Radio BBC World Service

The BBC World Service is the world’s premier international broadcaster, renowned for its comprehensive coverage of global news. The service offers content in more than 40 languages, reaching an audience of approximately 210 million people weekly through a blend of television, radio, and online media. In a notable expansion, the broadcaster added languages such as Amharic and Igbo to its repertoire in 2016, underscoring its commitment to broadening its global reach.

In Singapore, the BBC World Service is accessible via two FM stations: the 24-hour broadcast on 88.9 FM and Singapore Media Corp Radio Singapore on 93.8 FM. These stations ensure that listeners in Singapore have round-the-clock access to the latest international news and discussions.

For those preferring digital access, the World Service offers two online-only streams, with one specifically focusing on news, enhancing accessibility and convenience for users who prefer to stay informed through online platforms. This ensures that the Singapore audience, along with global listeners, can easily connect with world events in real-time, using a medium that suits their lifestyle.
