'''Minority language broadcasting''' comprises radio and television programmes for both national (including [[Indigenous peoples|indigenous]]) and foreign [[Minority group|minorities]] in their respective [[Minority language|language]]s.

Under treaties like the [[European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages]] (Art. 11 and 7(1)d) states are obliged to encourage broadcasting in national minorities' languages.

{{Short description|1918–49 time zones used in Republic of China}}
{{unreferenced|date=January 2011}}
The '''time zones of China''' refer to the [[time zone]] divisions used in [[China]] between 1918 and 1949. The first time zone plan was proposed by the Central Observatory (now [[Beijing Ancient Observatory]]) of the [[Beiyang government]] in Peking ([[Beijing]]) in 1918. The proposal divided the country into five [[time zones]]: Kunlun ([[UTC+05:30]]), Sinkiang-Tibet ([[UTC+06:00]]), Kansu-Szechwan ([[UTC+07:00]]), Changhua ([[UTC+08:00]]) and Chinghai ([[UTC+08:30]]). These time zones were ratified in 1939 by the [[Nationalist government]] in the Standard Time Conference, hosted by the Ministry of Interior of [[Executive Yuan]]. Because of the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], it was also stated that Kansu-Szechwan time shall be the sole national time during the war time. After the war in 1945, these five times zones were implemented national widely. In 1949, after the [[Chinese Civil War]], the [[Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China (1949–1954)|Central People's Government]] abolished the five time zones and announced to use a single time zone [[UTC+08:00]] named ''Beijing Time'' ({{lang|zh-cn|北京时间}}). The term ''Changhua Standard Time'' ({{lang|zh-tw|中原標準時間}}) was still used by the [[Government of the Republic of China]] on [[Taiwan]] until the early 2000s.

The {{nihongo|'''Toyota Crown'''|トヨタ・クラウン|Toyota Kuraun|lead=yes}} is an [[automobile]] which has been produced by [[Toyota]] in Japan since 1955. It is primarily a line of [[mid-size luxury car]]s that is marketed as an upmarket offering in the Toyota lineup.

In North America, the first through fourth generations were offered from 1958 through 1972, being replaced by the [[Toyota Mark II (X10)|Corona Mark II]].<ref name=USA50>{{cite web|work=Toyota USA Automobile Museum|title=Timeline: Passenger Cars |url=http://www.toyota50th.com/history.htm| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140719111358/http://toyota50th.com/pdf/cars.pdf | archivedate=2014-07-19 }}</ref> The Crown nameplate returned to the North American market in 2022, when the sixteenth-generation model was released. The Crown has also been partially succeeded in export markets by its closely related sibling, the [[Lexus GS]], which since its debut in 1991 as the Toyota Aristo has always shared the Crown's platform and powertrain options. Later models of the GS and Crown have taken on a very strong aesthetic kinship through shared design cues.

In 2022, Toyota unveiled four different Crown models to replace the fifteenth-generation model. The first model that is available is the Crossover-type Crown, which is also marketed in North America as the sole Crown model. The remaining three models: Sedan, Sport, and Estate, will be released in 2023 and 2024 respectively, and will be available in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell powertrains depending on the model.

The Crown's history and reputation has given it prominence in the Toyota lineup, as it is one of the few current Toyota models to carry its own unique insignia for the model line with the current Crown having a stylized crown emblem on the grill and steering wheel along with inspiring the names of its smaller progenitors. The [[Toyota Corona|Corona]], introduced as a smaller companion to the Crown means "crown" in Latin and was initially exported as the "[[Tiara]]", while the [[Toyota Corolla|Corolla]] took its name from the ''[[wikt:corolla|corolla]]'' ("[[Corolla (headgear)|small crown]]") in Latin. The [[Toyota Camry|Camry]]'s name is derived from the Japanese word {{nihongo|''kanmuri''|冠, かんむり}} meaning "crown," and the [[Toyota Scepter|Scepter]] took its name from the ''[[sceptre]]'', an accessory to a crown. The [[Toyota Avalon|Avalon]] (the Crown's North American counterpart), while not named after a crown, is named after [[Avalon|a mythical island]] from the legends of [[King Arthur]]. In 1980, the [[Toyota Cresta]] was introduced to Japan only, and was based on the [[Toyota Mark II]]. 'Cresta' is Latin for a decorative, ceremonial feature added to the top of a helmet.

== History ==
[[File:Toyota Crown logo.svg|thumb|left|Toyota Crown logo used between 2003 and 2018.]]

Introduced in 1955 as the '''Toyopet Crown''', it has served as the mainstream sedan from Toyota in the Japanese market throughout its existence and holds the distinction of being one of the longest-running passenger-car nameplate affixed to any Toyota model. Its traditional competitors in Japan and Asia were the defunct [[Nissan Cedric]]/[[Nissan Gloria|Gloria]]/[[Nissan Fuga|Fuga]], [[Honda Legend]], [[Mazda Luce]], [[Isuzu Bellel]] and [[Mitsubishi Debonair]].

Formerly only available at [[Toyota Store]] dealers in Japan, the Crown has been popular for government usage, whether as a [[Law enforcement in Japan|police car]] or for transporting government officials. It has also been popular with Japanese companies as company cars along with use as a taxicab. While a base Crown was available for many years aimed at the taxicab market, the increasing opulence and price of the Crown line led to the creation of the [[Toyota Comfort|Comfort]] in 1995 as a more affordable alternative. Outside Japan, the larger [[Lexus LS]] took over the role of Toyota's flagship sedan in 1989 in the company's global lineup.

Toyota's "Discover Crown Spirit Project" is a program in which Japanese Toyota dealers fully restore instances of every generation of the Crown to show that even the oldest Crown still works.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://toyota.jp/information/campaign/discovercrown/?padid=ag341_from_crown_top_topics_discovercrown |title=Discover Crown spirit project スペシャルサイト {{!}} 歴代Crownをもう一度走らせよう |trans-title=Discover Crown spirit project special site {{!}} Let's run Crown once again |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |language=ja |access-date=2018-07-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180702064459/https://toyota.jp/information/campaign/discovercrown/?padid=ag341_from_crown_top_topics_discovercrown |archive-date=2018-07-02 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Having been in production since 1955, the Crown is Toyota's second longest running model nameplate in Japan after the [[Toyota Land Cruiser|Land Cruiser]], and seventh in the world after the [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class]] (1954), [[Chevrolet Corvette]] (1953), Land Cruiser and [[Nissan Patrol]] (both 1951), [[Volkswagen Transporter]] (1950), [[Ford F-Series]] (1947), and [[Chevrolet Suburban]] (1935).

== Exports ==

The Crown was first exported to the United States from 1958 to 1973 as the first model Toyota exported to the country.<ref name="USA50"/> In 1960, Toyota temporarily suspended exports to the region as the Crown was not capable of speeds needed on American freeways, before introducing an improved model.<ref name=":0" /> The Crown was also exported to Canada from 1964 to 1972, and Mexico from 1959 to 1964.<ref name=":75">{{cite web |title=Activities by Region: North America |work=75 years of TOYOTA |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/sales/activity/north_america/index.html |access-date=2022-09-07 |publisher=Toyota}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Activities by Region: Latin America |work=75 years of TOYOTA |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/sales/activity/latin_america/index.html |access-date=2022-09-07 |publisher=Toyota}}</ref>

Exports to Europe began in 1964 with the first cars going to Finland. Other European countries which saw early imports of the Crown included the Netherlands and Belgium. The United Kingdom was another European market until the early 1980s. Australia was another important export market for the Crown – to the extent that it was manufactured there from the mid-1960s until the late 1980s using many local components. It was discontinued when the [[button car plan]] was put into effect.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

Exports to New Zealand began in 1968 and local CKD kit assembly of the Deluxe sedan started in 1973 (under contract at Steel's Motor Assemblies in Christchurch alongside the Corona). The model was replaced in NZ assembly by the Cressida in 1979 though limited imports of Japanese assembled cars continued for several more years.{{cn|date=October 2023}}

The island nations of [[Aruba]] and [[Curaçao]] in the Southern Caribbean also imported the Crown starting from the second generation (S40) in 1965 in Curaçao up until importation of the tenth generation (S150). It was discontinued in 1998 due to the high price and low demand combined with the introduction of the [[Lexus GS]] series.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

In 2019, a small number of fifteenth-generation Crowns were exported to Indonesia for use as an official vehicle by cabinet ministers and other government officials.{{r|S220 Indonesia}}

The sixteenth-generation Crown that was introduced in 2022 will be exported to about 40 countries with an expected annual sales volume of around 200,000 units.<ref>{{cite news |last=Davis |first=River |date=2022-07-15 |title=Toyota Prepares to Release Iconic 'Crown' Cars in 40 Countries |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-15/toyota-prepares-to-release-iconic-crown-cars-in-40-countries |website=[[Bloomberg News|Bloomberg]] |publisher=[[Bloomberg L.P.]] |location=US |access-date=2022-09-16}}</ref>

The Crown was introduced in January 1955 in Japan to meet the demands of public transportation.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60004580/index.html |title=Toyopet Crown |publisher=Toyota |year=2012 |access-date=2023-10-16}}</ref><ref name="facm">{{cite web |url=http://www.facm.net/eng/col_10.htm |title=Toyopet Crown – the car which laid the foundation of today's prosperity |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070404102601/http://www.facm.net/eng/col_10.htm  |archive-date=2007-04-04}}</ref> The Crown was intended for private purchase, while the [[Toyopet Master|Master]] served in a commercial form as a taxi, both with the same 1.5 L [[Toyota R engine|Type R]] engine used on their previous car, the Toyopet [[Toyota Super|Super]]. The front doors open conventionally, and the rear doors are "[[suicide door]]s", a feature also utilized on the [[Toyota AA]], Toyota's first car. Small engine displacements were used to keep the vehicle affordable, as the Japanese government began to impose an [[Road tax#Japan|annual road tax]] to help develop and maintain a national transportation infrastructure in 1950. The appearance of the Crown shows some similarities with the European [[Ford Versailles (France)|Ford Versailles]] and [[Simca Vedette]]. The '''Toyota Patrol''' was a police car version of the 1955 Crown.

The Crown was much more popular than the Master due to the more compliant suspension of the Crown, and while the Master was intended for taxi service, the Crown was more accepted by the market over the Master, and more Crowns were sold into taxi service than the Master. The Crown was designed to replace the Super but Toyota was not sure if its independent front coil suspension and its suicide type rear doors were too radical for the taxi market to bear. So the Super was updated, renamed the [[Toyopet Master|Master]] and sold in tandem to the Crown, at ''[[Toyota Store]]'' locations. When sales of the Crown proved worthwhile, the Master was discontinued in November 1956 after being in production for only one year, and production facilities for the Master were transferred to the Crown.<ref name="first">{{cite book |title=Toyota: A history of the First 50 Years |year=1988 |pages=133, 135, 137 |publisher=Toyota |isbn=0-517-61777-3}}</ref> While the Master was discontinued the commercial vehicle based thereon, the '''Masterline''', continued to be offered (utilities, wagons and vans) until 1959.<ref name="1stthru3rdCrownTruck">{{cite web |title=Toyopet Crown pickup truck |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60015663B/index.html |website=75 Years of Toyota |publisher=Toyota Motor Corporation |access-date=10 June 2024}}</ref> A six-door wagon known as the [[Toyota Airport Limousine (1961)|Airport Limousine]] was shown as a concept car at the [[Tokyo Motor Show#1961|1961 Tokyo Motor Show]]. It did not go into production.

In December 1955, the Crown Deluxe (RSD) was introduced, a posher model equipped with a radio and heater as standard.<ref>''[[#GPPC|History Timeline of the Japanese automobile]]'', p. 69</ref> The initial RS model received a cosmetic update in 1958 to become the RS20, now with hooded headlights and a single-piece front windshield. In October 1959, Japan's first [[Diesel engine|diesel-engine]] passenger car, the Crown Diesel, was introduced. Its C-series engine only had {{convert|40|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>''[[#GPPC|History Timeline of the Japanese automobile]]'', p. 79</ref> In October 1960, the 1.5 L R engine was complemented by the larger 1.9 L (1,896 cc) [[Toyota R engine#3R|3R]] engine for a model called the RS30, originally only available in the Deluxe version. The 1900 was also available with the new two-speed Toyoglide automatic transmission.<ref>''[[#GPPC|History Timeline of the Japanese automobile]]'', p. 83</ref> In April 1961, a Crown Standard 1900 was added.

Its coil and double wishbone [[independent front suspension]]<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web |title=Technical Development - Chassis |website=75 Years of TOYOTA |url=http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/products_technology/technology_development/chassis/index.html}}</ref> was a departure from the leaf sprung [[beam axle]] front suspension used on most previous models but was similar to the independent front suspension used on the 1947 Toyopet [[Toyota SA|SA]]. The live axle rear suspension was similar to that used on most of the previous models (unlike the trailing arm rear suspension used on the SA). Taxi versions were produced and beginning in March 1959 commercial versions of the vehicle were also available, as an estate wagon and a three- or six-seat [[coupe utility]].<ref name="Trucks17-75">{{cite book |last=Ozeki |first=Kazuo |ref=1917-75 |script-title=ja:日本のトラック・バス 1917~1975 |trans-title=Japanese Trucks and Buses 1917-1975 |publisher=Miki Press |year=2007 |page=58 |location=Tokyo |language=ja |isbn=978-4-89522-487-1 }}</ref> These took over the "Toyopet Masterline" name in the Japanese domestic market, but usually received "Crown" badges in the export. The "Crown" name was previously in use by the [[Imperial (automobile)#Imperial Crown (1955–1965)|Imperial]] limousine manufactured by [[Chrysler]] in the early 1950s.

Toyota's first export to the United States began with 30 Crown Deluxes in June 1958 after establishing Toyota Motor Sales USA the previous October, the first directly managed retail dealer (Hollywood Toyota) the previous February, U.S. wholesale and import companies, and a parts warehouse in Long Beach.<ref name="toyotaglobal"/><ref name="toyotausamusempassengercartimeline">{{cite web|url=http://www.toyotausamuseum.com/history.htm|title=Toyota USA Museum Passenger Car Timeline|access-date=2014-01-31|date=2014-01-31|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131210101548/http://toyotausamuseum.com/history.htm|archive-date=2013-12-10}}</ref> Toyota also signs up 45 dealers to sell cars in its initial year, growing to 70 dealers by 1960 and 90 by 1962.<ref name="toyotausamusempassengercartimeline"/> In the effort to obtain certification from the California Highway Patrol for the sale of the Crown in California, Toyota shipped the cars without headlights and installed General Electric sourced sealed beam units upon arrival which met the required standard for brightness.<ref name="toyotaglobal"/>

For 1958, Toyota introduced the Crown in sedan form only (Standard and Deluxe) with a base price of {{USD|2187|year=1958|about=yes}}. Options included $94 AM radio and $75 whitewall tires.

For 1961, the Crown was being sold with the newer 3R engine and alongside the new smaller [[Toyota Corona#T20|Tiara]] model with the Crown's outgoing 1.5L engine. Only the Custom sedan and wagon were offered ($1,795 and $2,080 respectively). Total sales for 1961 reached only 225 units, trailing off to 74 for 1962, and finally 28 for 1963.<ref name="toyotausamusempassengercartimeline"/><ref name="Lassa"/> Total sales for the Toyopet Crown RS series in the United States is 2,240.<ref name="Lassa"/>

By the end of 1960, Toyota Motor Sales USA had accumulated 1.42 million dollars in losses from lackluster sales of the Crown. To prevent any further loss, all passenger car imports were suspended and new management structures were established to refocus all sales efforts on the Toyota Land Cruiser with profitability expected from selling 50 to 60 per month until the development of a new car suitable for the US market.<ref>{{cite web|title=Toyota's Entry into the United States: Passenger car exports suspended|url=http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/text/taking_on_the_automotive_business/chapter2/section9/item5_a.html|publisher=Toyota|access-date=2014-02-01}}</ref>

In November 2000, Toyota released the [[Toyota Origin|Origin]], a retro version of the RS series Crown to celebrate 100 million vehicles having been built in Japan.

Due to the introduction of the [[Toyota Corona|Corona]], the dramatically restyled and enlarged Series S40 was launched in 1962, and saw the introduction of the '''Custom''' model. The front grill approach has a similar appearance to the 1960 [[Imperial (automobile)#1960 (Series PY1-L,M,H)|Imperial Crown (Chrysler)]], which speaks to Toyota's aspirations that the Crown be a large, comfortable sedan. The station wagon body style carried over from the previous generation Masterline, but with more attention to the luxurious approach used on the Crown.

The stylized "crown" badge, affixed to the grille and hubcaps, first appeared with this generation.<ref name="ToyotaCrown1stthru11thJDMbrochures" />

Headlights were integrated within the boundaries of the greatly enlarged grill, providing a clean, modern appearance. A 2-speed automatic transmission was introduced, called Toyoglide, with a column shift. A bigger and better car than the previous S30 series, it initially had four-cylinder R-series engines before the addition of the "M" six-cylinder engine in 1965. '''Deluxe''' and '''Super Deluxe''' models were available with added features. The ladder frame chassis of the previous generation was replaced with an [[Vehicle frame#X-frame|X-frame]] to achieve a lower centre of gravity.<ref name=ToyCrownhist>{{cite web |url=https://mag.toyota.co.uk/history-of-the-toyota-crown/ |title=Toyota Crown – history of a living legend |first=Joe |last=Clifford |publisher=Toyota |location=UK |work=Toyota UK Magazine |date=2015-08-06 |access-date=2022-02-28}}</ref> The sedan and wagon were known simply as the Crown while the commercial vehicles (coupe utility, double cab coupe utility (pick ups), and van) were known as the '''Masterline'''. There was also a limited run of the sedan known as the Toyota Crown S (MS41S) which featured twin SU style carburettors on the 2.0L M in-line-six engine, sportier camshaft, sports instrumentation, sports suspension, four-speed floor shift, bucket seats, 14 inch wheels, disc brakes on the front and larger drum brakes in the rear.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

This Crown became the first Toyota to be exported to Europe, after the head of Denmark's Erla Auto Import A/S saw it at the Tokyo Motor Show. They brought in 190 of these subsequent to a May 1963 agreement.<ref name=Toy75hist>{{cite web |title=Item 4.

Some optional features include an automatic transmission for {{USD|160|year=1962|about=yes}} and a radio for {{USD|60|year=1962|about=yes}}.

A two-door [[Toyota Crown Convertible|Crown Convertible]] was displayed at the [[Tokyo Motor Show#1963|1963 Tokyo Motor Show]], based on the Crown 1900 sedan. It was not put into production.

This Crown generation was the first to be assembled in Australia, from [[Complete knock down|CKD]] kits, by [[Australian Motor Industries|AMI]] in Port Melbourne, with significant local content. AMI, which assembled numerous brands including Triumph and, for a short time, Mercedes-Benz, was to become the basis of Toyota's current Australian manufacturing operation.

The longer, wider, and more upmarket '''Crown Eight''' was introduced in 1964 for the Japanese market, powered by a 2.6 L V8 engine. However, it had a different model designation, G10 (VG10 when fitted by 2.6 L ''V'' engine).<ref name="CrownEight">{{cite web |title=Toyota Crown Eight |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60005913/index.html |website=75 years of Toyota |publisher=Toyota Motor Corporation |access-date=4 June 2024}}</ref> The car was first introduced at the [[Tokyo Motor Show#1963|1963 Tokyo Motor Show]] and introduced for sale on April 20, 1964, nine days before [[Emperor Showa]]'s birthday and the beginning of [[Golden Week (Japan)|Golden Week]] in Japan. While it was essentially a wider S40 Crown, it was branded as a "Toyota" and not "Toyopet".<ref name="CrownEight"/>

The Toyota Crown Eight was a significant project for Toyota, developed and assembled by their subcontracting company, Kanto Auto Works. Toyota delegated the production to Kanto Auto Works due to the Crown Eight's unique components, which could have hindered mass-production operations at the Motomachi plant. Despite its production volume of approximately 1,000 cars per year, the Crown Eight's impact on Toyota products paved the way for future innovations and designs.

The Crown Eight was designed to replace full-sized American automobiles commonly used by major corporations. The Crown Eight represents the first Japanese mass-produced vehicle with an 8-cylinder engine. The main rivals at the time were the [[Nissan Gloria#S40|Prince Grand Gloria]], [[Mitsubishi Debonair]], and [[Nissan Cedric#Cedric Special 50|Nissan Cedric Special]], all equipped with a six-cylinder engine. It was the first Crown to exceed [[Vehicle size class#Japan|vehicle size classification regulations]] in length, width, and engine displacement capacity. The width at {{convert|1845|mm|in||abbr=on}} compares to the [[Toyota Century|Century]] at {{convert|1890|mm|in||abbr=on}}. The width was so that the front and rear bench seats, upholstered in silk brocade, could accommodate six passengers. The front seat could be electrically adjusted in six directions, and the front seatback could be reclined horizontally to be flat to the rear seat, while the rear seat included a center folding armrest.<ref name="CrownEight"/>

The Crown Eight was considered as a possible submission for use by the Japanese [[Imperial Household Agency]] as a car to be used by senior members of the [[Imperial House of Japan]], but it lost out to the [[Nissan Prince Royal]]. The Crown Eight was replaced in 1967 by the Century VG20. Approx 3,800 Crown Eights were produced. Some of the items that were exclusive to the Crown Eight were [[climate control]], [[automatic headlamp]]s, electrically powered windows, electric [[cruise control]], and a two-speed "Toyoglide" automatic transmission.<ref name="CrownEight"/> [[Vent window]]s were installed on all doors, separate from the side windows, and could be opened or closed electrically.<ref name="CrownEight"/> The front and rear door latches were electromagnetic and installed on the Crown Eight successor, the Century. Unlike a conventional door handle, the door latch would release by touching the interior switch.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gazoo.com/meishakan/meisha/pdf/777.pdf |title=World Celebrated Car File: 1964 Toyota Crown Eight |language=ja |publisher=Toyota |work=Gazoo.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070308114531/http://gazoo.com/meishakan/meisha/pdf/777.pdf |archive-date=2007-03-08 }}</ref> The front suspension used a double wishbone suspension with coil springs and the rear used a trailing arm suspension with coil springs, with shock absorbers for all wheels.<ref name="CrownEight"/> The Crown Eight was available in four exterior colors: Royal Bronze Metallic, Sherwood Olive Metallic, Black, and Victoria Blue Metallic.<ref name="CrownEight"/>

Launched in 1967, the mechanicals were much the same as the previous generation, but additional equipment was included. The X-frame chassis of the S40 series was now dropped in favour of a [[Vehicle frame#Perimeter frame|perimeter frame]] that improved collision protection for passengers; this chassis design would remain in use until 1999 when the S130-series wagons were superseded by the [[Vehicle frame#Unibody|unibody]] S170-series Estates.{{r|ToyCrownhist}} Higher specification models used the 2.0-liter M engine or the 2.3-liter 2M engine shared with the [[Toyota 2000GT]] sports coupe. A premium level Super Saloon joined the Super Deluxe model, and was available with the 2M engine including twin carburettors, electric windows, rear seat radio controls, air conditioning and luxury fabric on the seating including the Crown logo embossed into the vinyl. Lower specified models were equipped with the [[Toyota R engine|R-series]] four-cylinder engines. Crown vehicles meant for commercial use had received the '''Masterline''' nameplate until the introduction of this generation; they were now badged "Crown" as well. However, this generation was the last to be offered in an entire line of commercials - from the next generation on, the only commercial-use model available was the Crown Van, whose bodywork was also used for the Wagon models. Crown Double-Cab pickups were produced by the former Central Motor Co., Ltd. until December 1970.<ref name = "75 Years of Toyota, Toyota Motor East Japan"/>

When the 1967 S50 series Crown was introduced to Japan, television commercials used Japanese actor [[Satoshi Yamamura]], who among his many roles on stage, movie, and television, portrayed [[Japanese Combined Fleet|Fleet Admiral]] [[Isoroku Yamamoto]] in the 1970s movie ''[[Tora! Tora! Tora!]]'' Yamamura would serve as the Crown spokesman for 16 years, introducing subsequent new generations of Crown products until 1983.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}}

The Crown range now included the four-door station wagon, pick-up (rare), double cab pick-up (very rare), and in October 1968, the new two-door [[Hardtop Coupe|hardtop]] "[[personal luxury car]]."

In September 1968 the option of power steering was added.<ref name=SSB142>{{cite web | ref = Shashi | url = https://shashi.shibusawa.or.jp/details_nenpyo.php?sid=6680&query=&class=&d=all&page=142 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201025051008/https://shashi.shibusawa.or.jp/details_nenpyo.php?sid=6680&query=&class=&d=all&page=142 | archive-date = 2020-10-25 | publisher = Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Foundation | work = Shibusawa Shashi Database | language = ja |script-title =ja:トヨタ自動車販売(株)『モータリゼーションとともに. 資料』(1970.11) | trans-title = Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd.

