The BBC World Service is the BBC’s international broadcaster, delivering a wide range of programmes and services on radio, TV, and digitally, globally.

It reaches a weekly audience of around 318 million people (BBC Global Audience Measure 2023) and is one of the UK’s most important cultural exports – informing and inspiring the lives of people across the globe, helping them make sense of the world we live in.

BBC World Service is funded primarily from the UK licence fee. In 2016 the UK Government awarded it a £291 million grant administered by UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), for a four-year programme of modernisation. In 2021, the FCDO provided £94.4m to help the BBC World Service build on its work upholding global democratic values through accurate, impartial and independent news reporting. This included £8 million in additional investment to tackle disinformation and further improve the BBC’s digital offer to audiences. In 2023, the UK government awarded the BBC World Service a one-off grant of £20m over two years (2023/24 and 2024/25) to further support the language services.
