Obviously some of these are funded differently than the main BBC News world channel. But most people in the UK don't even know they exist!

Quote:The list of services to be expanded using the funding include enhanced TV services for Africa, new radio services for audiences in North Korea and radio and digital services for Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Details of which languages the BBC will broadcast in to Ethiopia and Eritrea will be announced later.
The BBC will also expand TV, radio and digital offerings in Somalia, India, Nigeria and Thailand.
A TV service will be added to the existing service for Somalia.
For Nigeria, a digital service will be started in Pidgin and Yoruba.
"Pidgin is a popular language among young people in Nigeria and across West Africa," said Liliane Landor, controller of languages at the World Service.
It will also help boost digital and TV services for Russian speakers, both in Russia and the surrounding communities.
This was in 2015 but I believe it all did happen and the funding was recently renewed.
okay thank you, and would these language services be broadcast out of the respective countries potentially? and be on local domestic terrestrial TV
