Various print, radio, and television media are the principal vehicles used to implement the goals and objectives of the internal information program by providing all echelons of command a means to communicate with the Department's internal audience. These outlets schedule the programming to provide radio and television news, command information, sports and entertainment to over 1.5 million U.S. service members, DoD civilians and their families serving overseas or at sea where English language broadcast service is unavailable or inadequate.
