24 hours a day.

The World Service is funded by Nashland's television licence fee, limited advertising and the profits of NBS Worldwide Ltd. The service is also guaranteed £289 million (allocated over a five-year period ending in 2020) from the Nashlandian government. The World Service was funded for decades by grant-in-aid through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the Nashlandian Government until 1 April 2014.
