Their services include 10 national TV channels plus regional programming, 10 national radio stations, 40 local radio stations and a website. The BBC's World Service broadcasts to the world on radio, on TV and online, providing news and information in 27 languages and world service English language.

BBC America

BBC America is an American television network that launched on March 29, 1998, broadcasting comedy, drama and lifestyle programs from BBC Television and other British television broadcasters like ITV and Channel 4. It is owned and operated by BBC Worldwide, and is available on both cable and satellite. Unlike the BBC's wholly owned domestic channels which are principally funded by a television licence fee, BBC America is a commercial station and as such carries advertising messages.
