Luthori's public-owned television and radio network has today made an annoucement on the state of its global operations, while currently, only the LBC website is available to foreigners through a direct communication in their language, the national public broadcaster declared that a brand, new "World Service" network was to be established.

For the Luthorian public-owned TV and radio magnate, this move aims at the expansion of its viewership and readership base, through the implementation of new TV and radio channels in different languages, notably Egelian, Yeudi, Canrillaise and Istalian. As it stands, the LBC merely announced that it would "enter a series of negotiations with national regulatory authorities", with the stated goal being at opening the first non-Luthorian-based LBC television and radio channel by 5690.

The Luthorian Broadcasting Corporation promises that their new channels will be driven by "fact and not sensationalism" and that its broadcasting will be "locally-produced", they are stating that the LBC news broadcast would be "trying to be unbiased and factual" about the domestic and international developments happening worldwide. 

According to the LBC Chairman, Dr. Robert Singh (Vascanian-Luthorian), who himself pushed for the creation of a separate world service to report on world affairs for a foreign audience, this move was carefully prepared in advance, as discussions about the necessity of such an organisation raised eyebrows within the LBC. He, for his part, stated that the World cannot be excepted to be listening to international news from a Luthorian perspective and that it would be a "mistake" not to include other foreign point of views, which in his mind are tied to the creation of a specialised division of the LBC aimed directly at a goreign audience.

As of now, no real intel was shared on the location of the first LBC channels, the LBC withholding these announcement until the update to their website will be operational. For the LBC, the priority will be to provide a new form of information, providing a neutral and unbiased source of information for all, although the fact that this information will be treated from a Luthorian state-owned media raised doubts upon the network's integrity and truthfulness in matters related to the Luthorian Empire.

For Director Singh, these shouldn't be doubted at all. "We are aware of issues in the Luthorian Empire, we are covering these issues for our domestic audience to be aware of them, although we recognise that our coverage is far from perfect at all levels, we strive at providing the best information, one that isn't riddled with biases and partial in its coverage, that is our everleasting aim. And we are trying to reach that level of dilligence and excellence that is expected from home at home, I do not see a reason why not applying the rigourous standards that we are applying here at home to our foreign broadcasting network."

The state-owned media organisation will be, creating new small television channels in a selection of countries, while expanding its radio service and internet services throughout Terra. The new TV channels will be specifically designed to fit either a nation or an extended "compact of nations", basically, nations with a similar geographic and cultural status, here the LBC will aim at creating an expanded TV channel picking up news from numerous nations and broadcasting it to these said nations simultaneously. The Luthorian Broadcasting Corporation's new TV and radio channels are stated to be in the language of their country of broadcasting. It also opens doors for expansions of such channels into other nations that might share a common language as well.

The LBC also stated that, in line with this new policy, a wider international-minded TV channel will be broadcasted worldwide, with its main news programs being in Luthorian and speaking to a wider audience about international topics, tensions, finance and policies.
