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

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