LBG World is the LBG's 24-hour international news and information television channel, launched in November 1957. Programming includes LBG News bulletins, documentaries, lifestyle programmes and interviews. Its main global competitors are CNN International, PINA, and PBC International.

The channel is transmitted from LBG World studios, part of the LBG Media Village in West Kensington. All news output originates from the nearby Television Centre where LBG World has a newsroom and studio separate from the rest of LBG News. This newsroom provides output from 0500-0030 Londinian Time each weekday and from 0600-0030 each weekend. The news output from 0100-0600 is from the studio of the domestic channel LBG News24.

Programming

LBG World produces much of its own programming.