Crowns that were equipped with the 2,253 cc 2M engine were no longer classified as compact cars under Japanese [[Vehicle size class#Japan|vehicle size classification regulations]], even though the length and width were still in compliance. Toyota offered the larger engine so that buyers who were traditionally served by the Crown could now choose the all-new [[Toyota Corona Mark II#T60|Corona Mark II]] in 1968. This allowed Toyota to reposition the Crown as the top level privately available luxury sedan, with much nicer interior treatments, more spacious accommodations. This was the last generation for the pick-up versions of the Crown, as load carrying was ceded to the new [[Toyota Hilux (N10)|Toyota Hilux]] in February 1971.

Australian market models were assembled in Australia by [[Australian Motor Industries]].<ref name=Murrell>{{cite web |url=http://www.ccar.com.au/html/articles/everyday_classic/guidemay05.html |first=Paul |last=Murrell |title=1976 Toyota Crown - Royal Flush |work=Australian Classic Car |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019145423/http://www.ccar.com.au/html/articles/everyday_classic/guidemay05.html |archive-date=2013-10-19}}</ref> The two-door ute was also assembled in Australia, but not the coupé model.<ref name=CC11/> This generation was imported fully assembled into New Zealand from 1968 to 1971.{{citation needed|date=May 2011}}

This generation was still sold in the United States; 1970 was the most successful year for the nameplate in the US with 6,528 being sold.<ref name=USA50/>

Notable features on the Crown Wagon were:
* 7- or 8-passenger seating (two on front buckets or three on a bench seat, three on a rear bench seat, and two on a fold up cargo seat),
* a powered rear window,
* a side-swing tailgate.

Launched in February 1971 for the Japanese Domestic Market, the fourth generation Crown was available in ascending trim levels, including Deluxe, Super Deluxe and Super Saloon.<ref name="CrownHardtop4ththru6th">{{cite web |title=Toyota Crown Hardtop 4th thru 6th |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60004935/index.html |website=75 years of Toyota |publisher=Toyota Motor Corporation |access-date=10 June 2024}}</ref> Another trim, Royal Saloon, introduced with the Crown's 1973 facelift, added luxury features from the [[Toyota Century|Century]] limousine. The first two model years of the fourth generation Crown were marketed in North America; subsequently replaced by the [[Toyota Mark II (X10)|Corona Mark II]].

The 4M 2600 engine was introduced, with the 2.0-liter 5R [[inline-four engine]] and the 2.0-liter M [[Straight-six engine|six-cylinder]] engine also available. As for the previous generation, the M-C engine (in Japanese specifications) has {{convert|105|PS|kW bhp|abbr=on}}, while the 5R's output increased somewhat to {{convert|98|PS|kW bhp|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Toy75th>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota.co.jp/jpn/company/history/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60004950B/index.html |script-title=ja:4代目クラウンバン |trans-title=4th generation Crown Van |work=トヨタ自動車75年史 [75 years of Toyota history] |language=ja |publisher=Toyota }}</ref><ref name=toycomm>{{citation |script-title=ja:愛される車づくり。トヨタはあすにいどみます。|trans-title=Lovable car manufacture.

The Utility Wagon was a body style between commercial and passenger car, and carried chassis codes MS67V until the early 1973 facelift when it was replaced by the MS68V with the 2.6 engine.<ref name=VIMp82>{{citation |title=Toyota Vehicle Identification Manual |publisher=Toyota |year=1979 |page=82 |id=97911-79 |url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~stepho/manuals/Toyota/IdManualExport1979/p082Crown.jpg}}</ref>

While previous generations of the Crown had been marketed under the Toyopet brand, the fourth-generation model was the first version to be officially marketed worldwide as the Toyota Crown.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://blog.toyota.co.uk/history-of-the-toyota-crown |title=History of the Toyota Crown |publisher=Toyota (GB) |date=2015-08-06 |access-date=2020-03-01}}</ref>

The Sedan and Wagon (Custom) were coded RS60/MS60/MS64/MS65 and MS62/MS63, while the Van was coded MS66V with the two liter "six". The Hardtop Coupé is MS70 (2.0-liter), or MS75 (2.6-liter). The Japanese market Crown Custom (Wagon) was classified as a seven-seater.<ref name=toycomm/> This generation was the first Crown marketed as a Toyota in Japan, as previous models were marketed as Toyopets. Also, in Japan, this model was known as the "[[whale]]" or "kujira" Crown.

In 1973, Japanese television commercials introduced Japanese actress [[Sayuri Yoshinaga]] as a co-spokeswoman, joining Satoshi Yamamura, and together they appeared in commercials until 1983.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}}

Crown's for the Japanese Domestic Market Hardtop featured rectangular [[halogen]] headlights, and export models featured twin round headlights. All models featured flush bumpers, marketed by Toyota as "[[wikt:fusiform|spindle-shaped]]."<ref>{{cite web|last=Niedermeyer|first=Paul|date=2020-10-13|title=Vintage R&T Review: 1972 Toyota Crown 2600 (S60) – There's Some Very Good Reasons The Crown Failed In The US|url=https://www.curbsideclassic.com/vintage-reviews/vintage-rt-review-1972-toyota-crown-2600-s60-theres-some-very-good-reasons-the-crown-failed-in-the-us/|access-date=2022-09-07|website=Curbside Classic|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=Toy75th/>

The trunk could be opened remotely by turning the ignition key to the far left, and a floor-mounted button engaged the radio's signal seeking feature. A separate signal seeking feature was installed for rear seat passengers, installed behind the front seat facing the rear seat compartment. The 60-series Crown received a facelift in January 1973.<ref name=VIMp82/>

Australian models were assembled in Australia by [[Australian Motor Industries|AMI]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/sales/activity/oceania/index.html|title=Activities by Region – Oceania |publisher=Toyota |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230325171204/https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/sales/activity/oceania/index.html |archive-date=2023-03-25}}</ref> It was available in New Zealand fully imported from 1971 to 1973, with local assembly beginning at Steels Motor Assemblies, who also built the Corona, not long before the mid-life facelift, improving availability.

Launched in 1974 in Japan, export began in 1975. It was offered as a four-door sedan, two-door hardtop coupe, four-door hardtop sedan, wagon, and van. Engines are 2.0- and 2.6-liter gasoline. The 2.2-liter diesel was introduced in October 1977.<ref name=Catvol25>{{cite book |ref=JAMA25 |title=自動車ガイドブック [Japanese Motor Vehicles Guide Book] |language=ja |volume=25 |date=1978-10-10 |publisher=[[Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association]] |location=Japan |page=109 |id=0053-780025-3400}}</ref> Trim levels are Standard, Deluxe, Super Saloon, and Royal Saloon. The all-new [[Pillar (car)|pillared hardtop]] with the Royal Saloon trim package was the most exclusive Crown and was an alternative to the [[Nissan Cedric#230|Nissan Cedric]] and [[Nissan Gloria#230|Nissan Gloria]], the traditional cross-town rival, while both the Cedric and Gloria were offered as genuine hardtop sedans beginning August 1972. This was the last series to offer a one-piece front bench seat; consecutive series offered a split front bench.<ref name="Toy75th" />

[[File:1976 Toyota Crown Super Deluxe rear.jpg|thumb|left|Pre-facelift Toyota Crown Super Deluxe Sedan (Japan)]]

The Royal Saloon came in a longer body length, coupled with the 2.6 L engine, while lower trim levels were in the shorter body style and 2.0 L engines. Export models used the same body, whether the two-liter 5R four-cylinder or the 2.6-liter 4M inline-six. In Europe, these models claimed {{convert|87|and|112|PS|0|abbr=on}} respectively.<ref name=Moniteur>{{cite magazine |ref=PdL |magazine=Le Moniteur de l'Automobile |page=65 |title=La cote officielle de voitures des l'occasion |trans-title=Official used car prices |editor-last=Visart |editor-first=Etienne |location=Brussels, Belgium |language=fr |volume=33 |number=770 |date=1983-06-02 |publisher=Editions Auto-Magazine}}</ref>

[[File:1979 Toyota Crown 2600 Super Saloon Automatic.jpg|thumb|left|Facelift model Crown 2600 Super Saloon (Europe)]]
Minor change was given in 1978. This version of the Crown saw the introduction of disc brakes at both the front and rear axles with anti-lock brakes, speed sensitive power steering, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Originally, sedans and wagons had S80-series chassis numbers, while the two- and four-door hardtops received the S90-series chassis numbers. After 1976 and concurrent with the introduction of new stricter emissions regulations, all Japanese market Crowns used S100-series chassis numbers. Export models continued to use the previous codes.<ref name=Hajek1>{{cite web |title=Toyota Crown S8/S9/S10 |url=http://www.toyotaoldies.de/gals8.html |website=Toyotaoldies.de |last=Hajek |first=Alexander |access-date=2013-08-24}}</ref>

Initially available with the "old style" 4M engine with a rounded valve cover, later models switched to the new 4M engine with a rectangular valve cover. This generation also saw the introduction of fuel injection on both the 2.6-liter 4M and the 2.0-liter M engines, coupled with Toyota's [[Toyota TTC|TTC-C]] technology, adding a [[catalytic converter]] to the exhaust system. The emissions-controlling technology badge helped identify which vehicles had reduced emissions tax liability. Select models with four-wheel disc brakes and twin-piston calipers on the front brakes were also available. The models installed with the diesel engine were exclusive to ''[[Toyota Diesel Store]]'' locations.

The Hardtop Sedan model has a front chrome grill and square headlights, but was no longer considered a true hardtop, due to the inclusion of a [[pillar (car)|"B" pillar]]. The styling differences between the hardtop and sedan four-door models was that the side windows on the hardtop were frameless, and the rear window was sloped more than the formal appearing sedan. This series Crown in the Royal Saloon trim package exceeded length regulations of 4.7 m set forth by [[Vehicle size class#Japan|Japanese regulations]] by 65 mm, but Toyota continued to offer a 2.0 L engine in a shorter vehicle for buyers who were looking for better fuel economy over the larger six-cylinder engines, and reduced [[Road tax#Japan|road tax]] liability.

New Zealand models were assembled in New Zealand but on an [[Semi Knocked Down|SKD]] basis - which meant it had more Japanese content (such as glass) than earlier [[Complete knock down|CKD]] versions. It was the last Crown built in New Zealand and was replaced in 1979 by the [[Toyota Cressida|Cressida]] (Mark II), which was available with a four-cylinder engine. The oil crises of 1973/4 and 1979/80 had led the government to impose a 60 percent sales tax on larger engines, and the Crown could no longer be priced to suit its market.{{citation needed|date=May 2011}} This generation Crown was locally assembled in Australia<ref>{{cite news |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/110910334?searchTerm=Toyota%20Crown |title=New Toyota Crown released |newspaper= The Canberra Times |location=Australia |page=14 |date=1978-09-19 |via=Trove}}</ref> (except for the imported "Super Saloon" trim), and only available with the largest 2.6-liter six-cylinder engine. It was never a strong seller in Australia, offering less performance and roadholding than the domestic competitors from Ford and Holden.<ref name=Whatcar>{{cite book |title=What car is that? : in Australia & New Zealand |editor-last=Boyce |editor-first=David |ref=DB1 | year=1981 |publisher=Rigby |location=Adelaide, Australia |page=176 |isbn=0727014803}}</ref>

Launched in 1979, this model had the engine upgraded from the 2.6 L to 2.8 L 5M-EU model. The 2-liter M was still on offer along with a [[turbocharger|turbocharged]] version – the M-TEU. The carbureted 5M engine was also available in certain markets. In this series the model designation referred to the engine size – MS110 (2-liter), MS111 (2.6-liter), MS112 (2.8-liter). This was the last generation to install a four-cylinder, gasoline-powered engine. This model was the first generation Crown to be sold in Germany, beginning in 1980.<ref name=Hajek1/> The fuel injected 2.8 developed {{convert|145|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} in European trim, while the 2.2 diesel offered {{convert|66|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} and a choice of five-speed manual or an automatic (not in the Station Wagon).<ref name=AG109>{{cite magazine |ref=AG109 |magazine=De AutoGids |number=109 |volume=4 |page=12 |title=Referendum van de eigenaars: Toyota Crown Diesel |trans-title=Owner referendum |last=Renaux |first=Jean-Jacques |language=nl-be |date=1983-11-24 |publisher=Uitgeverij Auto-Magazine |location=Brussels, Belgium }}</ref> European sales started out at a respectable level, but with prices increasing at an alarming rate due to the appreciation of the yen, sales had dropped drastically by 1982.<ref name=AGp13>[[#AG109|Renaux]], p. 13</ref>

Early models have twin rectangular headlights, while facelift models come with bigger monoblock headlights. Domestic market Royal Saloons use the large rectangular headlights. Lower grades Van and Taxi models adopted round headlights. Royal Saloon features longer bumpers and bigger engines, which were placed in a larger [[Road tax#Japan|road tax]] classification according to Japanese government [[Vehicle size class#Japan|dimension regulations]]. The first Crown '''Turbo''' was launched in October 1980 for Japanese market only. Offering the 2.0 L engines was for buyers who didn't want to pay the large car tax, while offering better fuel economy than the larger engines. The turbo also provided a benefit in increasing fuel efficiency while reducing tailpipe emissions as Japanese consumers pay a tax on the amount of regulated substances being sent into the atmosphere from a Japanese law passed in the 1970s.

In some export markets, such as Southeast Asia, the larger six-cylinder engines came fitted with carburettors. In those specs, the 2.6 offered {{convert|110|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} SAE net while the 2.8 claimed {{convert|128|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} DIN or 120 SAE net.<ref>{{cite magazine | magazine = Andalan | title = Perubahan-perubahan Toyota Crown, dari MS. 111 ke MS. 112 | trans-title = Toyota Crown changes, from MS 111 to MS 112 | language = id | date = June 1981 | volume = I | number = 3 | pages = 6–7 | publisher = PT New Ratna Motor }}</ref> Sales in Indonesia were low and this generation was not replaced there in 1984, when the 120-series Crown appeared.<ref name=motor80>{{cite magazine | magazine = Motor80 | language = id | title = Loncatan Kijang | trans-title = Kijang climbs | page = 58 | volume = IV | number = 1 | date = 1984-01-01 | publisher = PT Blora Mulya | last = B.J. | first = Zulkifli }}</ref>

This generation is the last for the two-door hardtop coupé bodystyle, which was replaced by the [[Toyota Soarer|Soarer]]. Reflecting a popular styling appearance during the 1970s, the coupé was fitted with a padded vinyl roof and "[[opera window]]s" for a luxurious appearance. Some of the options that became available were an [[Magnetometer|Electronic compass]], glass [[moon roof]], power drivers seat, cruise control, electronic stereo tuner, and two-tone paint. [[Automatic climate control]] also appeared on this vehicle with separate controls installed for rear seat passengers as well as a rear-mounted mini [[refrigerator|fridge]] cooled by the separate rear seat air conditioning unit. The 2.4-liter turbo-diesel appeared in August 1982.

Launched in 1983, this model used all three versions of the 5M 2.8L engine: the carburetted 5M version, the [[single overhead cam]] (SOHC) multi-point fuel-injected 5M-E version, and the [[double overhead cam]] (DOHC) 5M-GE. Other engines included the 1G-GE 2.0L DOHC, M-TE 2.0L [[single overhead cam]] (SOHC) Turbo, M-E 2.0L SOHC, 2L-TE 2.4L SOHC Turbo Diesel Ceramics Power or 2.4L SOHC Diesel Ceramics Power engines. All 2.0 L engines were installed with [[T-VIS]] (Toyota Variable Induction System). In September 1985, a supercharged version of the 2-liter G-series six replaced the turbocharged M-series.

Base versions use the new 2-liter 1G-E engine which replaced the old 2-liter version of the M series. The Japanese market "van" version of the station wagon (the GS126V as well as the GS136V in the following series) used its own unique variant of this motor which took advantage of laxer emissions standards for commercial vehicles (the 1G-EJ). In Japan, taxi and commercial versions were also available with an LPG-powered four-cylinder engine (the 3Y) which was even offered with a three-speed, [[Gear stick|column-shifted]] manual. A gasoline-fueled version of this engine was available in some European and "general" export markets.

The lower-grade models were available with Toyota's F292 live axle rear suspension while the rest introduced 4-wheel independent suspension branded as PEGASUS (Precision Engineered Geometrically Advanced Suspension) on the Crown for the first time, with [[Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension|TEMS]] installed on the Royal Saloon sedan and hardtops, coupled with Toyota's ECT electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission, and 4ESC anti-lock brakes.

The S120 was available in Hardtop sedan (frameless door glass), sedan and wagon versions but in two different exterior dimensions for length and width, with the Royal Saloon hardtop and sedan only offered in the larger body.

The top-trim package was called the Royal Saloon, followed by Super Saloon Extra, Super Select for hardtop bodystyles, followed by the Royal Saloon sedan, Super Saloon Extra sedan, and the wagon came only as Super Saloon Extra.

The Super Saloon Extra and Royal Saloon versions were packed with features such as dual-zone climate control, AM/FM cassette stereo with six acoustically matched speakers, combined with a separate rear cassette stereo with headphones, with dashboard-installed integrated CD player, and separate A/C and stereo control buttons installed in the rear armrest, parcel shelf mounted refrigerator, [[automatic headlight]]s, reading lamps for all outboard seating positions, electrically adjusted tilt and telescoping steering column combined with a steering wheel and seat memory feature, glovebox mounted courtesy mirror among many things, while the slightly lower trim package Super Select was more modestly equipped.

One distinctive styling feature of this generation was the use of a clear panel with patterned backing for the C-pillar trim on the sedans. For the Japanese market only, Toyota made the {{convert|190|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} Twincam 12-valve 3.0-liter 6M-GE available on the Royal Saloon for the mid-cycle update. This engine is a popular swap for 5M-GE powered [[Toyota Supra (A60)|Supras]] and [[Toyota Cressida (X70)|Cressidas]] of the same period.

This was the last generation Crown to be commonly available in European markets. The fuel injected 2.8-liter engine in European trim produces {{convert|170|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 5600 rpm and had identical specifications to the Supra sold there at the time.<ref name=TM585>{{cite magazine | magazine = Tekniikan Maailma | ref = TM | date = 1985-03-19 | number = 5/85 | volume = 41 | issn = 0355-4287 | title = Autotieto 1985 | trans-title = Car specifications 1985 | last = Kurki-Suonio | first = Hannu | publisher = TM-Julkaisu | location = Helsinki | language = fi | page = Automaailma 40 }}</ref> Swiss buyers, however, had to make do with the single-cam {{convert|140|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} ''5M-E'' engine due to their particular emissions restrictions.<ref name="AR85">{{citation | title = Automobil Revue 1985 | ref = AR85 | editor-last = Büschi | editor-first = Hans-Ulrich | publisher = Hallwag, AG | language = de, fr | page = 496 | location = Berne, Switzerland | volume = 80 | date = 7 March 1985 | isbn = 3-444-06081-5 }}</ref>

For general export markets such as Southeast Asia and the [[Gulf Cooperation Council|GCC countries]], the carburetted ''5M'' engine was also available.

Launched in 1987, it came in sedan, hardtop, and wagon body styles, including a van model for commercial uses. This model used the 7M-GE 3000 cc DOHC, 1G-GZE 2000 cc DOHC [[supercharger]], 1G-GE 2000 cc DOHC, 1G-E 2000 cc, 2L-THE 2400 cc SOHC Turbo Diesel Hi-Power (automatics), 2L-TE 2400 cc SOHC Turbo Diesel (with manual transmission) or 2L 2400 cc SOHC naturally aspirated diesel engine. The 4.0-liter 1UZ-FE, the same engine as in [[Lexus LS400]], later became available in the Royal Saloon G, which became the [[Toyota Crown Majesta]] with the next generation Crown. The [[air suspension]]-equipped Royal Saloon G was also available with the 3-liter inline-six engines and used double wishbone control arms to accommodate the airbags. Due to the different suspension, the Royal Saloon G carries a different model code (MS137 versus MS135 for the coil-sprung models). The better-equipped models receive an independent [[Trailing-arm suspension#Semi-trailing arm|semi-trailing arm]] rear suspension, while the simpler versions (including all wagons and vans) have [[Beam axle|live rear axles]] located by [[Trailing-arm suspension#Trailing-arm|trailing links]]. These versions receive different chassis numbers (GS130 versus GS131, for instance).

In 1988, it became the first Toyota available with an airbag.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

Although a totally different chassis and body, the S130 shares styling cues with the [[Toyota Cressida (X80)|X80 Cressida]]. In 1989, the top-level Royal Saloon G introduced the world's first [[CD-ROM]]-based [[automotive navigation system]],<ref name="toyota-global.com"/> with color CRT display.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.favcars.com/toyota-crown-royal-saloon-g-3-0-hardtop-ms137-1987-91-images-186105.htm |title=Toyota Crown Royal 1987 |website=favcars.com/ |access-date=2015-01-19}}</ref> Also, TRC [[traction control]] and electronically controlled shock absorbers called [[Toyota TEMS|TEMS]] (shared with the first generation [[Toyota Soarer]]) were adopted. This Crown was sold only in Japan, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and select Asian markets. Some export markets received the older 2.8 liter SOHC inline-six, either carburetted or fuel injected. For general countries, only with left-hand drive and a four-speed manual transmission, the 2.2-liter inline-four 4Y engine was also available.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://toyota-general.epc-data.com/crown/ys132l/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170731205806/http://toyota-general.epc-data.com/crown/ys132l/ | archive-date = 2017-07-31 | title = Spare parts for YS132L frame Crown | work = Japanese cars online catalogs }}</ref>

In September 1988, a narrow-angle twin-cam version of the two-liter inline-six engine (the 1G-FE) replaced the two-valve 1G-E in most applications, although the lower cost model continued to be available in commercial models until September 1989. In August 1989, the Crown received a light facelift, with more aerodynamic design front and rear, incorporating new bumpers. This was also when the 4-liter V8-engined Royal Saloon G was introduced, using the same engine which was to appear in the Lexus LS400 within a month. The LPG-powered M engine was replaced with the more powerful 1G-GP version at the same time, while the four-cylinder 3Y engine received fuel injection.

In August 1990, a version of the supercharged 2.0 model fitted with the bigger body of the 3.0 was added to the lineup (GS131H). This car was placed in a much higher tax bracket than the narrower-bodied versions. Such cars have different license plates than more compact cars and are therefore considered prestigious, if expensive. This was also when the new 2.5-liter 1JZ-GE engine was introduced as the 2500 Royal Saloon, available as a Sedan, Hardtop, or Wagon, replacing the earlier 2-liter Royal Saloon model. A few LPG-powered models were also available for commercial uses, using two-liter engines with either four or six cylinders.<ref name="gooLS130">{{cite web | work = Used Car Catalog | title = 型式_Y-LS130｜クラウン(トヨタ)の総合情報 | trans-title = Comprehensive data, Toyota Crown Y-LS130 | url= https://www.goo-net.com/car/TOYOTA/CROWN/Y-LS130.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171221025729/https://www.goo-net.com/car/TOYOTA/CROWN/Y-LS130.html | language = ja | publisher=Goo-net | archive-date= 2017-12-21 }}</ref> In October 1991, a large-bodied variant of the turbodiesel sedan was presented.

Station wagons were considered separate from the commercial van models in Japan. They were originally equipped with the 2-liter 1G-FE six, or as a supercharged "Royal Saloon" wagon. The 2.4 turbodiesel was also available. As of August 1990, the 2.5-liter 1JZ-FE was also made available in the station wagon lineup.

=== Facelift (1991–1999) ===
In August 1991, when the Crown hardtop was redesigned and became the S140 series, the Crown sedan and wagon and van were also restyled but retained the S130 model code. At this point the 1JZ-GE and 2JZ-GE engines replaced the M-series in-line-six engines for the Crown lineup, as well as some of the supercharged G-series models. The Standard Sedan for Taxi and base model Wagon feature round headlights and chrome bumpers. The taxi is powered by 2.4-liter diesel engine matched to 4-speed column-mounted manual transmission. In Hong Kong and Singapore, the Crown Sedan with the diesel engine was the most common vehicle used as taxis.

The Crown Royal Saloon, meanwhile, was an exclusive car. In October 1991, the supercharged model was discontinued. In December 1995, the sales of sedan model was stopped for the Japanese market.<ref name=ToyotaCrown1stthru11thJDMbrochures>{{cite web |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60005480A/index.html|title=First thru 11 Toyota Crown sedan |access-date=1 December 2020 |website=75 years of TOYOTA}}</ref> In September 1996, the 1JZ-GE 2.5-liter engine received [[VVT-i]], which led to the power jumping from {{convert|180|to|200|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}.

=== Indonesian assembly (1989–2000) ===

It was originally sold with the two-liter ''1G-FE'' inline-six engine (GS131).

