Should this be merged into NHK? -- Ortonmc 14:29, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * I think so -- Taku

PAGE MOVED per discussion below. It is now possible to start a new article at International broadcasting in Japan with a wider scope, as discussed below. As such, I left one redirect pointing at that page, while the NHK-specific redirects now point here. -GTBacchus(talk) 07:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Requested move
International broadcasting in Japan → NHK World — "NHK World" is the only existing "International broadcasting in Japan", and this article already talks about "NHK World" only. Endroit 15:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

 * ''Add any additional comments:

Comment: Does the comment "NHK is the only existing "International broadcasting in Japan" warrant a short stub article? The subject of International broadcasting in Japan shouldn't exclusively be NHK, like you say, so the way the article is now is misleading, but something like a disambig page functioning as a stub might make more sense. freshofftheufo  ΓΛĿЌ  17:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Let me point out that this article started out with contents about NHK World only, but with an apparently wrong title. The edit histories for this article should go into the NHK World article.
 * Having said that, I think it IS OK to start another article from scratch after that move is completed. Based on personal knowledge and ja:国際放送 (international broadcasting), some of the following MAY also qualify as "International broadcasting in Japan":
 * Fujisankei Communications International - Programming originates from Fuji TV of Japan, and targets Japanese audiences overseas, but the offices are in New York, not Japan.
 * Radio Nikkei / ja:日経ラジオ社 - These are shortwave radio broadcasts (the radio signals reach overseas), however the target is Japanese listeners in Japan, not international.
 * JJY / ja:JJY - These transmit primarily time signals (beeping noises), similar to WWV of the United States, and do not carry any broadcast programs in any language.
 * AFN-Japan / ja:AFN (formerly Far East Network) - These are U.S. military broadcast services, targeting U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan.
 * Shiokaze / ja:しおかぜ (放送) - These are propaganda programs targeting primarily Japanese abductees in North Korea.
 * Aum Shinrikyo - This Japanese doomsday cult had international broadcasts in its heyday, however there are no Wiki articles on this and it may be hard to find sources.
 * If you find at least one item in the above list which qualify as "International broadcasting in Japan", please comment, and we shall create a new article based on any info we have.--Endroit 19:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Technically none of those are international, though I agree that that point is a little open to interpretation. I think something like this, acting as a stub/disambig/redirect for the International broadcasting in Japan, would serve as appropriate content:

International broadcasting in Japan is generally limited to the signals generated by the government-owned NHK World, which broadcasts television and radio programs overseas. A few other institutions originally based in Japan have carried Japanese programming overseas, though these are very limited and are generally not considered to be "international" broadcasts.
 * Fujisankei Communications International. Programming originates from Fuji TV of Japan, and targets Japanese audiences overseas, though the offices are located in New York, not Japan.
 * Radio Nikkei / ja:日経ラジオ社. Shortwave radio broadcasts (the radio signals reach overseas), however the target is Japanese listeners in Japan.
 * JJY / ja:JJY. Transmits primarily time signals (beeping noises), similar to WWV of the United States, and do not carry any broadcast programs in any language.
 * AFN-Japan / ja:AFN (formerly Far East Network). U.S. military broadcast services, targeting U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan.
 * Shiokaze / ja:しおかぜ (放送) - Propaganda programs primarily targeting Japanese abductees in North Korea.


 * How's that? freshofftheufo  ΓΛĿЌ  04:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's a nice idea. It would be informative for the reader.--Endroit 14:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Studio location
Where are NHK World's studios located? --Abdull (talk) 02:00, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Laundry list of programs
following your revert of my deletion of the list, I have made two changes which I think cannot be disagreed with. However, I contend that this long list of non-notable programs is improper and the entire list should be deleted. Alternatively, we keep only the ones which have a blue link to the program itself, or perhaps one of the hosts. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 10:00, 12 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree that it is not really appropriate for a Wikipedia to list every single programme a station broadcasts (see WP:NOTTVGUIDE). The list should be limited to the notable programmes that are sourced and have their own Wikipedia articles. --DAJF (talk) 04:58, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Members of Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light was detained in the Turkish Bulgarian borders and persecuted, oppressed and prevented to pass through the borders by the Turkish authorities 110.159.168.152 (talk) 09:59, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

[KAPIKULE, TURKEY, May 24th, 9:00 GMT]- Over 100 members of The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, a persecuted religious minority, who have presented themselves at the Turkish-Bulgarian border claiming asylum this morning have just been refused entry, violently beaten, pushed back and taken to Edirne public safety office. Gunshots were fired at them, they were threatened and their belongings thrown away. The group includes women, children and elderly. The 103 individuals have been subjected to extreme and systematic forms of religious persecution all across Muslim-majority countries because of their faith. They had been beaten, imprisoned, kidnapped, humiliated and terrorized in countries like Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Azerbaijan and Thailand. They had gathered in Turkey and were on their way to the Turkish-Bulgarian border to assume their human right to request asylum directly from the Bulgarian Border Police, in line with the Article 58(4) of the Law on Asylum and Refugees (LAR), which states that asylum can be applied for with a verbal statement submitted in front of the border police. This comes after all attempts to obtain a visa on humanitarian grounds had been unsuccessful. Article 18 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights state that refugees have the right to asylum and to a full and fair individualised assessment with the right to appeal. The members of this religious minority have followed legal procedures in order to seek asylum as per internationally agreed upon human rights laws. Additionally, an open letter by the European Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) was sent on Tuesday, the 23rd of May, 2023, with human rights organizations signing their endorsement, urging for the protection of the group and that their right to claim asylum at the border be upheld, in accordance with international law.For Turkey to respond to this humanitarian refugee crisis in this manner is a breaking of internationally agreed upon human rights laws. This breaking of human rights laws by the Turkish Government is an outrage and an absolute travesty of justice. The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light is a 501c3 US based non-profit organization with Church status. Wedemand that our innocent members of this registered religion be granted their human right to asylum and sanctuary, that they be treated as lawful citizens who have committed no crime, and that they be released immediately from their detainment. 110.159.168.152 (talk) 10:12, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
