BBC Radio World is a Radio owned and edited by the BBC from the UK. It differs from 'BBC World Service' radio in that its programming also includes original programmes created for music types and 1-hour simulcasts with BBC radio stations in the UK

History
The radio began its experimental broadcasts towards the end of 1996, and lasted for 10 months. It returned on 10 January 2001 and started its broadcasts permanently. In the attack on the twin towers on 11 September that year, radio devoted a four-day marathon to telling the story of the twin towers and the various hypotheses of what might have led to the historic attack. BBC Radio World is also known for its daily broadcasts that alternate between various types of music

The attempt to create continental feeds
In 2010, the BBC started experimenting with national feeds, which broadcast different programmes at different times depending on the state the listener was in. Three months later, the BBC suddenly ended these experiments without any explanation. Today it is possible to listen to BBC Radio World in 4 versions: Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas (with exclusive 2-hour programming between North and South America)