=== Saibeijian Crown ===
While the S130 Crown was officially sold by Toyota in China, there was also a rebadged S130 Crown sold as Saibeijian Crown by Datong Saibeijian Auto Works at the same time. This brand also rebadged numerous cars such as [[Toyota Previa (XR10)|Toyota Previa]], [[Honda Accord#CD|Honda Accord]], [[Nissan Sunny#B14|Nissan Sunny]] and [[Honda Odyssey (North America)#first|Honda Odyssey]].<ref name=SBJ1>{{cite web|url=https://chinacarhistory.com/2018/02/05/crazy-car-production-days-of-guangdong-datong-saibeijian-auto-works/|title=Crazy Car Production Days of Guangdong: Datong Saibeijian Auto Works|date=5 February 2018|access-date=1 December 2020|website=chinacarhistory.com}}</ref>

[[Automotive industry in China#1980 to 1990|In the early 1980s]], the number of imported cars in China increased dramatically, despite the high import tax. China's consumer spending was getting out of control and created a severe trade deficit. Customs duties on imported goods were raised in March 1985 and a new "regulatory tax" was added a few months later. By the fall of 1985, a two-year moratorium on nearly all vehicle imports was imposed.<ref name=BJ151>{{citation | title = Beijing Jeep: A Case Study of Western Business in China | last = Mann | first = Jim | publisher = Westview Press | location = Boulder, CO | isbn = 0-8133-3327-X | pages = [https://archive.org/details/beijingjeepcases00mann/page/151 151–152] | year = 1997 | orig-year = 1989 | url-access = registration | url = https://archive.org/details/beijingjeepcases00mann/page/151 }}</ref> While limiting imports, China also tried to increase local production by boosting the various existing joint-venture passenger car production agreements, as well as adding new ones. But the unclear definition of "car production in China" at that time, inspired the local entrepreneurs to use this [[loophole]].<ref name=SBJ2/>

These rebadged cars were actually fully imported cars from Japan and then were shipped to [[Hong Kong]] but without tires, mirrors, and door handles to be classified as "car parts", thus avoiding 60-80% import tax.<ref name=SBJ2>{{cite web|url=https://chinacarhistory.com/2018/02/04/crazy-car-production-days-of-guangdong-introduction/|title=Crazy Car Production Days of Guangdong: Introduction|date=4 February 2018|access-date=1 December 2020|website=chinacarhistory.com}}</ref> The remaining parts were also shipped from Japan to Hong Kong and was assembled as a full car at [[Guangdong]].<ref name=SBJ2/> But to be able to sell these cars, this Guangdong-based company need a government approved local automobile brand. The company then made a business deal with [[Shanxi]]-based small bus manufacturer, Datong Saibeijian Auto Works, to use their licensed brand for selling these cars and one of them was the Saibeijian Crown.<ref name=SBJ2/>

This was barely concealed [[smuggling]]. This made both the real joint ventures that invested so much money and the Chinese government that lost their income from the import tax unhappy. This led to the government arresting more than 200 government, customs, and law enforcement officials in the southern Guangdong area around [[Zhanjiang]] on September 8, 1998. This affair was known as the "9898 smuggling case", the largest mainland smuggling racket of the last 50 years. The state's lost revenue was estimated around ¥30 billion from the illegal import of thousands of tonnes of crude oil, steel, cars, and other manufactured goods.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://amp.scmp.com/article/292259/zhanjiang-buries-ghost-scandal|title=Zhanjiang buries ghost of scandal|work=South China Morning Post|date=31 August 1999|access-date=1 December 2020}}</ref>

Launched in 1991, this model of Toyota Crown departed from the traditional styling of previous models, and introduced the new Royal Touring trim level. The new hardtop model carried the S140 chassis designation, while the refreshed Crown sedan and wagon still kept the S130 chassis from the previous generation Crown. Unlike its predecessors, this model was produced exclusively in right-hand drive and consequently was not exported to markets with right-hand traffic. Engine options used in the hardtop model were the 2JZ-GE 3000cc DOHC, 1JZ-GE 2500cc DOHC, and the 2L-THE diesel 2400cc SOHC engine. The 1G-FE 2000cc DOHC engine was carried over from the eighth generation for use in the sedan and wagon models. Transmission options were an optional five speed transmission dubbed "5ECT-i" used with the 2JZ-GE, a four speed "ECT-i" transmission used with the 2JZ-GE, and a four speed "ECT" transmission for the 1JZ-GE, 2L-THE, and 1G-FE equipped vehicles.

For the ninth-generation Crown, the Super Edition trim level was removed, and the Super Saloon trim became the entry-level trim. A new trim level was introduced, called Royal Touring, meant to be a mid-tier model with the option of both the 2JZ-GE and 1JZ-GE. The trim levels for the S140 hardtop are Super Select, Super Saloon Extra, Royal Touring, Royal Saloon, and Royal Saloon G. The Royal Saloon G trim kept all of the luxurious options of the previous generation including a fully digital gauge cluster, GPS navigation, and more safety equipment than other trim levels. As with the previous generation, the [[air suspension]]-equipped Royal Saloon G has a different model code (JZS145 versus JZS143 for the coil sprung model).

Styling was largely changed from the S130 generation. The design had shifted to a more curved front and rear end, and removed the Crown badges from the C-pillars which had been on previous models. A brand new taillight design was introduced, which was a curved, wrap-around design. The front end styling was influenced from the UCF10 [[Toyota Celsior]] which was released two years prior to the S140 Crown hardtop. Because of the new rear-end styling moving away from the traditional separate, squared taillights, the design was negatively received. This caused sales and popularity to be much lower than its rivals, the Nissan Cedric and Gloria, as well as the previous generation Crown.

In January 1993, a special-edition model was released, called the Prestige Saloon series for the Royal Saloon G and the Royal Saloon trims, and the Owners Prestige series for the Royal Touring trim. This special model included new chrome door handles and an all-chrome grill.

Later in 1993, a facelift model was released. The rear design went back to that of the S130 type Crown which was more favorably received. Other changes included restoring the Crown emblems to the C-pillars, a further revised front grill, front bumper, and rear bumper. This newly revised Crown was well received over the previous styling, and was able to win back some sales for the ninth-generation Crown.

The 150-series Crown, launched in 1995, had boxier styling than the previous generation and was built as a sedan and hardtop (frameless door window) only. This was the first Crown to not be built using [[body-on-frame]] construction, adopting the [[Vehicle frame#Unibody|unibody]] construction introduced with the 140-series Majesta. The wagon retained the old S130 chassis until 1999.

The hardtop was offered in Royal Extra, Royal Saloon, Royal Saloon G, and sporty Royal Touring trim levels, while sedans were offered in Super Deluxe, Super Saloon, Super Saloon Extra and Royal Saloon trims.

Gasoline engines were offered solely as inline 6-cylinder units with 2.0, 2.5, or 3.0-liter displacements, while an [[Liquefied petroleum gas|LPG]] version of the 2.0 L engine was offered, as was a 2.4 L 4-cylinder turbodiesel. As with previous generations, all vehicles with the 2.0 L engine were offered in a slightly shorter and narrower vehicle so as to be in compliance with Japanese government [[Vehicle size class#Japan|dimension regulations]]. All-wheel drive was offered for the Royal Extra and Royal Saloon. The S150 Crown would be the last generation to be offered with a manual transmission.

In 1996, it won the [[RJC Car of the Year|Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year]] award in Japan which it shared with the [[Toyota Crown Majesta|Crown Majesta]].

Unlike most preceding generations, the S150 Crown was not exported in great numbers. It was mainly sent to China, Hong Kong, the Middle East, and Southeast Asian markets like the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam, with limited exports to some Caribbean and Latin American countries. These Crowns, with sedan rather than hardtop bodywork, were fitted either with the 2.0-liter [[Toyota G engine#1G-FE|1G-FE]] or the 3-liter [[Toyota JZ engine#2JZ-GE|2JZ-GE]] unit depending on market conditions. It was once the official car of the [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam]] during the terms of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]] from 2011 to his death in 2024.

The 170-series, launched in September 1999, features shorter front overhang therefore maximizing interior and trunk space. There are two different 170-series 4-door Saloon; the '''Royal''' and '''Athlete'''. The [[Toyota Crown Majesta|Majesta]], while sharing the same S170 chassis, is a separate vehicle which is larger and longer than the Crown and has distinctive front and rear styling. The four-door Hardtop was discontinued and no left-hand drive versions were produced, restricting exports to right-hand drive markets like Singapore. The 170-series '''Estate''' launched in December 1999 was the first new Crown Wagon after the 130-series and continued in production until June 2007. The engine installed is either the 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 in-line-six. The Athlete V has 2.5-liter 1JZ-GTE [[turbo]] and was offered in both sedan and wagon versions, however the Athlete V wagon was only available until 2003, despite Crown Estate production continuing until 2007. The Royal Saloon was also offered with a 3.0-liter 2JZ-FSE [[mild hybrid]] from August 2001 to 2003, using a [[BAS hybrid|belted alternator starter]] system.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/products_technology/technology_development/hv-fc/index.html | title = Technical Development-HV and FC | publisher = Toyota | year = 2012 | access-date = 2022-10-21}}</ref> Later non-hybrid models were offered with the direct-injection version of the 2JZ engine.

For the updated '''Athlete''' versions starting from August 2001, the tail lamps were changed from incandescent to LED lights and the front grill changed to a mesh design. Furthermore, the grey cloth interior was changed to black cloth, with black leather becoming an available option. Optional 17-inch wheels were also offered starting from 2001. An innovation was the electronically controlled ([[Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension]]) [[air suspension]] combining nonlinear H-infinity control of damping force and roll-orientation control.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The 170-series Crown replaced the aging [[#S130|130-series]] in the Indonesian market.

A total of 10,545 Athlete V sedans were manufactured, with a further 5,012 Athlete V Estates manufactured.

The S180 model of the Crown, released in late 2003, was based on the '''Zero Crown''' concept car. The engine was changed to a V6 for the new Royal and Athlete models, while the [[Toyota Crown Majesta|Crown Majesta]] used the V8 only, now in 4.3-liter form with 4WD optional. The new engines gave more performance while also giving better fuel economy.<ref name="CaD2004">{{cite magazine |title=| magazine=Car and Driver HK| date=Jan 2004| volume=| issue=}}{{fcn|date=September 2022}}</ref> Left-hand drive Crowns became available for the first time since 2001 with this generation, although they were produced exclusively in China by [[Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co.

Compared with the previous model, this model was increased by {{convert|70|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} in the wheelbase and {{convert|15|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} in body width. These changes gave it the largest interior size among its contemporaries, more than the [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class]] or [[BMW 7 Series]].<ref name="CaD2004"/> The slightly shorter and narrower versions with a 2.0 L engine are no longer offered as a Crown, with the Crown Comfort having assumed the market position in Japan for vehicles that complied with Japanese government [[Vehicle size class#Japan|dimension regulations]].

The S170 series Crown Estate was continued alongside the S180 sedans, and was replaced by the luxury-oriented [[Toyota Alphard]] for load carrying duties and multiple passengers. It continued to use the older [[Straight-six engine|inline six-cylinder]] engines.

This generation of the Crown was available in 4 different trim levels: the Crown Royal series which is a more comfortable and luxurious car; the Crown Athlete series, which is similar to the Royal series but has more aggressive styling and sporty features; the [[Toyota Crown Majesta|Crown Majesta]] series with different styling and more luxurious features than the Royal series; and the Crown Hybrid series which is a trim level designated for the [[Hybrid Synergy Drive]] V6 drivetrain.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090326.019/toyota-launches-redesigned-crown-majesta-in-japan |title=Toyota Launches Redesigned Crown Majesta in Japan |work=worldcarfans.com |date=2009-03-27 |access-date=2024-08-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090401220641/http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090326.019/toyota-launches-redesigned-crown-majesta-in-japan |archive-date=2009-04-01 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The larger 4.6 L ''[[Toyota UR engine#1UR-FSE|1UR-FSE]]'' [[V8 engine]] incurred a higher [[Road tax#Japan|road tax liability]].

=== Innovation ===
* The Crown is one of the first vehicles to have a Navigation/Artificial Intelligence-Adaptive Variable Suspension System (NAVI/AI-AVS) 3 Dimensional Satellite Navigation System coupled with [[G-BOOK]] and boasts many features that have not been developed by other luxury car makers. This system can adjust the damper firmness for corners based on map data and change transmission gear shift timings and engine braking for merging on and off highways and approaching tollbooths.
* First Toyota vehicle with [[active noise control]].
* World first [[Collision avoidance system]] (PCS) with front-side [[millimeter wave]] [[radar]] to detect potential side collisions primarily at intersections or when another vehicle crosses the center line. The latest version tilts the rear seat upward, placing the passenger in a more ideal crash position if it detects a front or rear impact.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/detail/305812 |title=Toyota Adds to Pre-crash Safety Technologies |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2009-02-26 |access-date=2018-06-27}}</ref>
* World first PCS Collision avoidance system with [[GPS]]-[[automotive navigation system|navigation]] linked [[brake assist]] function. The system, which is designed to determine if the driver is late in decelerating at an approaching stop sign, will then sound an alert and can also pre-charge the brakes to provide optimum braking force if deemed necessary. This system works in certain Japanese cities and requires Japan specific road markings that are detected by a [[CCD camera]].
* The Crown Hybrid Night View introduced the first [[pedestrian detection]] feature for an active [[Automotive night vision]] system. Toyota added a feature which highlights [[pedestrians]] and presents them in a box on an LCD display in front of the driver.<ref>{{cite web|last=Korzeniewski |first=Jeremy |url=http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/05/31/toyota-introduces-night-view-on-japanese-crown-hybrid/ |title=Toyota introduces Night View on Japanese Crown Hybrid |publisher=Autobloggreen.com |date=2008-05-31 |access-date=2009-12-08}}</ref>
* Updated [[Driver Monitoring System]] for detecting whether the driver's eyes are properly open.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/detail/281564 |title=Toyota Enhances Pre-crash Safety System with Eye Monitor |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2008-01-22 |access-date=2018-06-27}}</ref> It monitors the driver's eyes to detect the driver's level of wakefulness. This system is designed to work even if the driver is wearing sunglasses, and at night.
* World's first [[center airbag]] introduced in 2009.

The Crown is set to rival the European [[BMW 5 Series]], [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class]], [[Audi A6]], [[Jaguar XF]], the American [[Cadillac CTS]], and the Japanese [[Acura RLX]], [[Honda Legend]], [[Infiniti M]] and [[Nissan Fuga]].

The Crown Athlete has been tested to do 0–100 km/h in under 6 seconds, while the Crown Hybrid has been estimated to take 5.4 seconds due to the additional power of the hybrid motor. The mechanically similar Lexus GS 450H Hybrid (GWS191) outputs {{convert|253|kW|bhp|abbr=on|0}}.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

The Crown Hybrid Concept was exhibited at the [[Tokyo Motor Show#2007|2007 Tokyo Motor Show]].

The fourteenth generation Crown was launched on 25 December 2012 with new styling, with the Royal series front styling theme paying homage to the fifth generation [[#S100|MS105 series]]. Most aspects of the car can be controlled by Toyota Multi-Operation Touch panel.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Toyota Launches New 'Crown' Series Sedans in Japan |url=http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/12/12/1225.html |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2012-12-25 |access-date=2012-12-30 |archive-date=2012-12-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121228042813/http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/12/12/1225.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The S210 Crown was launched in China in March 2015. Pricing currently ranges between 250,800 and 332,800 yuan (US$36,830–48,860) with four trim levels known as: Pioneer, Fashion, Sports and Elite. The Crown currently uses the 2-liter ''[[Toyota AR engine#8AR-FTS|8AR-FTS]]'' turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Compared to its Japanese counterpart, the Crown S210 in China is 35 millimetres longer in length, 5 millimetres wider, 15 millimetres shorter in height, 65 millimetres longer in wheelbase and is 165 to 305 kilograms lighter in kerb weight. The front end of the Chinese variant has a razor blade grill just like its Japanese counterpart and has thinner headlights and tail lights for a sleeker design.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota.com.cn/vehicles/crown.php |title=丰田中国 - 全线车系-CROWN 皇冠 |trans-title=Full-size car - Crown |publisher=Toyota |location=China |language=zh |access-date=2019-08-13 |archive-date=2021-02-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210201134913/http://www.toyota.com.cn/vehicles/crown.php |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In Japan, the S210 series Crown was discontinued in June 2018, where it was replaced by the S220 model. It also ended production in May 2020 for the Chinese market, where the [[Toyota Avalon (XX50)|XX50 series Avalon]] replaced it.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.marklines.com/en/news/238852|title=Ended Chinese S210 Crown production in FAW-Toyota|date=7 May 2020 }}</ref>

=== Reborn Pink ===
A special edition version of the S210 Crown was produced in association with Japanese presenter/producer [[Terry Ito]]. It featured a bright pink exterior and various pink interior details. It was offered to customers for the month of September 2013. Toyota stated that they received 650 orders for the car, of which were mostly from male customers. Prices for used examples remain high because of the uniqueness and rarity of the trim.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://paultan.org/2013/10/03/toyota-reborn-pink-crown-athlete/ |title=Toyota Reborn Pink Crown Athlete – for the daring |first=Anthony |last=Lim |date=2013-10-03 |work=paultan.org |location=Malaysia |access-date=2022-03-20}}</ref>

Trim levels for the Japanese market Crown are B, S, G, G Executive, RS-B, RS, and RS Advance. All trim levels are offered with either rear wheel drive or full-time all-wheel drive. The S220 Crown carried over the 2.0-liter [[Toyota AR engine#8AR-FTS|8AR-FTS]] turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine from the previous model, introduced the 2.5 liter [[Toyota Dynamic Force engine#A25A-FXS|A25A-FXS]] paired with the [[Hybrid Synergy Drive]] system, as well as the 3.5-liter [[Toyota GR engine#8GR-FXS|8GR-FXS]] V6 paired with the Multi Stage Hybrid system from the [[Lexus LC#LC 500h|Lexus LC 500h]] and [[Lexus LS#Fifth generation (XF50; 2017)|LS 500h]]. The 2.0 L turbocharged engine is only available in the rear wheel drive RS and RS Advance. All trim levels, except the rear wheel drive G Executive, can be purchased with the 2.5 L Hybrid. The 3.5 L Hybrid is only installed in the rear wheel drive RS Advance and G Executive. The only engine for the 4WD models is 2.5 L Hybrid. The 2.5 L Hybrid G Executive is the only version exported to Indonesia.{{r|S220 Indonesia}}

In October 2019, the S220 Crown was selected by the government of Indonesia to serve as an official vehicle for cabinet ministers, replacing the older Crown Royal Saloon which had been in use since 2009.<ref name="S220 Indonesia">{{cite press release |url=https://www.toyota.astra.co.id/corporate-information/news-promo/read/toyota-crown-menteri-2019-2024 |title=TOYOTA CROWN MENTERI 2019-2024 |language=id |publisher=Toyota Astra Motor |location=Indonesia |date=2019-10-22 |access-date=2022-06-18}}</ref> However, unlike some preceding generations of the Crown in Indonesia, the S220 is imported in small numbers and unavailable for consumer purchase.

In 2020, a facelift of the S220 Crown was planned but rejected by president [[Akio Toyoda]] and scrapped in favour of developing a new generation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://toyotatimes.jp/en/toyota_news/crown/002.html|title=Crown's Essence to Live on in the 16th Generation|publisher=Toyota|date=2022-10-03|access-date=2022-10-06}}</ref> However, in November 2020, the S220 received a minor update which brought a redesigned centre control stack and centre console to the interior, featuring a single 12.3-inch touchscreen and more intuitive physical climate controls in place of the previous dual-screen design.<ref>{{cite news|title=2021 Toyota Crown Gets An Early Update With Massive Touchscreen|first=Jacob|last=Oliva|work=Motor1|date=2020-11-02|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/452136/2021-toyota-crown-infotainment-update/|access-date=2022-10-06}}</ref>

=== T-Connect ===
The fifteenth-generation Crown is one of the first Toyota models to be equipped with a DCM ('''Data Communication Module''') system which then links with a Vehicle Control Network. By using this hardware, Toyota was able to provide various connected services to [[Toyota T-Connect|T-Connect]]<ref group=note>Languages available for T Connect as of now are only Japanese.</ref> subscribers through its proprietary Mobility Service Platform (MSPF), an information infrastructure developed by the company for Connected Cars. From then, Toyota intended to equip most new passenger vehicles in its domestic market with DCM.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/corporate/23157821.html |title=Toyota to make "Connected Vehicles" its new standard in Japan |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2018-06-26 |access-date=2018-07-02}}</ref>

On August 1, 2018, Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota), with Toyota City, started Japan's first verification testing for road maintenance inspections using vehicle data obtained from connected cars. The verification test enabled assessment of whether the degree of road deterioration index values computed from the car's behavior data and actual road conditions are consistent, and validate these findings on more typical regional roads. Toyota also aimed to further advance its technology toward supporting administrative services that implement road maintenance and inspection work in Toyota City more accurately and appropriately.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/corporate/23485508.html |title=Toyota to Commence Verification Testing with Toyota City for Road Maintenance Inspections Using Vehicle Data Obtained from Connected Cars |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2018-07-18}}</ref>

==== Safety and driver assistance ====
==== Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 ====
The fifteenth generation Crown is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 just like most Toyota models for 2018.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/corporate/19842201.html |title=Toyota to Roll Out 2nd Generation Toyota Safety Sense Active Safety Packages from 2018 |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2017-11-27 |access-date=2018-07-02}}</ref> Some added or improved features include:

* (PCS) Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (can detect bicyclists and even pedestrians at night)
* (AHB) Automatic High Beam
* (RSA) Road Sign Assist
* Advance car launch notification function

The decision to develop the sixteenth-generation Crown arose from rejection of plans for a mid-generational refresh of the fifteenth-generation model, after Akio Toyoda scrapped the plans and advocated for a next-generation model at a product planning meeting.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Crown's Essence to Live on in the 16th Generation |work=Toyota Times |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |url=https://toyotatimes.jp/en/toyota_news/crown/002.html |date=2022-10-03 |access-date=2023-02-09}}</ref>

With the exception of the [[#S230|S230/232 sedan]], this generation is the first Crown to use a front-wheel drive-based platform ([[Toyota TNGA-K platform|TNGA-K]]) – although it is paired with Toyota's [[drive shaft]]-less electric all-wheel drive ([[E-Four]]) system as standard.{{cn|date=September 2024}}

The Crown Estate crossover with its slightly low-roof styling was previewed as a mock-up model in July 2022, and will be available in both hybrid and plug-in Hybrid powertrains.

The model went on sale in North America in June 2024 for the 2025 model year as the '''Crown Signia'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 2025 Crown Signia Is an SUV-ified Version of Toyota's Funky Sedan |url=https://www.motor1.com/news/696267/2025-toyota-crown-signia-debut/ |access-date=2023-11-15 |website=Motor1.com |language=en}}</ref> It replaced the smaller [[Toyota Venza|Venza]].

To replace the commercial variant of the S130 Crown sedan, which was popular with taxicab operators, Toyota released a long-wheelbase version of the [[Toyota Comfort|Comfort]] fleet sedan under the '''Crown Comfort''' nameplate. An upscale variant of the Crown Comfort with better appointments was sold exclusively in Japan as the '''Crown Sedan'''. While these models bore the Crown nameplate, they were based on the outgoing [[Toyota Mark II (X80)|X80 series Mark II]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60005626/index.html |title=History of Toyota - 75 years - Crown Comfort vehicle lineage |publisher=Toyota |access-date=2021-12-11}}</ref> The Crown Comfort was popular among taxicab operators in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore, but gradually fell out of favor as better-appointed vehicles become available at competitive cost.

The Crown Comfort was removed from Toyota's Japanese website on 25 May 2017, with production of existing orders ceasing in January 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://manual.toyota.jp/crownsedan/|title=トヨタ取扱説明書クラウンセダン |publisher=Toyota |trans-title = TOYOTA INSTRUCTION MANUAL CROWN SEDAN | access-date=2022-04-11|language=ja-JP}}</ref> It was replaced by the [[Toyota JPN Taxi|JPN Taxi]] which was launched at the 45th [[Tokyo Motor Show]] in October 2017.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.motortrend.com/news/toyota-jpn-taxi-is-japans-new-hybrid-cab/ |title=Toyota JPN Taxi is Japan's New Hybrid Cab |first=Alex |last=Nishimoto |work=Motor Trend |date=2017-10-23 |access-date=2017-11-08}}</ref>

== Trademark dispute ==
In November 2015, Wuhan Municipal Sanitation Machinery Co., Ltd. sued Toyota and a [[Wuhan]]-based automobile dealer for trademark infringement in China based on the similarity of the Crown logo to Wuhan Municipal Sanitation Machinery's China Trademark Registration No. 217925. Toyota had requested cancellation of this trademark registration in December 2014, but its request was denied by the [[CTMO|China Trademark Office (CTMO)]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.webjd.cn/2016/01/toyota-trademark-dispute-over-crown-logo/ |title=Toyota trademark dispute over Crown logo |website=WebJD China |date=2016-01-28 |access-date=2016-01-28}}</ref>

=== Gold steak controversy ===
In November 2021, a video was posted on the [[TikTok]] account of celebrity chef [[Salt Bae|Nusret Gökçe]], widely known by his nickname Salt Bae, which showed Lâm and his entourage dining at Gökçe's Nusr-Et Steakhouse in London after attending the [[2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference]] in Glasgow and laying a wreath at the [[tomb of Karl Marx]]. In the clip, Gökçe feeds Lâm a piece of gold-plated steak and then gives a [[thumbs-up]]. The video was deleted from Gökçe's TikTok account just 30 minutes after a Vietnamese activist shared it on his [[Facebook]] page.

