NHK World TV joins Freesat

NHK World TV has launched on Freesat’s electronic programme guide today. The Japanese broadcaster’s English-language international news service will appear on channel 209, and will automatically appear on set top boxes and integrated digital TVs without the need for further action.

“Freesat is committed to expanding our international news and current affairs offering and NHK World TV represents yet another high quality channel, which provides viewers with access to a high quality news service from an interesting new viewpoint,” said Freesat managing director Emma Scott.
