World Television Group is delighted to announce that the UK Government's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has announced its intention, subject to contract, to award the British Satellite News (BSN) contract to World Television.
This contract, expected to run from October 2005, is for three years with a further two year option period. There will be an uplift in value to fund additional news story production compared with the previous contract. World Television has been providing this service for BSN under a previous contract which expires on 30 September 2005. The new contract was won against strong competition from leading broadcast news providers following a demanding tender process. |

The BSN service provides daily news stories about Britain to around 440 broadcasters around the world, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It is one of the world's most successful public diplomacy news services.
Jon King, Group CEO, says 'This confirms World Television as one of the premier news producers in the world. We provide the highest quality editorial and technical service for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which meets their communication objectives and the needs of global broadcasters. Winning this major contract is testament to the talent, production excellence and hard work of our team. We look forward to the development of the BSN service in the future.'