The general secretaryship used to be the second-highest office within the party when [[Ho Chi Minh|Hồ Chí Minh]] was the '''chairman''', a post which existed from 1951 to 1969, and since 1969, the general secretary has generally been regarded as the highest leader of Vietnam. The general secretary also holds the title of '''secretary of the [[Central Military Commission (Vietnam)|Central Military Commission]]''', the leading party organ on military affairs.{{sfn|Porter|1993|pp=83–84}} The current general secretary position is currently vacant following the death of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]], with the [[President of Vietnam|incumbent Vietnamese state president]] [[Tô Lâm]] being appointed to oversee the Party's regular activities as a caretaker, serving as the [[de facto]] acting general secretary of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Politburo issues notice on Party leader's health |url=https://en.nhandan.vn/post-137376.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=[[Nhân Dân]] |publisher=[[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |language=en |quote=...due to the need to continue prioritising the time for the General Secretary to focus on taking intensive care, and in order to ensure the overall management of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and Secretariat, on the basis of the working regulations of the 13th Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, for the immediate future, '''the Politburo assigns To Lam''', Politburo member and State President, '''to be in charge of the work of the Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat with responsibilities and power provided by the Politburo'''.}}</ref> while Trọng is still being honourably listed as the general secretary on CPV homepage, probably until a new general secretary is officially appointed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lãnh đạo Đảng, Nhà nước |url=https://dangcongsan.org.vn/Pages/home.aspx# |website=Online Portal of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |publisher=VCNet}}</ref>

The position was once designated the '''first secretary''' ({{lang-vi|Bí thư Thứ nhất}}) from 1951 to 1976. [[Trần Phú]], one of the founding members of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]], was the party's first general secretary. A year after being elected, he was sentenced to prison by the French authorities because of anti-French activities. He died in prison the same year.{{sfn|Dodd|Lewis|Emmons|2003|p=557}} Trần's ''de facto'' successor was [[Lê Hồng Phong]] who led the party through the office of General Secretary of the Overseas Executive Committee (OEC). The OEC general secretary led the party because the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam|Central Committee]] had been all but annihilated.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=60}} [[Hà Huy Tập]], the third general secretary, was removed from his post in March 1938, and was arrested by the authorities in May.{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|p=225}} [[Nguyễn Văn Cừ (revolutionary)|Nguyễn Văn Cừ]], the fourth general secretary, was arrested by the authorities in January 1940, and executed by shooting on 28 August 1941. He was succeeded by [[Trường Chinh]].{{sfn|Currey|2005|p=61}} An article in ''[[Nhân Dân]]'' on 25 March 1951 described Trường Chinh's role as the "builder and commander" of the revolution, while Hồ Chí Minh was referred to as "the soul of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnamese resistance".{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|pp=1–2}} Trường Chinh was demoted as first secretary in 1956 because of his role in the [[Land reform in North Vietnam|Land Reform campaign".]]{{sfn|Thai|1985|pp=27–29}} Hồ Chí Minh took over the office of first secretary, but quickly appointed [[Lê Duẩn]] acting first secretary.{{sfn|Ooi|2004|p=777}} Lê Duẩn was elected first secretary in 1960 and was second only to Hồ Chí Minh until the latter's death on 2 September 1969.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=174}}

From 2 September 1969 until his death on 10 July 1986, Lê Duẩn was the undisputed leader of Vietnam.{{sfn|Woods|2002|p=74}} He died two months before the next [[National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|National Party Congress]]. He was succeeded by Trường Chinh, the former general secretary who had served as the second-most powerful politician in Vietnam since Hồ Chí Minh's death. Trường Chinh was demoted from his post at the [[6th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|6th National Party Congress]] and was succeeded by [[Nguyễn Văn Linh]].{{sfn|Corfield|2008|pp=111–112}} The Western press called Nguyễn Văn Linh "Vietnam's [[Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]]" because of his reformist policies.{{sfn|Mason|Mason|1997|p=313}} He resigned because of bad health in 1991, and [[Đỗ Mười]] was appointed to the general secretaryship by the [[7th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|7th National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|title=March of the poor and friendless (Vietnamese Communist Party holds its 7th Congress)|newspaper=[[The Economist]]|date= 29 June 1991}}</ref> He ruled until 1997, when he was ousted from power by the reformist-wing of the party.{{sfn|Largo|2002|pp=10–13}} [[Lê Khả Phiêu]] was Đỗ Mười's successor, and he was elected as a compromise candidate.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=1}} He was ousted in 2001, before the [[10th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|10th National Party Congress]], when the Central Committee overturned a decision of the Politburo; a majority in the Central Committee voted to remove Lê Khả Phiêu as general secretary.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=12}} [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] succeeded him, and he came to be considered a modernizer. Nông Đức Mạnh was also the first general secretary with a university degree.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1291000.stm|title=Modernising leader for Vietnam|publisher=[[BBC World News]].

The general secretaryship used to be the second-highest office within the party when [[Ho Chi Minh|Hồ Chí Minh]] was the '''chairman''', a post which existed from 1951 to 1969, and since 1969, the general secretary has generally been regarded as the highest leader of Vietnam. The general secretary also holds the title of '''secretary of the [[Central Military Commission (Vietnam)|Central Military Commission]]''', the leading party organ on military affairs.{{sfn|Porter|1993|pp=83–84}} The current general secretary position is currently vacant following the death of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]], with the [[President of Vietnam|incumbent Vietnamese state president]] [[Tô Lâm]] being appointed to oversee the Party's regular activities as a caretaker, serving as the [[de facto]] acting general secretary of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Politburo issues notice on Party leader's health |url=https://en.nhandan.vn/post-137376.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=[[Nhân Dân]] |publisher=[[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |language=en |quote=...due to the need to continue prioritising the time for the General Secretary to focus on taking intensive care, and in order to ensure the overall management of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and Secretariat, on the basis of the working regulations of the 13th Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, for the immediate future, '''the Politburo assigns To Lam''', Politburo member and State President, '''to be in charge of the work of the Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat with responsibilities and power provided by the Politburo'''.}}</ref> while Trọng is still being honourably listed as the general secretary on CPV homepage, probably until a new general secretary is officially appointed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lãnh đạo Đảng, Nhà nước |url=https://dangcongsan.org.vn/Pages/home.aspx# |website=Online Portal of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |publisher=VCNet}}</ref>

The position was once designated the '''first secretary''' ({{lang-vi|Bí thư Thứ nhất}}) from 1951 to 1976. [[Trần Phú]], one of the founding members of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]], was the party's first general secretary. A year after being elected, he was sentenced to prison by the French authorities because of anti-French activities. He died in prison the same year.{{sfn|Dodd|Lewis|Emmons|2003|p=557}} Trần's ''de facto'' successor was [[Lê Hồng Phong]] who led the party through the office of General Secretary of the Overseas Executive Committee (OEC). The OEC general secretary led the party because the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam|Central Committee]] had been all but annihilated.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=60}} [[Hà Huy Tập]], the third general secretary, was removed from his post in March 1938, and was arrested by the authorities in May.{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|p=225}} [[Nguyễn Văn Cừ (revolutionary)|Nguyễn Văn Cừ]], the fourth general secretary, was arrested by the authorities in January 1940, and executed by shooting on 28 August 1941. He was succeeded by [[Trường Chinh]].{{sfn|Currey|2005|p=61}} An article in ''[[Nhân Dân]]'' on 25 March 1951 described Trường Chinh's role as the "builder and commander" of the revolution, while Hồ Chí Minh was referred to as "the soul of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnamese resistance".{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|pp=1–2}} Trường Chinh was demoted as first secretary in 1956 because of his role in the [[Land reform in North Vietnam|Land Reform campaign".]]{{sfn|Thai|1985|pp=27–29}} Hồ Chí Minh took over the office of first secretary, but quickly appointed [[Lê Duẩn]] acting first secretary.{{sfn|Ooi|2004|p=777}} Lê Duẩn was elected first secretary in 1960 and was second only to Hồ Chí Minh until the latter's death on 2 September 1969.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=174}}

From 2 September 1969 until his death on 10 July 1986, Lê Duẩn was the undisputed leader of Vietnam.{{sfn|Woods|2002|p=74}} He died two months before the next [[National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|National Party Congress]]. He was succeeded by Trường Chinh, the former general secretary who had served as the second-most powerful politician in Vietnam since Hồ Chí Minh's death. Trường Chinh was demoted from his post at the [[6th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|6th National Party Congress]] and was succeeded by [[Nguyễn Văn Linh]].{{sfn|Corfield|2008|pp=111–112}} The Western press called Nguyễn Văn Linh "Vietnam's [[Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]]" because of his reformist policies.{{sfn|Mason|Mason|1997|p=313}} He resigned because of bad health in 1991, and [[Đỗ Mười]] was appointed to the general secretaryship by the [[7th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|7th National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|title=March of the poor and friendless (Vietnamese Communist Party holds its 7th Congress)|newspaper=[[The Economist]]|date= 29 June 1991}}</ref> He ruled until 1997, when he was ousted from power by the reformist-wing of the party.{{sfn|Largo|2002|pp=10–13}} [[Lê Khả Phiêu]] was Đỗ Mười's successor, and he was elected as a compromise candidate.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=1}} He was ousted in 2001, before the [[10th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|10th National Party Congress]], when the Central Committee overturned a decision of the Politburo; a majority in the Central Committee voted to remove Lê Khả Phiêu as general secretary.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=12}} [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] succeeded him, and he came to be considered a modernizer. Nông Đức Mạnh was also the first general secretary with a university degree.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1291000.stm|title=Modernising leader for Vietnam|publisher=[[BBC World News]].

The general secretary presides over the work of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau, the Secretariat, and chairs meetings with key leaders (''Working Regulation of the Central Committee'', 2011).

The general secretaryship used to be the second-highest office within the party when [[Ho Chi Minh|Hồ Chí Minh]] was the '''chairman''', a post which existed from 1951 to 1969, and since 1969, the general secretary has generally been regarded as the highest leader of Vietnam. The general secretary also holds the title of '''secretary of the [[Central Military Commission (Vietnam)|Central Military Commission]]''', the leading party organ on military affairs.{{sfn|Porter|1993|pp=83–84}} The current general secretary position is currently vacant following the death of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]], with the [[President of Vietnam|incumbent Vietnamese state president]] [[Tô Lâm]] being appointed to oversee the Party's regular activities as a caretaker, serving as the [[de facto]] acting general secretary of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Politburo issues notice on Party leader's health |url=https://en.nhandan.vn/post-137376.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=[[Nhân Dân]] |publisher=[[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |language=en |quote=...due to the need to continue prioritising the time for the General Secretary to focus on taking intensive care, and in order to ensure the overall management of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and Secretariat, on the basis of the working regulations of the 13th Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, for the immediate future, '''the Politburo assigns To Lam''', Politburo member and State President, '''to be in charge of the work of the Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat with responsibilities and power provided by the Politburo'''.}}</ref> while Trọng is still being honourably listed as the general secretary on CPV homepage, probably until a new general secretary is officially appointed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lãnh đạo Đảng, Nhà nước |url=https://dangcongsan.org.vn/Pages/home.aspx# |website=Online Portal of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |publisher=VCNet}}</ref>

The position was once designated the '''first secretary''' ({{lang-vi|Bí thư Thứ nhất}}) from 1951 to 1976. [[Trần Phú]], one of the founding members of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]], was the party's first general secretary. A year after being elected, he was sentenced to prison by the French authorities because of anti-French activities. He died in prison the same year.{{sfn|Dodd|Lewis|Emmons|2003|p=557}} Trần's ''de facto'' successor was [[Lê Hồng Phong]] who led the party through the office of General Secretary of the Overseas Executive Committee (OEC). The OEC general secretary led the party because the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam|Central Committee]] had been all but annihilated.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=60}} [[Hà Huy Tập]], the third general secretary, was removed from his post in March 1938, and was arrested by the authorities in May.{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|p=225}} [[Nguyễn Văn Cừ (revolutionary)|Nguyễn Văn Cừ]], the fourth general secretary, was arrested by the authorities in January 1940, and executed by shooting on 28 August 1941. He was succeeded by [[Trường Chinh]].{{sfn|Currey|2005|p=61}} An article in ''[[Nhân Dân]]'' on 25 March 1951 described Trường Chinh's role as the "builder and commander" of the revolution, while Hồ Chí Minh was referred to as "the soul of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnamese resistance".{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|pp=1–2}} Trường Chinh was demoted as first secretary in 1956 because of his role in the [[Land reform in North Vietnam|Land Reform campaign".]]{{sfn|Thai|1985|pp=27–29}} Hồ Chí Minh took over the office of first secretary, but quickly appointed [[Lê Duẩn]] acting first secretary.{{sfn|Ooi|2004|p=777}} Lê Duẩn was elected first secretary in 1960 and was second only to Hồ Chí Minh until the latter's death on 2 September 1969.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=174}}

From 2 September 1969 until his death on 10 July 1986, Lê Duẩn was the undisputed leader of Vietnam.{{sfn|Woods|2002|p=74}} He died two months before the next [[National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|National Party Congress]]. He was succeeded by Trường Chinh, the former general secretary who had served as the second-most powerful politician in Vietnam since Hồ Chí Minh's death. Trường Chinh was demoted from his post at the [[6th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|6th National Party Congress]] and was succeeded by [[Nguyễn Văn Linh]].{{sfn|Corfield|2008|pp=111–112}} The Western press called Nguyễn Văn Linh "Vietnam's [[Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]]" because of his reformist policies.{{sfn|Mason|Mason|1997|p=313}} He resigned because of bad health in 1991, and [[Đỗ Mười]] was appointed to the general secretaryship by the [[7th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|7th National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|title=March of the poor and friendless (Vietnamese Communist Party holds its 7th Congress)|newspaper=[[The Economist]]|date= 29 June 1991}}</ref> He ruled until 1997, when he was ousted from power by the reformist-wing of the party.{{sfn|Largo|2002|pp=10–13}} [[Lê Khả Phiêu]] was Đỗ Mười's successor, and he was elected as a compromise candidate.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=1}} He was ousted in 2001, before the [[10th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|10th National Party Congress]], when the Central Committee overturned a decision of the Politburo; a majority in the Central Committee voted to remove Lê Khả Phiêu as general secretary.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=12}} [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] succeeded him, and he came to be considered a modernizer. Nông Đức Mạnh was also the first general secretary with a university degree.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1291000.stm|title=Modernising leader for Vietnam|publisher=[[BBC World News]].

The general secretary presides over the work of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau, the Secretariat, and chairs meetings with key leaders (''Working Regulation of the Central Committee'', 2011).

The general secretaryship used to be the second-highest office within the party when [[Ho Chi Minh|Hồ Chí Minh]] was the '''chairman''', a post which existed from 1951 to 1969, and since 1969, the general secretary has generally been regarded as the highest leader of Vietnam. The general secretary also holds the title of '''secretary of the [[Central Military Commission (Vietnam)|Central Military Commission]]''', the leading party organ on military affairs.{{sfn|Porter|1993|pp=83–84}} The current general secretary position is currently vacant following the death of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]], with the [[President of Vietnam|incumbent Vietnamese state president]] [[Tô Lâm]] being appointed to oversee the Party's regular activities as a caretaker, serving as the [[de facto]] acting general secretary of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Politburo issues notice on Party leader's health |url=https://en.nhandan.vn/post-137376.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=[[Nhân Dân]] |publisher=[[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |language=en |quote=...due to the need to continue prioritising the time for the General Secretary to focus on taking intensive care, and in order to ensure the overall management of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and Secretariat, on the basis of the working regulations of the 13th Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, for the immediate future, '''the Politburo assigns To Lam''', Politburo member and State President, '''to be in charge of the work of the Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat with responsibilities and power provided by the Politburo'''.}}</ref> while Trọng is still being honourably listed as the general secretary on CPV homepage, probably until a new general secretary is officially appointed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lãnh đạo Đảng, Nhà nước |url=https://dangcongsan.org.vn/Pages/home.aspx# |website=Online Portal of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |publisher=VCNet}}</ref>

The position was once designated the '''first secretary''' ({{lang-vi|Bí thư Thứ nhất}}) from 1951 to 1976. [[Trần Phú]], one of the founding members of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]], was the party's first general secretary. A year after being elected, he was sentenced to prison by the French authorities because of anti-French activities. He died in prison the same year.{{sfn|Dodd|Lewis|Emmons|2003|p=557}} Trần's ''de facto'' successor was [[Lê Hồng Phong]] who led the party through the office of General Secretary of the Overseas Executive Committee (OEC). The OEC general secretary led the party because the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam|Central Committee]] had been all but annihilated.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=60}} [[Hà Huy Tập]], the third general secretary, was removed from his post in March 1938, and was arrested by the authorities in May.{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|p=225}} [[Nguyễn Văn Cừ (revolutionary)|Nguyễn Văn Cừ]], the fourth general secretary, was arrested by the authorities in January 1940, and executed by shooting on 28 August 1941. He was succeeded by [[Trường Chinh]].{{sfn|Currey|2005|p=61}} An article in ''[[Nhân Dân]]'' on 25 March 1951 described Trường Chinh's role as the "builder and commander" of the revolution, while Hồ Chí Minh was referred to as "the soul of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnamese resistance".{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|pp=1–2}} Trường Chinh was demoted as first secretary in 1956 because of his role in the [[Land reform in North Vietnam|Land Reform campaign".]]{{sfn|Thai|1985|pp=27–29}} Hồ Chí Minh took over the office of first secretary, but quickly appointed [[Lê Duẩn]] acting first secretary.{{sfn|Ooi|2004|p=777}} Lê Duẩn was elected first secretary in 1960 and was second only to Hồ Chí Minh until the latter's death on 2 September 1969.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=174}}

From 2 September 1969 until his death on 10 July 1986, Lê Duẩn was the undisputed leader of Vietnam.{{sfn|Woods|2002|p=74}} He died two months before the next [[National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|National Party Congress]]. He was succeeded by Trường Chinh, the former general secretary who had served as the second-most powerful politician in Vietnam since Hồ Chí Minh's death. Trường Chinh was demoted from his post at the [[6th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|6th National Party Congress]] and was succeeded by [[Nguyễn Văn Linh]].{{sfn|Corfield|2008|pp=111–112}} The Western press called Nguyễn Văn Linh "Vietnam's [[Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]]" because of his reformist policies.{{sfn|Mason|Mason|1997|p=313}} He resigned because of bad health in 1991, and [[Đỗ Mười]] was appointed to the general secretaryship by the [[7th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|7th National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|title=March of the poor and friendless (Vietnamese Communist Party holds its 7th Congress)|newspaper=[[The Economist]]|date= 29 June 1991}}</ref> He ruled until 1997, when he was ousted from power by the reformist-wing of the party.{{sfn|Largo|2002|pp=10–13}} [[Lê Khả Phiêu]] was Đỗ Mười's successor, and he was elected as a compromise candidate.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=1}} He was ousted in 2001, before the [[10th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|10th National Party Congress]], when the Central Committee overturned a decision of the Politburo; a majority in the Central Committee voted to remove Lê Khả Phiêu as general secretary.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=12}} [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] succeeded him, and he came to be considered a modernizer. Nông Đức Mạnh was also the first general secretary with a university degree.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1291000.stm|title=Modernising leader for Vietnam|publisher=[[BBC World News]].

The general secretary presides over the work of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau, the Secretariat, and chairs meetings with key leaders (''Working Regulation of the Central Committee'', 2011).

The general secretaryship used to be the second-highest office within the party when [[Ho Chi Minh|Hồ Chí Minh]] was the '''chairman''', a post which existed from 1951 to 1969, and since 1969, the general secretary has generally been regarded as the highest leader of Vietnam. The general secretary also holds the title of '''secretary of the [[Central Military Commission (Vietnam)|Central Military Commission]]''', the leading party organ on military affairs.{{sfn|Porter|1993|pp=83–84}} The current general secretary position is currently vacant following the death of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]], with the [[President of Vietnam|incumbent Vietnamese state president]] [[Tô Lâm]] being appointed to oversee the Party's regular activities as a caretaker, serving as the [[de facto]] acting general secretary of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Politburo issues notice on Party leader's health |url=https://en.nhandan.vn/post-137376.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=[[Nhân Dân]] |publisher=[[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |language=en |quote=...due to the need to continue prioritising the time for the General Secretary to focus on taking intensive care, and in order to ensure the overall management of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and Secretariat, on the basis of the working regulations of the 13th Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, for the immediate future, '''the Politburo assigns To Lam''', Politburo member and State President, '''to be in charge of the work of the Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat with responsibilities and power provided by the Politburo'''.}}</ref> while Trọng is still being honourably listed as the general secretary on CPV homepage, probably until a new general secretary is officially appointed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lãnh đạo Đảng, Nhà nước |url=https://dangcongsan.org.vn/Pages/home.aspx# |website=Online Portal of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |publisher=VCNet}}</ref>

The position was once designated the '''first secretary''' ({{lang-vi|Bí thư Thứ nhất}}) from 1951 to 1976. [[Trần Phú]], one of the founding members of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]], was the party's first general secretary. A year after being elected, he was sentenced to prison by the French authorities because of anti-French activities. He died in prison the same year.{{sfn|Dodd|Lewis|Emmons|2003|p=557}} Trần's ''de facto'' successor was [[Lê Hồng Phong]] who led the party through the office of General Secretary of the Overseas Executive Committee (OEC). The OEC general secretary led the party because the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam|Central Committee]] had been all but annihilated.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=60}} [[Hà Huy Tập]], the third general secretary, was removed from his post in March 1938, and was arrested by the authorities in May.{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|p=225}} [[Nguyễn Văn Cừ (revolutionary)|Nguyễn Văn Cừ]], the fourth general secretary, was arrested by the authorities in January 1940, and executed by shooting on 28 August 1941. He was succeeded by [[Trường Chinh]].{{sfn|Currey|2005|p=61}} An article in ''[[Nhân Dân]]'' on 25 March 1951 described Trường Chinh's role as the "builder and commander" of the revolution, while Hồ Chí Minh was referred to as "the soul of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnamese resistance".{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|pp=1–2}} Trường Chinh was demoted as first secretary in 1956 because of his role in the [[Land reform in North Vietnam|Land Reform campaign".]]{{sfn|Thai|1985|pp=27–29}} Hồ Chí Minh took over the office of first secretary, but quickly appointed [[Lê Duẩn]] acting first secretary.{{sfn|Ooi|2004|p=777}} Lê Duẩn was elected first secretary in 1960 and was second only to Hồ Chí Minh until the latter's death on 2 September 1969.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=174}}

From 2 September 1969 until his death on 10 July 1986, Lê Duẩn was the undisputed leader of Vietnam.{{sfn|Woods|2002|p=74}} He died two months before the next [[National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|National Party Congress]]. He was succeeded by Trường Chinh, the former general secretary who had served as the second-most powerful politician in Vietnam since Hồ Chí Minh's death. Trường Chinh was demoted from his post at the [[6th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|6th National Party Congress]] and was succeeded by [[Nguyễn Văn Linh]].{{sfn|Corfield|2008|pp=111–112}} The Western press called Nguyễn Văn Linh "Vietnam's [[Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]]" because of his reformist policies.{{sfn|Mason|Mason|1997|p=313}} He resigned because of bad health in 1991, and [[Đỗ Mười]] was appointed to the general secretaryship by the [[7th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|7th National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|title=March of the poor and friendless (Vietnamese Communist Party holds its 7th Congress)|newspaper=[[The Economist]]|date= 29 June 1991}}</ref> He ruled until 1997, when he was ousted from power by the reformist-wing of the party.{{sfn|Largo|2002|pp=10–13}} [[Lê Khả Phiêu]] was Đỗ Mười's successor, and he was elected as a compromise candidate.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=1}} He was ousted in 2001, before the [[10th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|10th National Party Congress]], when the Central Committee overturned a decision of the Politburo; a majority in the Central Committee voted to remove Lê Khả Phiêu as general secretary.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=12}} [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] succeeded him, and he came to be considered a modernizer. Nông Đức Mạnh was also the first general secretary with a university degree.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1291000.stm|title=Modernising leader for Vietnam|publisher=[[BBC World News]].

The general secretary presides over the work of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau, the Secretariat, and chairs meetings with key leaders (''Working Regulation of the Central Committee'', 2011).

