EBG has three methods of expression. It is, above all, a television channel, broadcasting internationally. But it also has a website (news.ebg.co.eu), which includes both written articles and a continuous video feed, displaying the same as the television channel, along with hundreds of radio channels.

Television

EBG broadcasts 24 hours a day, and offers a 30 minute news update every hour. Every other half hour is used for in-depth coverage and analysis of current events and issues, and may for example be a report on culture in a particular country, analysis regarding environmental threats, a look at the evolution of social policies and their results in one or more countries, coverage of a specific cultural festival, a report on a trade embargo somewhere in the world, an in-depth look at how globalisation affects the world, a study of a specific branch of philosophy and its relevance in contemporary society, an analysis of political tensions in a particular part of the world...

Programmes may be in English, Arabic or Pacitalian. The news is usually read in English. Whenever one language is spoken, subtitles are provided in the other two languages. When a fourth language is spoken (usually by a person being interviewed), subtitles are in all three languages. In addition, many programmes broadcast into other nations feature that nations' primary languages
