Draft:World News (Japanese TV program)

World News (ワールドニュース) is a Japanese television news program which features news bulletins from around the world interpreted in Japanese and airs on the satelite channel NHK BS. The program airs in bilingual audio, meaning viewers can also watch the newscasts in its original language.

World News began as a segment in the news program  (Today's Sports and News), which ran from 1984 to 1986. It first aired on 27 December 1986 and was renamed World News Hour (ワールドニュースアワー) from 2000 to 2011. World News was replaced by World Wave from 2011 to 2014 which follows the same format. Many clips from the bulletins are used in  (Catch! The Global Top News), which mainly shows the main news stories from its broadcast partners. They even air in the segment "Wow! The World" in  (International News Report) and "Sekai no Media Zapping" in Ohayō Nippon.