The general secretaryship used to be the second-highest office within the party when [[Ho Chi Minh|Hồ Chí Minh]] was the '''chairman''', a post which existed from 1951 to 1969, and since 1969, the general secretary has generally been regarded as the highest leader of Vietnam. The general secretary also holds the title of '''secretary of the [[Central Military Commission (Vietnam)|Central Military Commission]]''', the leading party organ on military affairs.{{sfn|Porter|1993|pp=83–84}} The current general secretary position is currently vacant following the death of [[Nguyễn Phú Trọng]], with the [[President of Vietnam|incumbent Vietnamese state president]] [[Tô Lâm]] being appointed to oversee the Party's regular activities as a caretaker, serving as the [[de facto]] acting general secretary of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Politburo issues notice on Party leader's health |url=https://en.nhandan.vn/post-137376.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=[[Nhân Dân]] |publisher=[[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |language=en |quote=...due to the need to continue prioritising the time for the General Secretary to focus on taking intensive care, and in order to ensure the overall management of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and Secretariat, on the basis of the working regulations of the 13th Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, for the immediate future, '''the Politburo assigns To Lam''', Politburo member and State President, '''to be in charge of the work of the Party Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat with responsibilities and power provided by the Politburo'''.}}</ref> while Trọng is still being honourably listed as the general secretary on CPV homepage, probably until a new general secretary is officially appointed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lãnh đạo Đảng, Nhà nước |url=https://dangcongsan.org.vn/Pages/home.aspx# |website=Online Portal of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] |publisher=VCNet}}</ref>

The position was once designated the '''first secretary''' ({{lang-vi|Bí thư Thứ nhất}}) from 1951 to 1976. [[Trần Phú]], one of the founding members of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]], was the party's first general secretary. A year after being elected, he was sentenced to prison by the French authorities because of anti-French activities. He died in prison the same year.{{sfn|Dodd|Lewis|Emmons|2003|p=557}} Trần's ''de facto'' successor was [[Lê Hồng Phong]] who led the party through the office of General Secretary of the Overseas Executive Committee (OEC). The OEC general secretary led the party because the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam|Central Committee]] had been all but annihilated.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=60}} [[Hà Huy Tập]], the third general secretary, was removed from his post in March 1938, and was arrested by the authorities in May.{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|p=225}} [[Nguyễn Văn Cừ (revolutionary)|Nguyễn Văn Cừ]], the fourth general secretary, was arrested by the authorities in January 1940, and executed by shooting on 28 August 1941. He was succeeded by [[Trường Chinh]].{{sfn|Currey|2005|p=61}} An article in ''[[Nhân Dân]]'' on 25 March 1951 described Trường Chinh's role as the "builder and commander" of the revolution, while Hồ Chí Minh was referred to as "the soul of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnamese resistance".{{sfn|Quinn-Judge|2002|pp=1–2}} Trường Chinh was demoted as first secretary in 1956 because of his role in the [[Land reform in North Vietnam|Land Reform campaign".]]{{sfn|Thai|1985|pp=27–29}} Hồ Chí Minh took over the office of first secretary, but quickly appointed [[Lê Duẩn]] acting first secretary.{{sfn|Ooi|2004|p=777}} Lê Duẩn was elected first secretary in 1960 and was second only to Hồ Chí Minh until the latter's death on 2 September 1969.{{sfn|Brocheux|2007|p=174}}

From 2 September 1969 until his death on 10 July 1986, Lê Duẩn was the undisputed leader of Vietnam.{{sfn|Woods|2002|p=74}} He died two months before the next [[National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|National Party Congress]]. He was succeeded by Trường Chinh, the former general secretary who had served as the second-most powerful politician in Vietnam since Hồ Chí Minh's death. Trường Chinh was demoted from his post at the [[6th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|6th National Party Congress]] and was succeeded by [[Nguyễn Văn Linh]].{{sfn|Corfield|2008|pp=111–112}} The Western press called Nguyễn Văn Linh "Vietnam's [[Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]]" because of his reformist policies.{{sfn|Mason|Mason|1997|p=313}} He resigned because of bad health in 1991, and [[Đỗ Mười]] was appointed to the general secretaryship by the [[7th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|7th National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|title=March of the poor and friendless (Vietnamese Communist Party holds its 7th Congress)|newspaper=[[The Economist]]|date= 29 June 1991}}</ref> He ruled until 1997, when he was ousted from power by the reformist-wing of the party.{{sfn|Largo|2002|pp=10–13}} [[Lê Khả Phiêu]] was Đỗ Mười's successor, and he was elected as a compromise candidate.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=1}} He was ousted in 2001, before the [[10th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam|10th National Party Congress]], when the Central Committee overturned a decision of the Politburo; a majority in the Central Committee voted to remove Lê Khả Phiêu as general secretary.{{sfn|Abuza|2001|p=12}} [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] succeeded him, and he came to be considered a modernizer. Nông Đức Mạnh was also the first general secretary with a university degree.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1291000.stm|title=Modernising leader for Vietnam|publisher=[[BBC World News]].

The general secretary presides over the work of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau, the Secretariat, and chairs meetings with key leaders (''Working Regulation of the Central Committee'', 2011).

The [[Olympic Games ceremony#Opening|opening ceremony]] of the [[2024 Summer Olympics]] took place on 26 July 2024 across [[Paris]], beginning at 19:30 [[Central European Summer Time|CEST]] (17:30 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]). As mandated by the [[Olympic Charter]], the proceedings included an artistic program showcasing the culture of the host country and city, the parade of athletes and the lighting of the [[Olympic cauldron]]. The Games were [[List of people who have opened the Olympic Games|formally opened]] by the [[President of France]], [[Emmanuel Macron]].

For the first time in modern Olympic history, since the opening ceremony of the [[2018 Summer Youth Olympics]] in Buenos Aires, the opening ceremony was held outside of a stadium, with most of the procedures & performances taking place in several Paris landmarks and across the Seine River with most of the official protocols taking place at a temporary stadium in the Jardins du Trocadéro. The programme consisted of twelve chapters.

== Preparations ==
Planning was expected to finalise by the end of 2023, with certain rehearsals occurring in other venues without the public before the event, while in specific situations, some were carried out on-site, which were considered as "teasers" by Thierry Reboul, the Brand, Creativity and Engagement Executive Director for the Games. The first camera test shots were done in September 2023 and coverage of the event is expected to be provided by 130 cameras.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Lloyd |first=Owen |date=20 September 2023 |title=Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony preparations to be finalised by end of year |work=[[Inside the Games]] |url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1140975/paris-2024-opening-ceremony |url-status=live |access-date=21 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230921145814/https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1140975/paris-2024-opening-ceremony |archive-date=21 September 2023}}</ref> The event will be broadcast to 80 giant screens along the route of the Seine.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Delorme |first=Anne-Claire |date=10 July 2023 |title=Paris 2024 opening ceremony: why you (really) shouldn't miss it? |url=https://www.france.fr/en/paris/article/opening-ceremony-og-paris-2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929035710/https://www.france.fr/en/paris/article/opening-ceremony-og-paris-2024 |archive-date=29 September 2023 |access-date=21 December 2023 |website=Explore France}}</ref> Organized by theater actor and director [[Thomas Jolly (artist)|Thomas Jolly]], it will be the first opening ceremony held outside of an [[Olympic Stadium|Olympic stadium]] since the [[2018 Summer Youth Olympics]] held in [[Buenos Aires]].<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3">{{Cite news |date=17 July 2023 |title=Seine-sational?

Parisian mayor Anne Hidalgo assembled a committee to develop the creative aspects of the ceremony before [[COJOP2024]] hired a creative director. The committee's chair, [[Patrick Boucheron]], would eventually be one of the four individuals hired by Jolly to develop the script. Even before being chosen to plan the ceremony, Jolly had "dreamed of delegations arriving by [[hot air balloon]], a [[French inventions|French invention]], and of the heads of dead kings rising from the Seine to watch the ceremony", yet this idea was not implemented.<ref name=":8" /> Thomas Jolly and four scriptwriters planned the ceremony. They wore puffer jackets while going out on boats along the river from the Austerlitz Bridge to the Eiffel Tower. After these excursions, they spent nine months writing the ceremony.<ref name=":9" /> They took inspiration from the [[history of Paris]],<ref name=":9" /> and its main themes consist of love and "shared humanity."<ref name=":8" />

After determining 12 scenes of French history to represent, Jolly hired four subdirectors to develop the music, costumes and choreography of the event.<ref name=":8" /> [[Daphné Bürki]] and [[Olivier Bériot]] were in charge of costumes while {{Interlanguage link|Maud Le Pladec|fr}} was entrusted the choreography and dance,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Padovani |first=Loïc |date=26 July 2024 |title=Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics: The (Expected) Moment of Glory for Thomas Jolly, Artistic Director of the Event |url=https://olympics.com/en/news/opening-ceremony-paris-2024-olympics-glory-thomas-joly-artistic-director-event |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240726135510/https://olympics.com/en/news/opening-ceremony-paris-2024-olympics-glory-thomas-joly-artistic-director-event |archive-date=26 July 2024 |access-date=26 July 2024 |website=[[International Olympic Committee]]}}</ref> with {{Interlanguage link|Victor Le Masne|fr}}, who developed the Olympic theme for the opening and closing ceremonies in three seconds, as the musical director.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Knopper |first=Steve |date=24 July 2024 |title=Olympics 2024 Theme Composer Victor le Masne Found the Melody in Three Seconds.

Other plans that did not go through included a performance that would take place near fish hatchery by the Béthune Quay on the bank of the Seine which was not to be disturbed, and mass dancers on a bridge that would have caused its collapse, with an undisclosed scene being reworked 73 times by May 2024.<ref name=":8" />

Since the water level would rise or fall depending on the weather, the organizer's developed "software to cast the route in 3-D so he could visualize high and low water levels, rain, even storms".<ref name=":8" />

===Safety measures===
In October 2023, following security concerns caused by the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the [[2023 Israel–Hamas war]] and the [[Arras school stabbing]], both the French government and the [[Paris Organising Committee for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games]] (COJOP2024) stated there were no official plans to relocate, stating that "Plan A takes into account all of the threats." Oudéa-Castréa stated on [[BFM TV]] that they were paying attention to context and the government had been working on "adjustment variables," wishing to maintain the original format.<ref name=":4" /> In December 2023, President Macron stated that there were multiple scenarios for the ceremony, in case of a major security event which would force it to move from the Seine. To this, COJOP2024 stated they had "contingency plans for all identified risk scenarios: heatwaves, cyberattacks, and the ceremony is no exception."<ref name=":1" /> In April 2024 President Macron announced that in case of a terrorism threat, there is a plan B, and even plan C; in that case the Opening Ceremony will be moved to the Trocadero square or to the Stade de France stadium.<ref name="CNN">{{Cite web |last=Mawad |first=Dalal |date=16 April 2024 |title=Emmanuel Macron says Olympic Opening Ceremony could be changed in case of terrorism threat |url=https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/16/sport/macron-olympic-opening-ceremony-terrorism-threat-spt-intl/index.html |access-date=22 July 2024 |website=CNN |language=en}}</ref> Nevertheless, Christophe Dubi, the IOC Olympic Games executive director, stated the previous month of March that a change to the Stade de France would be unlikely due to the event being "too big, too sophisticated, too complex artistically to look at a Plan B in another location."<ref name=":7" />

==Plot==
Two idols, Tsubasa Kazanari and Kanade Amō, collectively known as Zwei Wing, battle against an alien race known as Noise using armor known as Symphogear, which uses the power of music to counteract the Noise's destructive capability. However, Kanade sacrifices herself to protect a girl named Hibiki Tachibana, who ends up with a piece of Kanade's Symphogear relic, [[Gungnir]], embedded in her chest. Two years later, Hibiki awakens the power of the Gungnir relic inside her body, gaining the same Symphogear armor that Kanade had. Using the power of song, Hibiki and her fellow Symphogear wielders must fight to protect the innocent and defeat those who would use the Noise for evil.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-28/symphogear-music-battle-tv-anime-1st-promo-streamed|title=Symphogear Music Battle TV Anime's 1st Promo Streamed|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=2011-12-28|access-date=2012-10-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022210123/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-28/symphogear-music-battle-tv-anime-1st-promo-streamed|archive-date=2012-10-22|url-status=live }}</ref>

==Characters==
===Symphogear Users===
Collectively termed as ''Symphogear Adaptors'', these are the main protagonist of the franchise. Each {{nihongo|Candidate|適合者|Tekigōsha, lit. "suitable person"}} are armed with a [[ruby]]-like {{nihongo|relic|聖遺物|Seiibutsu}} shard, which can conjure a {{nihongo|Symphogear|シンフォギア|Shinfogia}}, a hyper-advanced [[Alchemy|alchemic]] powered armor powered by one's {{nihongo|Phonic Gain|フォニックゲイン|Fonikku Gein}}, the user's harmonized melody. Symphogears, otherwise called as {{nihongo|Gears|ギア|Gia}}, has an access to an {{nihongo|Armed Gear|アームドギア|Āmudo Gia}} weapon that was unique to them specifically, and multiple different forms that can be unlocked through various factors that bypass some of each gear's 301,655,722 locks, with its ultimate true form, {{nihongo|X-Drive|エクスドライブ|Ekusu-Doraibu}}, can only be unlocked via a large amount of Phonic Gain.

Furthermore, Symphogear users can access its {{nihongo|Superb Song|絶唱|Zesshō}}, an extremely powerful attack that can normally be used in critical situations, though the damage inflicted by the Superb Song is determined by the compatibility coefficients, if the coefficient of compatibility is high, less damage will be done. In some worst cases, using a Superb Song while in a critical condition, or when the effects of "LiNKER" wearing off, can lead to fatal feedback for the user, potentially killing them and/or their Symphogear in the process.

Symphogears can only be used by compatible Candidates, though some characters can bypass the synchronization requirement, either through the use of a "LiNKER" drug or by being fused with a relic.

;{{nihongo|Hibiki Tachibana|立花響|Tachibana Hibiki}}
:{{animevoices|[[Aoi Yūki]]}}
:A cheerful, rather childish but sometimes cautious schoolgirl who attends the same school as Tsubasa. Two years ago, while attending a Zwei Wing concert, she was nearly killed by the Noise, barely surviving thanks to the sacrifice of Kanade, who taught her never to accept death. During the first episode, when she becomes cornered by the Noise, she sings the same song she heard Kanade sing and ends up gaining Symphogear powers due a fragment of Kanade's armor that entered her body that day. Whenever she becomes really angry, she sometimes enters a state of frenzy. She is seen capable of using Durandal, and uses it in the final battle against Finé with the help of her friends. She was thought to be dead after destroying a large section of the moon to save Earth, along with Tsubasa and Chris, but she actually survived, along with the others.

:In the second season, it is shown that the Gungnir relic is spreading through her body, growing more with every transformation, which gives her increasingly explosive power but will eventually lead to Gungnir bursting out from inside her body and killing her. She manages to cure this thanks to the laser from Miku's gear removing hers, completely cleanse her body of Gungnir fragment thus fully disabling her transformation. In the final battle at the Frontier she manages to revive her Symphogear by using energy from Maria's Gungnir. Her past is also revealed that she was bullied due to her survival from the previous attack.

:In the epilogue of the fourth season, it is revealed that Hibiki and Miku were purged from the "original sin", or more accurately the Curse of Balal, when they were hit by the ShenshouJing's negating laser. This might be the reason why Hibiki turned into a Divine Weapon when the divine power is fused within her in the near season finale.

:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-r03'''''', codenamed {{nihongo|''[[Gungnir]]''|ガングニール|Gangunīru}}, which originally belonged to Kanade. However, since it is only a fragment, she originally possesses less armor compared to the original, though the armor itself is capable of transforming in the same manner as an Armed Gear to a limited degree. She compensates for this by specializing in powerful martial arts, using short bursts of energy and multiple pistons in its armor to power her punches or launch herself at great distances. Her Armed Gear is her hands, figuratively and literally, which materialized as numerous types of piston or jet-powered gauntlets, as well as to absorb the excess energy generated by other Symphogears' Superb Song and redirect it into a combination attack. After regaining her Symphogear through Maria's relic near the end of ''G'', she has since having access to jet-powered gauntlets or a drill as her Armed Gear.
:She is also notable that unlike the remaining gear users, she doesn't possess any significant weapons arming on her side except for her hands, which have been upgraded with powerful punching abilities.

After the death of her partner Kanade, to whom she is rather attached with after witnessing Kanade's urge to fight the noise, Tsubasa became quiet, cold and aloof. She is very reluctant to work with Hibiki, refusing to accept her as Kanade's replacement, but she and Hibiki eventually get to be good friends. She is also a rather popular pop idol, though she refuses to sing in concerts or accept proposals to release her songs internationally, viewing herself only as a weapon that sings only to fight. However, after "talking" to Kanade after singing her superb song, Tsubasa starts to open up to Hibiki, and even sings in the place where Kanade was killed, and later, accepting a contract overseas. She "dies" in the explosion of Kadingir, when she destroys it, but was revived with the Symphogear.

Chris works with Finé in order to fulfill her wish of stopping wars by killing all those with the power and will to fight. This is because, eight years prior, Chris' parents {{nihongo|'''Masanori Yukine'''|雪音雅律|Yukine Masanori}} and {{nihongo|'''Sonnet M. Yukine'''|ソネット・M・ユキネ|Sonetto Emu Yukine}} took Chris with them to South America to use music performances to help the refugees of a civil war. However, Masanori and Sonnet were killed in a terrorist bombing, and Chris herself was kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. Two years before the series, she was rescued by the UN and returned to Japan; Section Two then arranged to take her in, but Chris was instead kidnapped by Finé to be used as a tool for her plans. However, Finé ends up abandoning Chris when Chris does not live up to her expectations. Chris then sides with Hibiki and Tsubasa against Finé.

Chris is thought to be dead once again after destroying a large section of the moon to save Earth, along with Tsubasa and Hibiki, but she manages to survive.

Although it has a mysterious quality, her vigorous singing voice has crossed over international borders and garnered a large number of wild and enthusiastic fans throughout the world. To bring forth justice, she has risen as an enemy against all of humanity, clad in a Gungnir Symphogear that is outside of the Japanese government's control. Her weapon is a second Gungnir, with a spear similar in form to Kanade's but with different features including a powerful cannon mode. Maria initially claims to be the newest reincarnation of Finé, but this is eventually revealed to be a ruse. Like Kanade, Maria is reliant on LiNKER to maintain synchronization with her Symphogear, giving her a time limit in battle and causing her superb song to be potentially fatal.

Two years ago, she sacrificed herself to protect Hibiki during a Noise attack, singing her superb song which destroyed them and herself.

Finé is convinced that only pain can unite human hearts, and uses this as a reason for whenever she sexually abuses or tortures Chris for punishment or entertainment. After Chris fails to live up to her expectations, Finé abandons her and takes the Nehushtan Armor for her own use. Finé's ultimate goal is to use the ion particle cannon, Kadingir, to destroy the moon, freeing humanity of the [[confusion of tongues|Curse of Balal]], while also causing chaos via gravitational disturbances so that humanity will bow down in fear to her.

:Finé is an ancient priestess who had served God and in time came to love Enki, though the true nature of this love is ambiguous. She built the [[Tower of Babel]] in an attempt to reach him, but her efforts were confounded when he threw down the tower and inflicted the Curse of Balal upon humanity. Undeterred, Finé sealed her soul in her genes so that her consciousness would awaken whenever one of her descendants would be exposed to the Aufwachen (''awakening'' in German) wavelength given off by the relics. Due to this reason, she is essentially immortal, capable of resurrection so as long her DNA is passed down. Finé claims she was responsible for the paradigm shifts that had changed humanity throughout history, working through the bodies of her descendants.

She planned for the destruction of the Autoscorers using the Ignite modes to power up the Chateau de Tiffauges and by disturbing the ley lines, she intended to use the Chateau to destroy the world and obtain all its knowledge. When Elfnein said that her father didn't want her to destroy the world, she admits that she's right, but also that she's too resentful toward the world to stop. When the Chateau de Tiffauges is destroyed, she refuses to surrender and uses all her memories to create a giant mechanical lion (based on Gregar from Mega Man Battle Network 6) to fight the heroines, only to be defeated when Hibiki combines the power of all their relics to destroy the Mechalion.

Having achieved mastery of alchemy through which a state of perfection can be obtained, Saint-Germain created for herself a perfect body which can live eternally.

==Plot==
Two idols, Tsubasa Kazanari and Kanade Amō, collectively known as Zwei Wing, battle against an alien race known as Noise using armor known as Symphogear, which uses the power of music to counteract the Noise's destructive capability. However, Kanade sacrifices herself to protect a girl named Hibiki Tachibana, who ends up with a piece of Kanade's Symphogear relic, [[Gungnir]], embedded in her chest. Two years later, Hibiki awakens the power of the Gungnir relic inside her body, gaining the same Symphogear armor that Kanade had. Using the power of song, Hibiki and her fellow Symphogear wielders must fight to protect the innocent and defeat those who would use the Noise for evil.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-28/symphogear-music-battle-tv-anime-1st-promo-streamed|title=Symphogear Music Battle TV Anime's 1st Promo Streamed|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=2011-12-28|access-date=2012-10-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022210123/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-28/symphogear-music-battle-tv-anime-1st-promo-streamed|archive-date=2012-10-22|url-status=live }}</ref>

==Characters==
===Symphogear Users===
Collectively termed as ''Symphogear Adaptors'', these are the main protagonist of the franchise. Each {{nihongo|Candidate|適合者|Tekigōsha, lit. "suitable person"}} are armed with a [[ruby]]-like {{nihongo|relic|聖遺物|Seiibutsu}} shard, which can conjure a {{nihongo|Symphogear|シンフォギア|Shinfogia}}, a hyper-advanced [[Alchemy|alchemic]] powered armor powered by one's {{nihongo|Phonic Gain|フォニックゲイン|Fonikku Gein}}, the user's harmonized melody. Symphogears, otherwise called as {{nihongo|Gears|ギア|Gia}}, has an access to an {{nihongo|Armed Gear|アームドギア|Āmudo Gia}} weapon that was unique to them specifically, and multiple different forms that can be unlocked through various factors that bypass some of each gear's 301,655,722 locks, with its ultimate true form, {{nihongo|X-Drive|エクスドライブ|Ekusu-Doraibu}}, can only be unlocked via a large amount of Phonic Gain.

Furthermore, Symphogear users can access its {{nihongo|Superb Song|絶唱|Zesshō}}, an extremely powerful attack that can normally be used in critical situations, though the damage inflicted by the Superb Song is determined by the compatibility coefficients, if the coefficient of compatibility is high, less damage will be done. In some worst cases, using a Superb Song while in a critical condition, or when the effects of "LiNKER" wearing off, can lead to fatal feedback for the user, potentially killing them and/or their Symphogear in the process.

Symphogears can only be used by compatible Candidates, though some characters can bypass the synchronization requirement, either through the use of a "LiNKER" drug or by being fused with a relic.

;{{nihongo|Hibiki Tachibana|立花響|Tachibana Hibiki}}
:{{animevoices|[[Aoi Yūki]]}}
:A cheerful, rather childish but sometimes cautious schoolgirl who attends the same school as Tsubasa. Two years ago, while attending a Zwei Wing concert, she was nearly killed by the Noise, barely surviving thanks to the sacrifice of Kanade, who taught her never to accept death. During the first episode, when she becomes cornered by the Noise, she sings the same song she heard Kanade sing and ends up gaining Symphogear powers due a fragment of Kanade's armor that entered her body that day. Whenever she becomes really angry, she sometimes enters a state of frenzy. She is seen capable of using Durandal, and uses it in the final battle against Finé with the help of her friends. She was thought to be dead after destroying a large section of the moon to save Earth, along with Tsubasa and Chris, but she actually survived, along with the others.

:In the second season, it is shown that the Gungnir relic is spreading through her body, growing more with every transformation, which gives her increasingly explosive power but will eventually lead to Gungnir bursting out from inside her body and killing her. She manages to cure this thanks to the laser from Miku's gear removing hers, completely cleanse her body of Gungnir fragment thus fully disabling her transformation. In the final battle at the Frontier she manages to revive her Symphogear by using energy from Maria's Gungnir. Her past is also revealed that she was bullied due to her survival from the previous attack.

:In the epilogue of the fourth season, it is revealed that Hibiki and Miku were purged from the "original sin", or more accurately the Curse of Balal, when they were hit by the ShenshouJing's negating laser. This might be the reason why Hibiki turned into a Divine Weapon when the divine power is fused within her in the near season finale.

:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-r03'''''', codenamed {{nihongo|''[[Gungnir]]''|ガングニール|Gangunīru}}, which originally belonged to Kanade. However, since it is only a fragment, she originally possesses less armor compared to the original, though the armor itself is capable of transforming in the same manner as an Armed Gear to a limited degree. She compensates for this by specializing in powerful martial arts, using short bursts of energy and multiple pistons in its armor to power her punches or launch herself at great distances. Her Armed Gear is her hands, figuratively and literally, which materialized as numerous types of piston or jet-powered gauntlets, as well as to absorb the excess energy generated by other Symphogears' Superb Song and redirect it into a combination attack. After regaining her Symphogear through Maria's relic near the end of ''G'', she has since having access to jet-powered gauntlets or a drill as her Armed Gear.
:She is also notable that unlike the remaining gear users, she doesn't possess any significant weapons arming on her side except for her hands, which have been upgraded with powerful punching abilities.

