Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, in how many media markets do (a) Russia Today, (b) Press TV and (c) BBC World broadcast for 24 hours.
We do not hold this information. Ofcom, as the UK’s audiovisual regulator, currently licenses BBC World News and Russia Today for the purposes of AVMSD but it does not collect this type of information either. According to BBC’s own audience measurement data, World News is available in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide and around 454 million households.
