BBC World is the
British Broadcasting Corporation's 24-hour international current affairs TV channel with news, documentaries, lifestyle programmes and interviews. It is basically a television equivalent of the
BBC World Service radio channel, although unlike the radio version it is partly funded by
commercials. Also unlike the radio version, it is not available in the
United Kingdom itself. However, some of its news bulletins are shared with
BBC News 24; these are simply identified as "BBC News" with no reference to either channel.