;{{nihongo|Tsubasa Kazanari|風鳴翼|Kazanari Tsubasa}}
:{{animevoices|[[Nana Mizuki]]}}
:A girl who has the power to use Symphogear armor, which uses music to fight off against aliens known as Noise. She was formerly a part of a duo known as {{nihongo|"Zwei Wing"|ツヴァイウィング|Tsuvaiwingu|lit. ''Two Wings''}}, but her partner, Kanade, sacrificed herself fighting the Noise and she has since been fighting the Noise alone. After the death of her partner Kanade, to whom she is rather attached with after witnessing Kanade's urge to fight the noise, Tsubasa became quiet, cold and aloof. She is very reluctant to work with Hibiki, refusing to accept her as Kanade's replacement, but she and Hibiki eventually get to be good friends. She is also a rather popular pop idol, though she refuses to sing in concerts or accept proposals to release her songs internationally, viewing herself only as a weapon that sings only to fight. However, after "talking" to Kanade after singing her superb song, Tsubasa starts to open up to Hibiki, and even sings in the place where Kanade was killed, and later, accepting a contract overseas. She "dies" in the explosion of Kadingir, when she destroys it, but was revived with the Symphogear. She was thought to be dead once again after destroying a large section of the moon to save Earth, along with Hibiki and Chris, but she actually survived, along with the others. Her weapon is a katana. Officially she is granddaughter and the first heir of Fudō Kazanari (which later be the villain in ''XV'' when he and Yatsuhiro discuss about the divine power and getting it for themselves), the current head of Kazanari family, daughter of Yatsuhiro Kazanari, a high-ranking national security official, and niece of Genjūrō Kazanari, commander of Special Disaster Response Team Section Two. Biologically she is the daughter of Fudō Kazanari and younger half-sister of Yatsuhiro and Genjūrō Kazanari.
:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-r01''''', codenamed {{nihongo|''Ame no Habakiri''|天羽々斬}} ([[Totsuka-no-Tsurugi]]), a Symphogear designed for precise close-quarters combat due to its ability to manifest blades all over the user's body. Her Armed Gear is a katana, which can increase its size to match the power needed to overpower stronger Noise.

;{{nihongo|Chris Yukine|雪音クリス|Yukine Kurisu}}
:{{animevoices|[[Ayahi Takagaki]]}}
:A mysterious half-Japanese girl who works under the main villain, Finé. Chris wields the stolen {{nihongo|[[Nehushtan]] Armor|ネフシュタンの鎧|Nefushutan no Yoroi}}, and has the ability to summon and command Noise at will through the use of a relic called "Solomon's Cane"; she also possesses a Symphogear, but refuses to use it because of her hatred of singing. Chris works with Finé in order to fulfill her wish of stopping wars by killing all those with the power and will to fight. This is because, eight years prior, Chris' parents {{nihongo|'''Masanori Yukine'''|雪音雅律|Yukine Masanori}} and {{nihongo|'''Sonnet M. Yukine'''|ソネット・M・ユキネ|Sonetto Emu Yukine}} took Chris with them to South America to use music performances to help the refugees of a civil war. However, Masanori and Sonnet were killed in a terrorist bombing, and Chris herself was kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. Two years before the series, she was rescued by the UN and returned to Japan; Section Two then arranged to take her in, but Chris was instead kidnapped by Finé to be used as a tool for her plans. However, Finé ends up abandoning Chris when Chris does not live up to her expectations. Chris then sides with Hibiki and Tsubasa against Finé. Chris "dies" while trying to protect the moon from Finé's Kadingir, fulfilling her parents' dream of bringing peace to the world with her song, but Chris is later revived by the song of the Lydian students. Chris is thought to be dead once again after destroying a large section of the moon to save Earth, along with Tsubasa and Hibiki, but she manages to survive. Afterwards, Chris officially joins the Special Disaster Response Team Section Two.
:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-r02''''', codenamed {{nihongo|''Ichaival''<ref>Transcription from season two's opening.</ref>|イチイバル<ref>Also known as Yewfelle, a holy bow from [[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War]]</ref>}}, a Symphogear specialized for long-ranged supportive offense. Her Armed Gear is a crossbow, but due to Chris' violent imagination, it can change into several types of guns and missiles, sometimes able to wield multiple guns and missiles all at once.

;{{nihongo|Maria Cadenzavna Eve|マリア・カデンツァヴナ・イヴ|Maria Kadentsavuna Ivu|Марія Кадензавна Єва}}
:{{animevoices|[[Yōko Hikasa]]}}
:Debuting in ''Symphogear G''. An energetic singer of Ukrainian origin, who reached the top of the American music charts about two months after her debut. Although it has a mysterious quality, her vigorous singing voice has crossed over international borders and garnered a large number of wild and enthusiastic fans throughout the world. To bring forth justice, she has risen as an enemy against all of humanity, clad in a Gungnir Symphogear that is outside of the Japanese government's control. Her weapon is a second Gungnir, with a spear similar in form to Kanade's but with different features including a powerful cannon mode. Maria initially claims to be the newest reincarnation of Finé, but this is eventually revealed to be a ruse. Like Kanade, Maria is reliant on LiNKER to maintain synchronization with her Symphogear, giving her a time limit in battle and causing her superb song to be potentially fatal. In GX she briefly uses Hibiki's Gungnir to protect her friends from the Alca-Noise, and later thanks to Elfnein she starts using Serena's relic [[Nuada Airgetlám|Airgetlam]].
:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-x00''''', codenamed {{nihongo|Airgetlam|アガートラーム|Agātorāmu}}, a special Syphogear known for its versatility and adaptability.

:{{animevoices|[[Yoshino Nanjō]]}}
:Debuting in ''Symphogear G''. One of the mysterious Symphogear users who coordinates with Maria's team. Although she appears docile on the outside, she is actually a bold tactician that has frequently used any means necessary to meet her goals. She harbors strong feelings of distrust against Hibiki, who has been named a hero after saving the Earth from a moon fragment, and she will constantly belittle Hibiki's actions by calling her a "hypocrite". Later in the battle between her and Kirika, it is revealed that she is the true host of the reincarnated Finé. In GX, she is redeemed and regrets her actions before she personally apologizes to Hibiki.
:In XV, it is revealed that prior to arriving at FIS, she was caught in a car accident that killed her parents and gave her amnesia. As a result, she does not remember her real name. Her current name was one assigned to her based on the belongings she had with her at the time.
:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-i01''''', codenamed {{nihongo|Shul Shagana|シュルシャガナ|Shuru Shagana}}, a Syphogear designed for mobility and lethality, with her Armed Gear being the many disc blades stored in several parts of her body.

;{{nihongo|Kirika Akatsuki|暁切歌|Akatsuki Kirika}}
:{{animevoices|[[Ai Kayano]]}}
:Debuting in ''Symphogear G''. Kirika is another one of the mysterious Symphogear users. Although she has a very straightforward cheerful and cooperative personality, she harbors a shadowy past as one of the "Receptor Children" who was treated as an observation subject at a certain research facility along with Maria, Serena, Shirabe and others. The bonds between Kirika and her friends are so strong that she feels no fear from fighting against the entire world. Thought to be the true host of the reincarnated Finé when she suddenly uses Finé's powers to protect herself and Shirabe from falling debris, it is later revealed in the battle between her and Shirabe, that Shirabe is the actual host. Stressed with the loss of her assumed identity Kirika attempts suicide with Igalima out of guilt resulting in Igalima killing Shirabe by accident when moving Kirika out of the path of the attack.

:In a flashback in AXZ Episode 9, back to when Kirika and Shirabe first met Kirika said she didn't remember her birthday. One episode later, after nearly killing herself with the result in a LiNKER overdose she tells Hibiki how she never knew her own birthday and how she wants everyone to be happy on them at any cost before falling unconscious.
:Her character songs from G and GX mention small parts of her past. "Tegami" mentions how she probably lived in famine conditions, while "Okitegami" says that she's a bombing victim. Out of everyone, Kirika doesn't have any trace of blood family nor any memories of her past. Her history is the most unknown along with Shirabe. She often ends her sentences with Death {{nihongo|Desu|デス}}.
: Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-i02''''', codenamed {{nihongo|Igalima|イガリマ|Igarima}}, a Symphogear made to deal with multiple hordes of Noise at once. Her Armed Gear is a scythe, which can change its appearance for increased lethality.

;{{nihongo|Miku Kohinata|小日向未来|Kohinata Miku}}
:{{animevoices|[[Yuka Iguchi]]}}
:Hibiki's best friend, who shares a dorm with her. After a Noise attack, she figures out Hibiki's secret, where they have a little trouble in their friendship, but Miku eventually joins Special Disaster Response Team Section Two to help Hibiki. In the second season, she is controlled and corrupted by Dr. Ver into becoming the user of the relic ''Shénshòujìng'' as a part of his plans to locate and unlock the Frontier. She is freed from it after Hibiki puts her in the path of her own negating laser. In ''XDU'', Miku uses the Shenshoujing to fight Hibiki's alternate counterpart from a parallel world.
:In the epilogue of the fourth season, it is revealed that Hibiki and Miku were purged from the "original sin", or more accurately the Curse of Balal, when they were hit by the Shenshoujing's negating laser.
:Her Symphogear is the '''''SG-i03''''', codenamed {{nihongo|[[Shinju-kyo|Shénshòujìng]]|神獣鏡|Shenshōjin|lit. "God Beast Mirror"}}, a Symphogear made to negate relics and its powers. Her Armed Gear are several reflective mirrors she can use to fire lasers that can negate the effects of relics.

:Tsubasa's former partner who fought alongside her. Five years ago, when her family was killed in a Noise attack, she was given harsh medical treatment to make her body compatible with the Gungnir relic, to which she consented to, hoping to avenge them. She had since performed alongside Tsubasa, growing an appreciation for letting others hear her songs and forming the vocal duo, Zwei Wing. Two years ago, she sacrificed herself to protect Hibiki during a Noise attack, singing her superb song which destroyed them and herself. During the attack, a piece of her armor was implanted in Hibiki's body, allowing her to use the same powers. She continues to support Tsubasa in her times of need through her spirit and Tsubasa's dreams.

He blames himself for his agents not being able to find Chris when she was kidnapped by Finé two years ago, but Genjūrō and Chris make up and she willingly cooperates with Tsubasa and Hibiki under Genjūrō's supervision only.

Ryōko is revealed to be in actuality the main antagonist, Finé, who had possessed Ryōko's body and erased her consciousness long ago, for Finé's ultimate goal of using the power of Kadingir ([[Sumerian language|Sumerian name]] of [[Babylon]]) to destroy the moon and bring about chaos on Earth.

===Antagonists===
;{{nihongo|Finé|フィーネ|Fīne}}
:{{animevoices|[[Miyuki Sawashiro]]}}
:A mysterious woman responsible for Chris' attacks on Special Disaster Response Team Section Two. Finé wants to kidnap Hibiki in order to experiment on her fusion with Gungnir, as well as take the relics gathered by Section Two for her plans. Finé works with the American government to secure the relics and funding needed for her goals, and was the one who caused the Zwei Wing concert tragedy and stole the Nehushtan Armor two years prior to the series. Finé is convinced that only pain can unite human hearts, and uses this as a reason for whenever she sexually abuses or tortures Chris for punishment or entertainment. After Chris fails to live up to her expectations, Finé abandons her and takes the Nehushtan Armor for her own use. Finé's ultimate goal is to use the ion particle cannon, Kadingir, to destroy the moon, freeing humanity of the [[confusion of tongues|Curse of Balal]], while also causing chaos via gravitational disturbances so that humanity will bow down in fear to her.

:Finé is an ancient priestess who had served God and in time came to love Enki, though the true nature of this love is ambiguous. She built the [[Tower of Babel]] in an attempt to reach him, but her efforts were confounded when he threw down the tower and inflicted the Curse of Balal upon humanity. Undeterred, Finé sealed her soul in her genes so that her consciousness would awaken whenever one of her descendants would be exposed to the Aufwachen (''awakening'' in German) wavelength given off by the relics. Due to this reason, she is essentially immortal, capable of resurrection so as long her DNA is passed down. Finé claims she was responsible for the paradigm shifts that had changed humanity throughout history, working through the bodies of her descendants. Finé works through Ryōko's body over the course of season one, until it is destroyed in the finale. Finé's consciousness then goes to Shirabe, but when Shirabe takes the hit which Kirika meant to commit suicide with, Finé takes the blow instead, and her soul dies protecting Shirabe.

:In ''Symphogear GX'', it is revealed by Carol that Finé was the one who began the practice of alchemy and songs as a means of uniting the world after the collapse of the Tower of Babel. In ''Symphogear AXZ'', it is further revealed that the Bavarian Illuminati in fact founded the practice of alchemy using heretical technology leftover by Finé, but Finé defeated them in order to monopolize the technology for her own means.

A researcher who was transferred from the USA's sacred relic research institution and works together with Special Disaster Response Team Section Two to analyze the Sakurai Theory, though this was quickly revealed as a ruse to secure Solomon's Cane. As an expert on biochemistry, he has demonstrated an aptitude for research involving the bonding of living organisms to sacred relics. Deeply ambitious, Ver is fascinated with the Symphogears and their users, and developed a more advanced form of the LiNKER drug that allows sync ratios to be raised by force along with a counteragent. He is also visibly insane, prone to sudden and extreme outbursts of emotion despite his normally calm demeanor. It's later revealed that he planned to make the moon crash to Earth so he can repopulate humanity himself. After the destruction of the Nephilim, he's imprisoned despite his desire of dying a hero and later on sentence to death.

:In GX, is revealed he was imprisoned in the Undersea Dragon Palace because of the merging of his left arm with the Nephilim cells and saved Carol before she was defeated. He helps Carol power up the Chateau de Tiffauges, and she stabs him once his purpose is fulfilled.

She is focused on destroying all the miracles in the world, particularly Hibiki. She has access to her own relic and can obtain an adult form in combat by sacrificing all her memories. After being defeated by Hibiki, Chris, and Tsubasa, she commits suicide in order to avoid being captured. It is later revealed that she has been resurrected following the destruction of Galie and Micha and that she has a connection to Elfnein, which allows her to use her senses. She planned for the destruction of the Autoscorers using the Ignite modes to power up the Chateau de Tiffauges and by disturbing the ley lines, she intended to use the Chateau to destroy the world and obtain all its knowledge. When Elfnein said that her father didn't want her to destroy the world, she admits that she's right, but also that she's too resentful toward the world to stop. When the Chateau de Tiffauges is destroyed, she refuses to surrender and uses all her memories to create a giant mechanical lion (based on Gregar from Mega Man Battle Network 6) to fight the heroines, only to be defeated when Hibiki combines the power of all their relics to destroy the Mechalion. She survived the battle but at the cost of all of her memories. After reconciling with the dying Elfnein, Carol and Elfnein merge into a single being so both can live at the same time, but at the great cost of erasing Carol's soul in the process. She returns in XV to help Elfnein save Miku, as well as to help the gear users (save for Hibiki) to fight Shem-Ha by providing phonic gain required to unlock the X-Drive for them. Later, she also tried to stop Shem-Ha while the gear users are in the Lunar Ruins but was defeated. After they return to Earth, she joins them for the final battle against Shem-Ha.

Greenwich Time Signal

[[File:Greenwich Time Signal pips.png|thumb|350px|Graph of the six pips]]

The '''Greenwich Time Signal''' ('''GTS'''), popularly known as '''the pips''', is a series of six short tones (or "pips") broadcast at one-second intervals by many [[BBC Radio]] [[List of BBC radio stations|stations]] to mark the precise start of each hour. The pips were introduced in 1924, generated by the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, and from 1990 were generated by the BBC in London.<ref>{{cite journal |first=Jim |last=McIlroy |title=Network Radio: New Time and Frequency distribution system |url=http://bbceng.info/Eng_Inf/eng-inf-files/EngInf40.pdf#page=5 |format=pdf |journal=Eng Inf |publisher=[[Wood Norton Hall#BBC Academy|BBC ETD]] |date=Spring 1990 |issue=40 |access-date=2024-02-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240212173449/http://bbceng.info/Eng_Inf/eng-inf-files/EngInf40.pdf#page=5 |archive-date=2024-02-12 |url-status=live}}</ref> The broadcast pips replaced an electrical time coordination system based on the railway telegraph network, which itself was an extension of the mechanical [[time ball]]s in Portsmouth (1829) and later Greenwich (1833), which enabled navigators aboard ships moored in those places to set their chronometers for the determination of longitude on voyages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Greenwich Time Service |url=http://www.royalobservatorygreenwich.org/articles.php?article=1084 |access-date=2024-02-07 |website=www.royalobservatorygreenwich.org}}</ref>

==Structure==

{{Listen|filename=Gts_ (bbc)_pips.ogg|title=Greenwich Time Signal|description=The first five pips and 1 beep}}

There are six pips (short beeps) in total, which occur on each of the 5 seconds leading up to the hour and on the hour itself. Each pip is a 1 [[SI prefix|k]][[Hertz|Hz]] tone (about a fifth of a semitone above musical [[Scientific pitch notation#Table of note frequencies|B5]]) the first five of which last a tenth of a second each, while the final pip lasts half a second. The actual moment when the hour changes – the "on-time marker" – is at the very beginning of the last pip.<ref>{{cite web|title=What's the time?|url=http://www.rmg.co.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/what%27s-the-time|work=Astronomy & Time|publisher=Royal Museums Greenwich|access-date=5 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222055748/http://www.rmg.co.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/what%27s-the-time|archive-date=22 February 2014}}</ref>

When a [[leap second]] occurs (exactly one second before midnight [[UTC]]), it is indicated by a seventh pip. In this case the first pip occurs at 23:59:55 (as usual) and there is a sixth short pip at 23:59:60 (the leap second) followed by the long pip at 00:00:00.<ref>{{cite web |title=Leap second: Keeper of the pips |website=BBC News |date=30 December 2008 | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7791709.stm |access-date=5 February 2014}}</ref> The possibility of an extra pip for the leap second thus justifies the final pip being longer than the others, so that it is always clear which pip is on the hour. Before leap seconds were conceived in 1972, the final pip was the same length as the others.<ref>{{cite web |title=The comforting tone of the hourly radio pips |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-26052087 |website=BBC News (Magazine Monitor) |date=5 February 2014 |access-date=5 February 2014}}</ref> Although "negative" leap seconds can also be used to make the year shorter, this has never happened in practice.<ref>{{cite web|title=Leap years and leap seconds|url=http://www.rmg.co.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/leap-years|publisher=Royal Museums Greenwich|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222055800/http://www.rmg.co.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/leap-years|archive-date=22 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Adjusting after a 'long' weekend at the Royal Observatory – Precision clocks and the leap second|url=http://blogs.rmg.co.uk/collections/2012/07/06/adjusting/|publisher=Royal Museums Greenwich|access-date=5 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222055748/http://blogs.rmg.co.uk/collections/2012/07/06/adjusting/|archive-date=22 February 2014}}</ref>

Although normally broadcast only on the hour by BBC domestic radio, [[BBC World Service]] uses the signal at other times as well. The signal is generated at each quarter-hour and has on occasion been broadcast in error.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Greenwich Time Signal - the 'pips' |url=https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/anniversaries/february/the-pips |access-date=2023-03-03 |website=www.bbc.com |language=en}}</ref>

==Usage==
The pips are available to BBC radio stations every fifteen minutes, but, except in rare cases, they are only broadcast on the hour, usually before news bulletins or news programmes. Normally, [[BBC Radio 4]] broadcast the pips every hour except at 18:00 and 00:00, and at 22:00 on Sundays (at the start of the Westminster Hour) when they are replaced by the striking of [[Big Ben]] at the [[Palace of Westminster]]. No time signal is broadcast at 10:00 on Sundays, before the omnibus edition of ''[[The Archers]]''. On [[BBC Radio 2]], the pips are used at 07:00, 08:00 and 17:00 on weekdays, at 07:00 and 08:00 on Saturdays and at 08:00 and 09:00 on Sundays.

The pips were used on [[BBC Radio 1]] during ''[[The Chris Moyles Show]]'' at 06:30 just after the news, 09:00 as part of the "Tedious Link" feature, 10:00 (at the end of the show) and often before ''[[Newsbeat]]''. As most stations only air the pips on the hour, ''The Chris Moyles Show'' was the only show where the pips were broadcast on the half-hour. [[Chris Moyles]] continues to use the pips at the beginning of his show on [[Radio X (United Kingdom)|Radio X]]. The pips were previously used at 19:00 on Saturday evenings at the start of Radio 1's 12-hour simulcast with digital station [[BBC Radio 1Xtra]]. The pips were also used on Radio 6 Music for a rare occurrence. It took place between 2009 and 2011 on weekdays and the pips were played at 10:00 (end of the breakfast show) and at 19:00 (end of the drive show). On [[Remembrance Day]] and [[Remembrance Sunday]], Radio 4 uses the pips at 10:59:55 to mark the start of the two minutes silence and again at 11:01:55 to mark the end. From 2000 to 2008 BBC Radio 5 live used the pips weekdays at 06:00

[[BBC Radio 3]] and [[BBC Radio 5 Live]] do not currently broadcast the pips.

The [[BBC World Service]] broadcasts the pips every hour.

Pips were also heard on many [[BBC Local Radio]] stations until the introduction of a new presentation package in 2020. A rare quarter-hour Greenwich Time Signal was heard at 05:15 weekdays on Wally Webb's programme on local radio in the east of England until it ended in March 2020, as part of his "synchronised cup of tea" feature.

In 1999, pip-like sounds were incorporated into the themes written by composer [[David Lowe (television and radio composer)|David Lowe]] to introduce [[BBC News|BBC Television News]] programmes. They are still used today on [[BBC One]], [[BBC Two]], [[BBC World News]] and [[BBC News (TV channel)|BBC News]].

The BBC does not allow the pips to be broadcast except as a time signal. Radio plays and comedies which have fictional news programmes use various methods to avoid playing the full six pips, ranging from simply fading in the pips to a version played on ''[[On the Hour]]'' in which the sound was made into a small tune between the pips. ''[[The News Quiz]]'' also featured a special Christmas pantomime edition where the pips went "missing", and the problem was avoided there by only playing individual pips. The 2012 project ''Radio Reunited'' used the pips to commemorate 90 years of BBC Radio.

==Accuracy==
The pips for national radio stations and some local radio stations are timed relative to [[UTC]], from an [[atomic clock]] in the basement of [[Broadcasting House]] synchronised with the [[National Physical Laboratory, UK|National Physical Laboratory]]'s [[Time from NPL]] and [[GPS]]. On other stations, the pips are generated locally from a [[GPS]]-synchronised clock. The broadcast pips usefulness for time [[calibration]] is diminished by the time lags involved in digital broadcasting.

The BBC compensates for the time delay in both broadcasting and receiving equipment, as well as the time for the actual transmission. The pips are timed so that they are accurately received on [[long wave]] as far as {{convert|160|km|-1}} from the [[Droitwich AM transmitter]], which is the distance to [[Central London]].

As a pre-[[IRIG timecode|IRIG]] and pre-[[Network Time Protocol|NTP]] time transfer and transmission system, the pips have been a great technological success. In modern times, however, time can be transferred to systems with CPUs and operating systems by using [[Binary-coded decimal|BCD]] or some [[Unix Time]] variant.

Newer digital broadcasting methods have introduced even greater problems for the accuracy of use of the pips. On digital platforms such as [[Digital Video Broadcasting|DVB]], [[digital audio broadcasting|DAB]], satellite and the [[Internet]], the pips—although ''generated'' accurately—are not ''heard'' by the listener exactly on the hour. The [[codec|encoding and decoding]] of the digital signal causes a delay, of usually between 2 and 8 seconds. In the case of satellite broadcasting, the [[Time of arrival|travel time]] of the signal to and from the satellite adds about another 0.25 seconds.

==History==
[[File:Greenwich Time Signal1970.jpg|thumb|right|The machine used to generate the pips in 1970]]
The pips have been broadcast daily since 5 February 1924,<ref name="bbchist">{{citation

and were the idea of the [[Astronomer Royal]], Sir [[Frank Watson Dyson]], and the head of the BBC, [[John Reith, 1st Baron Reith|John Reith]] who commissioned Marconi / Siemens in Charlton (close to Greenwich), to create the signal. The company gave the project to an 18 year old engineer, Harry Lampen Edwards who was seconded to the Observatory. The pips were originally controlled by two mechanical clocks located in the [[Royal Greenwich Observatory]] that had electrical contacts attached to their [[pendulum|pendula]]. Two clocks were used in case of a breakdown of one. These sent a signal each second to the BBC, which converted them to the audible oscillatory tone broadcast.<ref name="bbchist"/>

The Royal Greenwich Observatory moved to [[Herstmonceux Castle]] in 1957 and the GTS equipment followed a few years later in the form of an electronic clock. Reliability was improved by renting two lines for the service between Herstmonceux and the BBC, with a changeover between the two at [[Broadcasting House]] if the main line became disconnected.

