In addition to daily programmes, UN Radio produces approximately 1,200 features and documentaries a year, some of them award-winners at prestigious festivals around the world.
All programmes are available free of charge to broadcasting stations around the world.
As the UN membership grew during the past five decades, so did the outreach of UN Radio programmes. Initially news bulletins and feature programmes were broadcast via shortwave. Feature programmes are distributed by tapes and cassettes. UN Radio also uses the Internet to broadcast and transmit its programmes .