The tone sent on the lines was inverted: the signal sent to the BBC was a steady 1 kHz tone when no pip was required, and no tone when a pip should be sounded. This let faults on the line be detected immediately by automated monitoring for loss of audio.

The Greenwich Time Signal was the first sound heard in the handover to the [[2012 Summer Olympics|London 2012 Olympics]] during the [[2008 Summer Olympics closing ceremony|Beijing 2008 Olympics closing ceremony]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Baton Passed to London for 2012 |first=Peter | last=Simpson |url=http://olympics.scmp.com/Article.aspx?id=3411&section=latestnews |newspaper=South China Morning Post |date=25 August 2008 |access-date=24 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322024520/http://olympics.scmp.com/Article.aspx?id=3411&section=latestnews |archive-date=22 March 2012 }}</ref>

The pips were also broadcast by the [[BBC Television Service]], but this practice was discontinued by the 1960s.

To celebrate the 90th birthday of the pips on 5 February 2014, the ''[[Today (BBC Radio 4)|Today]]'' programme broadcast a sequence that included a re-working of the Happy Birthday melody using the GTS as its base sound.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01rqqkn|last=Lister|first=Charles|title=The 'time pips' at 90|date=5 February 2014|access-date=30 April 2016}}</ref>

==Crashing the pips==
The [[BBC]] discourages any other sound being broadcast at the same time as the pips; doing so is commonly known as "crashing the pips". This was most often referred to on [[Terry Wogan]]'s Radio 2 Breakfast show, although usually only in jest since the actual event happened rarely.<ref name="sue">{{cite news |title=Pip, pip! Woman of Today is gone tomorrow |author=Tom Leonard |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1386296/Pip-pip-Woman-of-Today-is-gone-tomorrow.html |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=28 February 2002 |access-date=18 November 2012}}</ref> Different BBC Radio stations approach this issue differently. Radio 1 and Radio 2 generally take a relaxed approach with the pips, usually playing them over the closing seconds of a song or a jingle "bed" (background music from a jingle), followed by their respective news jingles. Many BBC local radio stations also played the pips over the station's jingle before the 2020 rebrand. BBC Radio 4 is stricter, as it is an almost entirely speech-based network.

As a contribution to [[Comic Relief]]'s 2005 [[Red Nose Day]], the BBC developed a "pips" ring-tone which could be downloaded.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/arts/rednose_ringtones_20050307.shtml |title=The Radio 4 Pips – How you download the pips |date=March 2005 |work=[[Today (BBC Radio 4)|Today Programme]] |publisher=[[BBC News]] |access-date=18 November 2012}}</ref>

[[Bill Bailey]]'s BBC Rave includes the [[BBC News (TV channel)#Countdown sequence|BBC News theme]], which incorporates a variant of the pips (though not actually broadcast exactly on the hour). The footage can be seen on his DVD ''Part Troll''.

In the late 1980s Radio 1 featured the pips played over a station [[jingle]] during [[Jackie Brambles|Jakki Brambles]]' early show and [[Simon Mayo]]'s breakfast show. This was not strictly "crashing the pips" as they were not intended to be used as an accurate time signal.

==Technical problems==
At 8 am on 17 September 2008, to the surprise of [[John Humphrys]], the day's main presenter on the ''Today'' programme, and [[Johnnie Walker (DJ)|Johnnie Walker]], who was standing in for Terry Wogan on Radio 2, the pips went "adrift" by six seconds, and broadcast seven pips rather than six. This was traced to a problem with the pip generator, which was rectified by [[power cycling|switching it off and on again]].<ref>{{citation

}}</ref> Part of Humphrys' surprise was probably because of his deliberate avoidance of crashing the pips with the help of an accurate clock in the studio.

A sudden total failure in the generation of the audio pulses that constitute the pips was experienced on 31 May 2011 and silence was unexpectedly broadcast in place of the 17:00 signal. The problem was traced to the power supply of the equipment which converts the signal from the atomic clocks into an audible signal.<ref name=blog>{{cite web |url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio4/2011/06/what_happened_to_the_radio_4_p.html |title= What happened to the Radio 4 pips? |author= Denis Nowlan |date= 1 June 2011 |work= Radio 4 and 4 Extra Blog |publisher= BBC |access-date=2 June 2011}}</ref> Whilst repairs were underway the BBC elected to broadcast a "dignified silence" in place of the pips at 19:00.<ref>{{cite news |title= Radio 4's pips die |author= Harry Wallop |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8548683/Radio-4s-pips-die.html |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130421065620/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8548683/Radio-4s-pips-die.html |archive-date= 21 April 2013 |newspaper= The Telegraph |date= 31 May 2011 |access-date=31 May 2011}}</ref> By 19:45 the same day the power supply was repaired<ref name=blog/> and the 20:00 pips were broadcast as normal.<ref>[http://radiotoday.co.uk/2011/05/bbc-radio-4-reports-on-pips-failure/ "The Pips return from a 3 hour break" ''Radio Today'' 31 May 2011] Retrieved 31 May 2011.</ref>

Many radio broadcasters around the world use the Greenwich Time Signal, or a variant thereof, as a means to mark the start of the hour. The pips are used in both domestic and international commercial and public broadcasting. Many radio stations use six tones similar to those used by the BBC World Service; some shorten it to five, four, or three tones. On some broadcasters the final pip is of a different pitch.

* [[Argentina]] – All news/talk stations (Radio Nacional, Radio Mitre, Radio Continental, Radio 10, Cadena 3, etc.) air the six pips similar to the BBC every hour, and 3 pips for every half-hour similar to Catalonia.

Until late 2012, the time signal is simply a short pip on the 59th second before the hour and a longer pip on the top of the hour. In a news report in [[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]] on 1 January 1982, the pips were used to sound similar to the BBC's.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}
* [[Netherlands]] – In the NPO (Netherlands Public Broadcasting), the signals have been around since 1948, when six pips were used. In1991 they went down to three. Broadcast of the traditional pips stopped with the last transmission at 7:00 on 2 October 2018, leading way to a new design with three pips that count down to exactly the full hour and make way for a short tune.<ref>{{Citation |title=Vanaf vandaag: vernieuwde 'pips' op NPO Radio 1 |url=https://www.nporadio1.nl/homepage/12058-vanaf-maandag-vernieuwde-pips-op-npo-radio-1 |access-date=11 November 2019 |language=nl}}</ref> Other radio stations may still use the traditional beeps at every hour.

[[Polskie Radio Program I|Polskie Radio Jedynka]] does not broadcast the pips on Sundays, 3 May (Polish Constitution Day), 15 August (Polish Armed Forces Day) and 11 November (Polish Independence Day) at 9:00 in the morning, due to the broadcasts of The Holy Mass and the Special Presentation. [[Polskie Radio 24]] does not broadcast the pips on special reports and presentations. The pips are not being broadcast on [[Polskie Radio Program IV|Polskie Radio Czwórka]], [[Radio Poland|Polskie Radio dla Zagranicy]], other digital radio stations and [[Polskie Radio Program III|Polskie Radio Trójka]] sińce 2023. The pips in commercial radio are broadcast on [[RMF FM]] (5 little pips (since 2001 to 2003) and 4 little pips (since 2003 to now)) before newscast in each hour, but before 2001, the pips broadcasting only at midnight (5 little pips) on 31 December/1 January each New Year. In 1990-2002 they were used on(four pips) [[Radio ZET]] before newscast and welcoming the year.

* [[Russia]] - Russia's state radio channels broadcast 6 tones (5 little pips and 1 short beep). The duration of the 6th pip depends on the current hour: it's 100 ms at midnight (00:00) Moscow time ([[UTC+3]]) and increases by 20 ms every hour, up to 560 ms at 23:00 UTC+3 (the first 5 pips always are 100 ms long). Russia's state television [[Channel One Russia|Channel One]] broadcasts 6 tones too (at the end of a short melody) before newscasts and [[Vremya]] (the primetime news program).<ref>{{Citation |title=Russia - Channel One - Vremya («Время») - Intro/Outro (Russia Day - 12/06/2022) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbtPWSX3Dcg&t=10 |language=en-GB |access-date=17 December 2022}}</ref>

* [[Spain]] – The signal is broadcast by almost all radio stations, even by music stations, but depends on the frequency: music stations usually use pips on the hour, but most of the non-musical stations broadcast the signal every 30 minutes. Los [[40 Principales]], the most important music radio in Spain, broadcast a different version of GTS: two first pips sound and then a music is added on the background, using the rhythm to create the corporative jingle of the radio. This station in particular uses only 4 pips, typically the two last using two different frequencies (resulting in a modern rhythm). Other musical radios like [[Máxima FM]] and [[M80 Radio]], both owned by [[PRISA]], and Europa FM use a similar effect.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}
* [[Sri Lanka]] – [[Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation]] uses GTS pips on their radio channels to mark the start of the hour at each main newscast just after playing the news theme music. Other stations do not use pips.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}
* [[United States]] – [[CBS News Radio]] broadcasts a single tone on the hour before the hourly news broadcasts.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} This is also the case for all-news radio stations such as [[WINS (AM)|WINS]] in New York. {{citation needed|date=July 2022}}
* former [[Yugoslavia]] – JRT broadcast the six pips before the news (on the hour) on radio as well as on television, before the start of the ''TV Dnevnik'' at 8:00 pm. The broadcast on TV was stopped in 1974 because the ''TV Dnevnik'' was moved to its current term at the bottom of the hour (7:30 pm).{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}
* [[Vietnam]] – At the beginning of every hour, bells can be heard, then an announcer reads "It is now ... o'clock?", used on [[Voice of Ho Chi Minh City]], [[Voice of Vietnam]]'s VOV3 and some local stations : Long An, Bình Dương, Bình Phước, Cần Thơ, An Giang. A 6-pip time signal is broadcast on the first and second channels of the Voice of Vietnam before the news and information programs at 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 9:00 PM, following the "Praising the President Ho" melody.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

* The reigning Copa América champions, Argentina, were seeded into Group A
* The reigning CONCACAF Gold Cup champions, Mexico, were seeded into Group B
* The highest ranked CONCACAF team in the October 2023 [[FIFA Men's World Rankings|FIFA World Rankings]], the United States, was seeded into Group C

== Symbols ==

=== Mascot ===

The tournament's official mascot was unveiled on December 7, 2023, during the group stage draw. It's an eagle named "Capitán", which is a Spanish word meaning captain. The inspiration for the choice of an eagle as the mascot for the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024, was born from the symbolism that this majestic animal has in various cultures of the Americas, illustrating strength, boldness, and excellence.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CAPITÁN will be the official mascot of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 |url=https://copaamerica.com/news/capitan-sera-la-mascota-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=copaamerica.com |language=en-US |archive-date=January 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106043731/https://copaamerica.com/news/capitan-sera-la-mascota-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Match ball ===

The match balls of this tournament will be provided by Puma for the first time after 20 years of partnership with [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] ended in 2023. The "Puma Cumbre" was unveiled during the draw for the Group Stage of the competition on December 7, 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PUMA Cumbre: the official ball of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 |url=https://copaamerica.com/news/puma-cumbre-el-balon-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=copaamerica.com |language=|archive-date=January 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106021638/https://copaamerica.com/news/puma-cumbre-el-balon-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Music ===
Instead of one official song, multiple songs, in Spanish (the tournament's official language) and English (the main language of the host country), will be used for the tournament.

A customized version of "[[Puntería]]" by Colombian singer [[Shakira]] serves as the Spanish-language official song of the tournament, with it also being used for [[TUDN (brand)|TUDN]]'s coverage.<ref>https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/shakiras-punteria-televisaunivision-copa-america-coverage-song-2024-1235683010/</ref>

==History==
{{For timeline}}

===Early years===
The BBC World Service began on 19 December 1932 as the '''BBC Empire Service''', broadcasting on [[Shortwave listening|shortwave]]<ref name="WS closures 2005 analysis">{{cite news|last= Repa|first= Jan|title= Analysis: BBC's voice in Europe|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4375652.stm|access-date= 16 July 2012|work= BBC News|date= 25 October 2005|archive-date= 27 July 2008|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080727002945/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4375652.stm|url-status= live}}</ref> and aimed principally at [[English language|English speakers]] across the [[British Empire]]. In his first [[Royal Christmas Message#George V|Christmas Message]] (1932), [[King George V]] characterised the service as intended for "men and women, so cut off by the snow, the desert, or the sea, that only voices out of the air can reach them".<ref name="Historic moments 30s">{{cite web|title= Historic moments from the 1930s|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1122_75_years/page2.shtml|publisher= BBC World Service|access-date= 16 July 2012|archive-date= 2 May 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130502144345/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1122_75_years/page2.shtml|url-status= live}}</ref> First hopes for the Empire Service were low. The [[Director-General of the BBC|Director-General]], [[John Reith, 1st Baron Reith|Sir John Reith]], said in the opening programme:

<blockquote>Don't expect too much in the early days; for some time we shall transmit comparatively simple programmes, to give the best chance of intelligible reception and provide evidence as to the type of material most suitable for the service in each zone. The programmes will neither be very interesting nor very good.<ref name="Historic moments 30s"/><ref>Transcribed from recording on World Service 75th Anniversary DVD; full extract transmitted as part of opening program – the Reith Global Debate – of the 'Free to Speak' 75th anniversary season</ref></blockquote>

=== World War II ===

The BBC would continue to claim independence from the Government during the war,{{sfn | Plock | 2021 | p=}}{{rp|25}} but as Asa Briggs noted, a complete picture of the wartime BBC would have to include 'persistent references' to the various connected agencies of the government.{{sfn | Briggs | 1995 | p=}}{{rp|393}} Chiefly, the [[Political Warfare Executive]], responsible for all broadcasts to Europe.{{sfn | Milland | 1998 | pp=353–373}}{{rp|354}}

On 3 January 1938 the first foreign-language service was launched—in Arabic. Programmes in German, Italian and French began broadcasting on 27 September 1938 projecting the British quest for peace in the days prior to the conference on the [[Munich Agreement]].

By the end of 1942, the BBC had started broadcasts in all major European languages. The Empire Service was renamed the '''BBC Overseas Service''' in November 1939, supplemented by the addition of a dedicated BBC European Service from 1941. Funding for these services—known administratively as the '''External Services of the BBC'''—came not from the domestic [[radio licence|licence fee]] but from government [[grant-in-aid]] (from the Foreign Office budget).{{Citation needed|date= July 2017}}

[[File:Aldwych, Bush House, WC2 - geograph.org.uk - 668798.jpg|thumb|right|[[Bush House]] in London was home to the World Service between 1941 and 2012.]]

The External Services broadcast propaganda during the [[Second World War]], on the German-language service {{ill|Londoner Rundfunk|de}} especially against Nazi rule, believed in the early days of the war at least to have weak support.{{sfn | Seul | 2015 | pp=378–396}} Its French service ''{{lang|fr|[[Radio Londres]]}}'' also sent coded messages to the [[French Resistance]]. [[George Orwell]] broadcast many news bulletins on the '''Eastern Service''' during the Second World War.<ref>{{Cite book|title= Orwell: The War Broadcasts|isbn= 0-563-20327-7|editor-last=West|editor-first= W.

=== Cold War ===

The 1956 [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|Hungarian uprising]] held enormous implications for international radio broadcasting as it related to western foreign policy during the Cold War. Western broadcasts (especially the US's [[Radio Free Europe|RFE]]) incited an expectation of support that had already been decided against by President Eisenhower.<ref>{{harvnb|Rawnsley|1996|p=67-68}}: On the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|Hungarian uprising]] and the [[Radio Free Europe|RFE]]'s role: "The United Nations Special Committee which investigated the crisis in 1957 concluded that RFE had 'aroused an expectation of support'. In terms of apportioning responsibility, however, this means very little." ''(continued)''</ref>{{rp|67-68}} The BBC, unlike other broadcasters, did not lose credibility in the crisis. It showed sensitivity and acted as its own censor when diplomacy may have been jeopardised otherwise.<ref>{{harvnb|Rawnsley|1996|p=72}}: Rawnsley in the context of the BBC's reporting on the uprising wrote: "Thus despite what its critics assert about Suez the BBC was certainly sensitive of its power and often acted as its own censor where diplomacy may have been jeopardised."</ref>{{rp|72}}

In stark contrast stood the BBC's reporting on the [[Suez Crisis]] of the same year. Although the British government tried to censor the BBC, it continued its even-handed reporting to both home as well as all foreign audiences.{{sfn | Goodwin | 2005}}{{rp|109–114}} The row had the government seriously consider taking over the service when then prime minister [[Anthony Eden]] wanted to ensure that only the government line—that the British and French only invaded Eqypt to keep peace and because its president [[Nasser]] was breaking international law—would reach the home (and international) audience.{{sfn | Economic and Political Weekly | 1968 | p=1680}}<ref name="fairhall20110630">{{Cite news |last=Fairhall |first=John |date=30 June 2011 |title=Drama sparks Suez Crisis memories |url=http://www.edp24.co.uk/norfolk-life/drama_sparks_suez_crisis_memories_1_949446 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102190920/http://www.edp24.co.uk/norfolk-life/drama_sparks_suez_crisis_memories_1_949446 |archive-date=2 November 2014 |access-date=21 January 2015 |work=[[Eastern Daily Press]]}}</ref>

By the end of the 1940s the number of broadcast languages had expanded and reception had improved, following the opening of a relay in [[British Malaya|Malaya]] and of the [[Limassol BBC Relay|Limassol relay]] in [[British Cyprus|Cyprus]] in 1957.

Also in 1957, a number of foreign language services were discontinued, or reduced.{{sfn | Rawnsley | 1996 }}{{rp|3}}

In 1962, the [[Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office|Foreign Office]] argued that the [[VOA]]'s philosophy, as presented to it by its then director [[Henry Loomis]], not to broadcast to fully-developed allied countries in their respective languages should be adopted by the BBC. The reluctance of the BBC to drop those services was predicted also.{{sfn | Rawnsley | 1996 }}{{rp|2}}

On 1 May 1965 the service took its current name of '''BBC World Service'''.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/history/story/2007/02/070122_html_60s.shtml|title= The 1960s|publisher= BBC World Service|access-date= 25 April 2010|archive-date= 8 November 2011|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111108042303/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/history/story/2007/02/070122_html_60s.shtml|url-status= live}}</ref> It expanded its reach with the opening of the [[Ascension Island transmitting station|Ascension Island relay]] in 1966, serving African audiences with a stronger signal and better reception, and with the later relay on the Island of [[Masirah Island|Masirah]] in Oman.

In August 1985 the service went off-air for the first time when workers went on strike in protest at the [[British government]]'s decision to ban a documentary featuring an interview with [[Martin McGuinness]] of [[Sinn Féin]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Thomas |first=Jo |date=8 August 1985 |title=British Newscasts Stopped by Strike |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/08/08/world/british-newscasts-stopped-by-strike.html |access-date=6 March 2021 |archive-date=25 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125155225/http://www.nytimes.com/1985/08/08/world/british-newscasts-stopped-by-strike.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=DeYoung |first=Karen |date=7 August 1985 |title=BBC World Service Falls Silent |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/08/07/bbc-world-service-falls-silent/057453eb-f526-49f4-962c-8fb8045c2ab6/ |access-date=6 March 2021 |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318142421/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/08/07/bbc-world-service-falls-silent/057453eb-f526-49f4-962c-8fb8045c2ab6/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=8 August 1985 |title=Strike halts BBC News Worldwide |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-08-08-ca-3574-story.html |access-date=6 March 2021 |work=Los Angeles Times |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318142434/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-08-08-ca-3574-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Subsequently, financial pressures decreased the number and the types of services offered by the BBC. Audiences in countries with wide access to [[Internet]] services have less need for terrestrial radio.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} Broadcasts in German ended in March 1999, after research showed that the majority of German listeners tuned into the English-language service. Broadcasts in [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], French, [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], Italian, Japanese and [[Malay language|Malay]] stopped for similar reasons.

In 2007, the last FM broadcast of [[BBC News Russian]] was discontinued at the order of the Russian government.

In 2011, BBC Kyrgyz service newsreader and producer {{ill|Arslan Koichiev|ky}} resigned from his BBC post after revelations and claims of involvement in the [[Kyrgyz Revolution of 2010|Kyrgyzstan revolution of April 2010]]. He had been based in London, but often travelled to Kyrgyzstan and used BBC resources to agitate against President [[Kurmanbek Bakiyev]], appearing on a Kyrgyz radio station under a pseudonym with a disguised voice. One of the leaders of the revolution, Aliyasbek Alymkulov, named the producer as his mentor and claimed that they had discussed preparations for the revolution.<ref name=revolt>{{cite news |date=7 April 2011 |title=BBC man quits after claims he helped to topple president in Kyrgyzstan revolt |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/bbc-man-quits-after-claims-he-helped-to-topple-president-in-kyrgyzstan-revolt-6389723.html |work=Evening Standard |location=London |access-date=5 April 2018 |archive-date=2 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202081421/http://www.standard.co.uk/news/bbc-man-quits-after-claims-he-helped-to-topple-president-in-kyrgyzstan-revolt-6389723.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In October 2010, the UK government announced that it was reducing the service’s revenue funding by 16% and its capital funding by 52% by 2017. This necessitated over 650 staff leaving. Funding from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office would end in April 2014, when funding would mainly be from the television licence fee. From 2010, the service started transforming from a mainly radio-based operation to multi-media.<ref name=nao-20160607>{{cite web |url=https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BBC-World-Service-1.pdf |title=BBC World Service |pages=5–6 |publisher=National Audit Office |date=7 June 2016 |access-date=19 January 2023}}</ref>

In January 2011, the closure of the Albanian, Macedonian, and Serbian, as well as English for the Caribbean and Portuguese for Africa, services was announced. The British government announced that the three [[Balkans|Balkan]] countries had wide access to international information, and so broadcasts in the local languages had become unnecessary.<ref>{{cite news |title= BBC World Service to cut five language services |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12277413 |access-date= 18 July 2012 |work= BBC News |date= 26 January 2011 |archive-date= 26 January 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110126044945/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12277413 |url-status= live }}</ref> This decision reflected the financial situation the Corporation faced following transfer of responsibility for the Service from the Foreign Office, so that it would in future have been funded from within licence-fee income.

In 2012 London staff moved from [[Bush House]] to [[Broadcasting House]], so co-located with other [[BBC News]] departments. About 35% of its 1,518 full-time equivalent staff in 2014 were based overseas at 115 locations. From 2014 the service became part of [[BBC World News|World Service Group]] under the Director of BBC News and Current Affairs.<ref name=nao-20160607/>

From 2016, 1,100 additional staff were recruited as part of an expansion of the World Service, about a 70% increase, funded by the [[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office]] providing £254 million/year for five years, partly a reversal of the government decision that the television licence fee would fund the service from 2014.<ref name=nao-20231217>{{cite web |url=https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/BBC-savings-and-reforms.pdf |title=BBC savings and reform |id=HC 958 |publisher=National Audit Office |pages=s6,22 |date=17 December 2023 |access-date=18 January 2023}}</ref><ref name=holl-20221124/> This was the biggest service expansion since [[World War II]].<ref name=bbcws-20210908>{{cite web |url=https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/36976/pdf/ |title=Written evidence submitted by BBC World Service |id=TFP0035 |work=BBC World Service |via=Foreign Affairs Committee, Parliament |date=8 September 2021 |access-date=18 January 2023}}</ref>

==Operation==
[[File:Broadcasting House and East Wing.jpg|thumb|upright|The BBC World Service is located in [[Broadcasting House]], London.]]
The Service broadcasts from [[Broadcasting House]] in London, which is also headquarters of the corporation. It is located in the newer parts of the building, which contains radio and television studios for use by the overseas language services. The building also contains an integrated newsroom used by the international World Service, the international television channel [[BBC World News]], the domestic television and radio [[BBC News]] bulletins, the [[BBC News (TV channel)|BBC News Channel]] and [[BBC Online]].

At its launch, the Service was located along with most radio output in Broadcasting House. However, following the explosion of a [[parachute mine]] nearby on 8 December 1940, it relocated to premises away from the likely target of Broadcasting House.<ref name="West end at war">{{cite web|last=Thomas|first=Ronan|title=BBC Broadcasting House|url=http://www.westendatwar.org.uk/page_id__114_path__0p2p.aspx|publisher=West End at War.org.uk|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=6 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120606002121/http://www.westendatwar.org.uk/page_id__114_path__0p2p.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> The Overseas service relocated to [[Oxford Street]] while the European service moved temporarily to the emergency broadcasting facilities at [[Maida Vale Studios]].<ref name="West end at war"/> The European services moved permanently into [[Bush House]] towards the end of 1940, completing the move in 1941, with the Overseas services joining them in 1958.<ref name="Bush House WS">{{cite news|title=Why is the HQ called Bush House?|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/03/000000_bushhouse_name.shtml|work=Frequently Asked Questions|publisher=BBC World Service|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=3 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303171309/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/03/000000_bushhouse_name.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> Bush House subsequently became the home of the BBC World Service and the building itself has gained a global reputation with the audience of the service.<ref name="Bush House WS"/><ref name="BBC Story Bush House">{{cite web|title=BBC Buildings – Bush House|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/collections/buildings/bush_house.shtml|work=The BBC Story|publisher=BBC|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=29 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120629173014/http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/collections/buildings/bush_house.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the building was vacated in 2012 as a result of the Broadcasting House redevelopment<ref name="Bush House WS"/> and the end of the building's lease that year;<ref name="Bush house move end BBC News">{{cite news|title=BBC World Service leaves Bush House|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18810309|access-date=18 July 2012|work=BBC News|date=12 July 2012|archive-date=2 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181102201334/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18810309|url-status=live}}</ref> the first service to move was the Burmese Service on 11 March 2012<ref>{{cite web|title=New Broadcasting House comes alive|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/broadcastinghouse/news_events.shtml|work=News and Events|publisher=BBC|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=19 April 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130419172122/http://www.bbc.co.uk/broadcastinghouse/news_events.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> and the final broadcast from Bush House was a news bulletin broadcast at 11.00[[Greenwich Mean Time|GMT]] on 12 July 2012.<ref name="Bush house move end BBC News"/><ref>{{cite news|title=Bush House: BBC World Service moves home|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18801251|access-date=18 July 2012|work=BBC News|date=12 July 2012|archive-date=16 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120716072452/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18801251|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Higham|first=Nick|title=BBC World Service leaves Bush House|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18807778|access-date=18 July 2012|work=BBC News|date=12 July 2012|archive-date=18 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718064307/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18807778|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Sabbagh|first=Dan|title=Bush House ceases BBC broadcasts after 71 years|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/jul/12/bush-house-ceases-bbc-broadcasts|access-date=18 July 2012|newspaper=The Guardian|date=12 July 2012|archive-date=20 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920163204/http://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/jul/12/bush-house-ceases-bbc-broadcasts|url-status=live}}</ref>

The BBC World Service encompasses an English 24-hour global radio network and separate services in 27 other languages. News and information is available in these languages on the [[BBC Online|BBC website]], with many having [[RSS]] feeds and specific versions for use on mobile devices, and some also offer email notification of stories. In addition to the English service, 18 of the language services broadcast a radio service using the [[Shortwave radio|short wave]], [[AM broadcasting|AM]] or [[FM broadcasting|FM]] bands. These are also available to listen live or can be listened to later (usually for seven days) over the Internet and, in the case of seven language services, can be downloaded as [[podcast]]s. News is also available from the BBC News 'app', which is available from both [[iTunes]] and the [[Google Play|Google Play Store]]. In recent years,{{when|date=March 2023}} video content has also been used by the World Service: 16 language services show video reports on the website, and the Arabic and Persian services have their own television channels. TV is also used to broadcast the radio service, with local cable and satellite operators providing the English network (and occasionally some local language services) free to air. The English service is also available on [[digital radio]] in the UK and Europe.<ref name="in-languages">{{cite web|title=BBC News in Languages|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/languages/index.shtml|publisher=BBC|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=18 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718065057/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/languages/index.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=How and When to Listen|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmeguide/|publisher=BBC World Service|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=18 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718091721/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmeguide/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Traditionally, the Service relied on shortwave broadcasts, because of their ability to overcome barriers of censorship, distance, and spectrum scarcity. The BBC has maintained a worldwide network of [[shortwave relay station]]s since the 1940s, mainly in former British colonies. These cross-border broadcasts have also been used in special circumstances for emergency messages to [[British subject]]s abroad, such as the advice to evacuate [[Jordan]] during the [[Black September]] incidents of September 1970. These facilities were privatised in 1997 as Merlin Communications, and later acquired and operated as part of a wider network for multiple broadcasters by [[VT Communications]] (now part of [[Babcock International Group]]). It is also common for BBC programmes to air on [[Voice of America]] or [[ORF (broadcaster)|ORF]] transmitters, while their programming is relayed by a station located inside the UK. However, since the 1980s, [[Broadcast satellite|satellite distribution]] has made it possible for local stations to relay BBC programmes.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

BBC World Service is not regulated by [[Ofcom]] as the BBC generally is. Instead, the BBC is responsible for editorial independence and setting strategic direction. It defines the remit, scope, annual budget and main commitments of the World Service, and agrees "objectives, targets and priorities" with the British [[Foreign Secretary]] in a document named the BBC World Service Licence. The Chair of the [[BBC Board]] and the Foreign Secretary (or representatives) meet at least annually to review performance against these objectives, priorities and targets.<ref name=bbc-regulation>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/aboutthebbc/governance/regulation |title=Regulation |publisher=BBC |access-date=18 January 2023}}</ref><ref name=bbc-2018>{{cite web |url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/managementstructure/structureandgovernance/world_service_licence.pdf |title=BBC World Service Licence |publisher=BBC |year=2018 |access-date=18 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815040009/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/managementstructure/structureandgovernance/world_service_licence.pdf |archive-date=15 August 2022}}</ref>

==Previous radio programming in English==
{{more citations needed|section|date=December 2017}}
Previous broadcasts included popular music programmes presented by [[John Peel]] and classical music programmes presented by [[Edward Greenfield]]. There have also been religious programmes, of mostly Anglican celebration and often from the Church of [[St. Martin in the Fields]], weekly drama, English-language lessons, and comedy including ''[[Just A Minute]]''. Other notable previous programmes include ''[[Letter from America]]'' by [[Alistair Cooke]], which was broadcast for over fifty years; ''Off the Shelf'' with its daily reading from a novel, biography or history book; ''A Jolly Good Show'', a music request programme presented by [[Dave Lee Travis]]; ''Waveguide'', a radio reception guide; and ''The Merchant Navy Programme'', a show for seafarers presented by Malcolm Billings; ''The Morning Show'', ''Good Morning Africa'' and ''PM'', all presented by [[Pete Myers (radio broadcaster)|Pete Myers]] in the 1960s and 1970s.

Since the late 1990s, the station has focused more on news, with bulletins added every half-hour following the outbreak of the [[Iraq War]].

===News===
News is at the core of the [[broadcast programming|scheduling]]. A five-minute bulletin is generally transmitted at 01 past the hour, with a two-minute summary at 30 past the hour. Sometimes these are separate from other programming, or alternatively made integral to the programme (such as with ''The Newsroom'', ''[[Newshour]]'' or ''[[Newsday (BBC World Service)|Newsday]]''). During such time slots as weeknights 11pm-12am GMT and that of ''Sportsworld'', no news summaries are broadcast. As part of the BBC's policy for breaking news, the Service is the first to receive a full report for foreign news.<ref name="BBC News works">{{cite web|last=Boaden|first=Helen|date=22 January 2007|title=Editorial Processes – How BBC News works|url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207054802/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.pdf|archive-date=7 February 2017|access-date=11 August 2012|website=|publisher=BBC Trust|page=4}}</ref>

===Americas===
BBC World Service is available by subscription to [[Sirius XM Holdings|Sirius XM's]] [[satellite radio]] service in the United States.<ref>{{cite press release |publisher=[[XM Satellite Radio]] |date=26 July 1999 |url=http://xmradio.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=press_releases&item=1104 |title=BBC World Service and XM announce programming alliance |access-date=17 October 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061111180733/http://xmradio.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=press_releases&item=1104 |archive-date=11 November 2006 }}</ref> Its Canadian affiliate, [[Sirius XM Canada]], does the same in Canada.

The BBC and [[Public Radio International]] (PRI) co-produce the programme ''[[The World (radio program)|The World]]'' with [[WGBH (FM)|WGBH]] Radio [[Boston]], and the BBC was previously involved with ''[[The Takeaway]]'' morning news programme based at [[WNYC]] in [[New York City]]. BBC World Service programming also airs as part of [[CBC Radio One]]'s ''[[CBC Radio Overnight]]'' schedule in Canada.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}

BBC shortwave broadcasts to this region were traditionally enhanced by the Atlantic Relay Station and the Caribbean Relay Company, a station in [[Antigua]] run jointly with [[Deutsche Welle]]. In addition, an exchange agreement with [[Radio Canada International]] gave access to their station in [[New Brunswick]]. However, "changing listening habits" led the World Service to end shortwave radio transmission directed to North America and [[Australasia]] on 1 July 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/docs/annual_reports_and_reviews/annual_report_and_accounts/BBC_Annual_Reports_and_Accounts.htm#page54|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202090014/http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/docs/annual_reports_and_reviews/annual_report_and_accounts/BBC_Annual_Reports_and_Accounts.htm#page54|url-status=dead|title=Pages 1–136 from BBC AR Cover 03|archive-date=2 February 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/08/050810_nzandswpacific.shtml |title=BBC World Service | FAQ |publisher=BBC |date=10 August 2005 |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-date=10 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110052617/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/08/050810_nzandswpacific.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> A [[shortwave listening|shortwave listener]] coalition formed to oppose the change.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.savebbc.org/press/6_june_2001.html |title=Save the BBC World Service in North America and the Pacific! – BBC to Cut Off 1.2 Million Listeners on July 1 |website=Savebbc.org |date=6 June 2001 |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101130004805/http://savebbc.org/press/6_june_2001.html |archive-date=30 November 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The BBC broadcasts to Central America and South America in several languages. It is possible to receive the [[West Africa|Western African]] shortwave radio broadcasts from eastern North America, but the BBC does not guarantee reception in this area.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/010119_namerica.shtml |title=FAQ | World Service |publisher=BBC |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-date=18 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918100925/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/010119_namerica.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> It has ended its specialist programming to the [[Falkland Islands]] but continues to provide a stream of World Service programming to the [[Falkland Islands Radio Service]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/02_february/23/falklands.shtml |title=Press Office – Falkland Islands and BBC to boost home-grown media |publisher=BBC |date=23 February 2006 |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-date=6 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106014444/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/02_february/23/falklands.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Asia===
For several decades, the World Service's largest audiences have been in Asia, the Middle East, [[Near East]] and South Asia. Transmission facilities in the UK and Cyprus were supplemented by the former BBC Eastern Relay Station in [[Oman]] and the [[BBC Far Eastern Relay Station|Far Eastern Relay Station]] in Singapore, formerly in Malaysia. The East Asian Relay Station moved to [[Thailand]] in 1997 when Hong Kong was [[Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong|handed over]] to Chinese sovereignty. The relay station in Thailand was closed during January 2017, and in [[Singapore]] during July 2023;<ref>{{cite news | title = BBC's call will continue after transmissions end | url = https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/bbcs-call-will-continue-after-transmissions-end/MBUUASPXN3PNXAVHUNUTHSVKWA/ | author = Rosaleen Macbrayne | access-date = 30 August 2023 | work = New Zealand Herald }}</ref> currently, a relay station in [[Masirah]], [[Oman]] serves the Asian region. Together, these facilities have given the BBC World Service an easily accessible signal in regions where shortwave listening has traditionally been popular. The English shortwave frequencies of 6.195 (49m band), 9.74 (31m band), 15.31/15.36 (19m band) and 17.76/17.79 (16m band) were widely known. On 25 March 2018, the long-established shortwave frequency of 9.74 MHz was changed to 9.9 MHz.

The largest audiences are in English, [[Hindi]], [[Urdu]], [[Nepali language|Nepali]], [[Bengali language|Bengali]], [[Sinhala language|Sinhala]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and other major languages of South Asia, where BBC broadcasters are household names. The [[Persian language|Persian]] service is the ''de facto'' national broadcaster of [[Afghanistan]], along with its Iranian audience. The World Service is available up to eighteen hours a day in English across most parts of Asia, and in Arabic for the Middle East. With the addition of relays in Afghanistan and Iraq these services are accessible in most of the Middle and Near East in the evening. In Singapore, the BBC World Service in English is essentially treated as a domestic broadcaster, easily available 24/7 through long-term agreement with [[Mediacorp#Radio|MediaCorp Radio]]. For many years [[Radio Television Hong Kong]] broadcast BBC World Service 24/7 but as of 12 February 2021, Hong Kong has banned the BBC's World Service radio from its airwaves, following swiftly on the heels of China's decision to bar its World News television channels, seemingly in retaliation for Ofcom revoking the UK broadcasting licence of China Global Television Network. In the [[Philippines]], [[DZRJ-AM|DZRJ 810 AM]] broadcasts the BBC World Service in English from 12:00–05:00 [[Philippine Standard Time|PHT]] ([[GMT+8]]).

Although this region has seen the launch of the only two foreign language television channels, several other services have had their radio services closed as a result of budget cuts and redirection of resources.<ref>{{cite news | title = BBC Thai service ends broadcasts | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4609860.stm | author = Clare Harkey | date = 13 March 2006 | access-date = 8 November 2008 | work = BBC News | archive-date = 18 December 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081218021705/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4609860.stm | url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12864041 |title=BBC Chinese Service makes final broadcast in Mandarin |author=Vivien Marsh |publisher=BBC |date=28 March 2011 |access-date=25 October 2011 |archive-date=11 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511224200/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12864041 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Japan and Korea have little tradition of World Service listening, although during the Second World War and in the 1970s to 1980s, shortwave listening was popular in Japan. In those two countries, the BBC World Service was only available via shortwave and the Internet. As of September 2007, a satellite transmission (subscription required) became available by Skylife (Channel 791) in South Korea. In November 2016, the BBC World Service announced it plans to start broadcasts in Korean. ''BBC Korean'', a radio and web service, started on 25 September 2017.<ref name=38north-20170926>{{cite web |url=http://www.38north.org/2017/09/mwilliams092617/ |title=Option for North Korean Radio Listeners |last=Williams |first=Martyn |publisher=U.S.-Korea Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies |work=38 North |date=26 September 2017 |access-date=28 September 2017 |archive-date=27 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170927034911/http://www.38north.org/2017/09/mwilliams092617/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Europe===
The BBC World Service is broadcast in Berlin on 94.8 MHz. FM relays are also available in Ceske Budjovice, Karlovy Vary, Plzen, Usti nad Labem, Zlin and Prague in the Czech Republic, Pristina, Riga, Tallinn, Tirana and Vilnius. The station is also available in Reykjavík, Iceland on 94.5 MHz FM.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC World Service coming back to Iceland |url=https://icelandmag.is/article/bbc-world-service-coming-back-iceland |access-date=2023-06-25 |website=Icelandmag |language=en}}</ref> A BBC World Service channel is available on [[DAB+]] in Brussels and Flanders and Amsterdam, the Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam.

The World Service employed a [[Orfordness transmitting station|medium wave transmitter]] at [[Orford Ness]] to provide English-language coverage to Europe, including on the [[frequency]] 648 [[kHz]] (which could be heard in parts of the south-east of England during the day and most of the UK after dark). Transmissions on this frequency were stopped on 27 March 2011, as a consequence of the budgetary constraints imposed on the BBC World Service in the 2010 budget review.<ref>{{cite web|title=BBC World Service: The closure of 648 kHz medium wave|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2011/02/110208_648khz_mw_closure.shtml|publisher=BBC|access-date=11 August 2012|archive-date=2 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302130012/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2011/02/110208_648khz_mw_closure.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> A second channel (1296 kHz) traditionally broadcast in various Central European languages, but this frequency has also been discontinued and in 2005 it began regular English-language transmissions via the [[Digital Radio Mondiale]] (DRM) format.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/09/050907_drm_launch_release.shtml|title=BBC Launches DRM Service in Europe|publisher=BBC World Service|date=7 September 2005|access-date=15 November 2006|archive-date=29 December 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061229085829/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/09/050907_drm_launch_release.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> This is a digital shortwave technology that VT expects to become the standard for cross-border transmissions in developed countries.

In the 1990s, the BBC purchased and constructed large medium wave and FM networks in the former Soviet bloc, particularly the Czech (BBC Czech Section), Slovak Republics (BBC Slovak Section), Poland ([[BBC Polish Section]]) (where it was a national network) and Russia ([[BBC Russian Service]]). It had built up a strong audience during the Cold War, whilst economic restructuring made it difficult for these governments to refuse Western investment. Many of these facilities have now returned to domestic control, as economic and political conditions have changed.

On Monday, 18 February 2008, the BBC World Service stopped analogue shortwave transmissions to Europe. The notice stated, "Increasing numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen to radio on a range of other platforms including FM, satellite and online, with fewer listening on shortwave."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5nCxH0NlsPtyW8WvJ0rwDJP/about-world-service-radio|title=BBC - About World Service radio|website=BBC|access-date=31 October 2019|archive-date=8 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191108015309/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5nCxH0NlsPtyW8WvJ0rwDJP/about-world-service-radio|url-status=live}}</ref> It is sometimes possible to pick up the BBC World Service in Europe on SW frequencies targeted at North Africa. The BBC's powerful 198 kHz LW, which broadcasts the domestic [[BBC Radio 4]] to Britain during the day (and carries the World Service during the night) can also be heard in nearby parts of Europe, including the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of France, Germany and Scandinavia.

In Malta, BBC News bulletins are carried by a number of radio stations, including Radju Malta and Magic 91.7, owned by national broadcaster PBS Ltd. These are broadcast at various points in the day and supplement news bulletins broadcast in Maltese from the PBS Newsroom.

Former BBC shortwave transmitters are located in the United Kingdom at [[Rampisham Down]] in [[Dorset]], [[Woofferton transmitting station|Woofferton]] in [[Shropshire]] and [[Skelton transmitter|Skelton]] in [[Cumbria]]. The former [[British East Mediterranean Relay Station|BBC East Mediterranean Relay Station]] is in [[Cyprus]].

In response to the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the BBC began broadcasting World Service English programming at shortwave frequencies 15.735 MHz and 5875 kHz for receivers in Ukraine and parts of Russia.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Millions of Russians turn to BBC News|publisher=[[BBC]]|location=London|date=2 March 2022|accessdate=3 March 2022|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2022/millions-of-russians-turn-to-bbc-news|archive-date=2 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220302232002/https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2022/millions-of-russians-turn-to-bbc-news|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=BBC Revives Shortwave Radio Dispatches in Ukraine and Draws Ire of Russia|first=Tiffany|last=Hsu|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=3 March 2022|accessdate=3 March 2022|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/03/business/media/bbc-shortwave-radio-ukraine.html|archive-date=18 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318142410/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/03/business/media/bbc-shortwave-radio-ukraine.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Pacific===
The World Service is available as part of the [[subscription]] Digital Air package (available from [[Foxtel]] and [[Austar]]) in Australia. [[ABC NewsRadio]], [[SBS Radio]], and various [[community radio]] stations also broadcast many programmes. Many of these stations broadcast a straight feed during the midnight to dawn period. It was also available via the [[satellite service]] [[Optus Aurora]], which is encrypted but available without subscription. In Sydney, Australia, a transmission of the service can be received at 152.025 MHz. It is also available on the [[Digital radio in Australia|DAB+ Network in Australia]] on [[SBS Radio]] 4 (except during [[Eurovision Song Contest|Eurovision]] and special events). 2MBS-FM 102.5, a classical music station in Sydney, also carries the BBC World Service news programmes at 7a.m. and 8a.m. on weekdays, during its ''Music for a New Day'' breakfast programme.

Shortwave relays from Singapore (see Asia, above) continue, but historic relays via [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)]] and [[Radio New Zealand International]] were wound down in the late 1990s. BBC World Service relays on [[Radio Australia]] now carry the BBC Radio news programmes.

AREC FM is a non-profit donation funded LPFM broadcaster and a subscriber to the [[Community Broadcasting Association of Australia]]'s [[Community Radio Network (Australia)]].

In New Zealand, [[Radio Tarana]] and members of the [[Association of Community Access Broadcasters]] carry some BBC World Service programmes. The BBC World Service was previously available on 1233 kHz in Wellington between 1990 and 1994, and again from 1996 to 1997.

===UK===
The BBC World Service is broadcast on [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]], [[Freeview (UK)|Freeview]], [[Virgin Media]] and [[Sky UK|Sky]] platforms. It is also broadcast overnight on the frequencies of [[BBC Radio 4]] and the [[Welsh language]] service [[BBC Radio Cymru]] following their closedown at 0000 or 0100 British time. The BBC World Service does not receive funding for broadcasts to the UK. In southeast England, the station could be picked up reliably on medium wave 648 kHz, which was targeted at mainland Europe.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

According to [[RAJAR]], the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 1.2 million with a listening share of 0.7% as of March 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rajar.co.uk/listening/quarterly_listening.php|title=RAJAR }}</ref>

A previous signature tune of the station was a five note motif, composed by David Arnold and which comprises a variety of voices declaim "This is the BBC in..." before going on to name various cities (e.g. [[Kampala]], [[Milan]], [[Delhi]], [[Johannesburg]]), followed by the station's slogan and the [[Greenwich Time Signal]].<ref name=signature>{{cite web | title = What is the BBC World Service signature tune? | url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/03/000000_ws_sig_tune.shtml | publisher = BBC | access-date = 4 September 2010 | archive-date = 9 February 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110209040114/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/03/000000_ws_sig_tune.shtml | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name=music>{{cite web | title = Audio Identities | url = http://imagedissectors.com/article/46 | author = Robert Weedon | date = 16 December 2009 | access-date = 4 September 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100922192529/http://www.imagedissectors.com/article/46 | archive-date = 22 September 2010 | url-status=dead }}</ref> This was heard throughout the network with a few variations – in the UK the full service name was spoken, whereas just the name of the BBC was used outside the UK. The phrase "This is London" was used previously in place of a station slogan.

The tune "[[Lillibullero]]" was another well known signature tune of the network following its broadcast previously as part of the top-of-the-hour sequence.<ref name=music/> This piece of music is no longer heard before news bulletins.<ref name=signature/> The use of the tune gained minor controversy because of its background as a [[Protestant]] marching song in [[Northern Ireland]].<ref name=signature/><ref name=music/>

The ''[[Prince of Denmark's March]]'' (commonly known as the ''Trumpet Voluntary'') was often broadcast by the BBC Radio during [[World War II]], especially when programming was directed to [[occupied Denmark]], as the march symbolised a connection between the two countries. It remained for many years the signature tune of the BBC European Service.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.orbem.co.uk/grams/grams_5.htm | title=BBC Station Idents and Interval Signals | access-date=17 July 2020 | archive-date=28 January 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200128103855/http://www.orbem.co.uk/grams/grams_5.htm | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.intervalsignals.net/countries/uk-bbcws.htm | title=Interval Signals Online - United Kingdom (BBC World Service) | access-date=17 July 2020 | archive-date=18 July 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200718010028/http://www.intervalsignals.net/countries/uk-bbcws.htm | url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:BBC World Service Big Ben 1-1-2009.ogg|thumb|left|The BBC World Service announcement and the chimes of Big Ben at midnight GMT, 1 January 2009]]
In addition to these tunes, the BBC World Service also uses several [[interval signal]]s. The English service uses a recording of [[Bow Bells]], made in 1926 and used a symbol of hope during the [[Second World War]], only replaced for a brief time during the 1970s with the tune to the nursery rhyme "[[Oranges and Lemons]]". The morse code of the letter "[[V]]" has also been used as a signal and was introduced in January 1941 and had several variations including [[timpani]], the first four notes of [[Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)|Beethoven's Fifth Symphony]] (which coincide with the letter "V"), and electronic tones which until recently remained in use for some Western European services. In other languages, the interval signal is three notes, pitched B–B-C. However, these symbols have been used less frequently.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

===Time===
The network operates using [[Greenwich Mean Time]], regardless of the time zone and time of year, and is announced on the hour on the English service as "13 hours GMT" (1300 GMT) or "Midnight Greenwich Mean Time" (0000 GMT). The BBC World Service traditionally broadcasts the chimes of [[Big Ben]] in London at the start of a new year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC Pips |url=https://greenwichmeantime.com/articles/clocks/bbc-pips/ |access-date=March 28, 2024 |website=greenwichmeantime.com}}</ref>

==="This is London"===
A BBC News report would begin with its [[station identification]] phrase "This is London" or "This is London calling".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.turnipnet.com/whirligig/radio/index.htm|title=1950's British Radio Nostalgia|website=www.turnipnet.com|access-date=11 January 2021|archive-date=25 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201225231901/http://www.turnipnet.com/whirligig/radio/index.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The phrase has become a trademark of the BBC World Service, and has been influential in popular culture, such as music. In 1979, the British punk rock band [[The Clash]] released the hit song "[[London Calling (song)|London Calling]]",<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/clash-london-calling-album-facts-923232/|title=The Clash's 'London Calling': 10 Things You Didn't Know|first1=Andy|last1=Greene|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=13 December 2019|access-date=11 January 2021|archive-date=17 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117003930/https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/clash-london-calling-album-facts-923232/|url-status=live}}</ref> which was partly based on the station identification phrase.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://enviro-history.com/london-calling.html|title=London Calling|website=enviro-history.com|access-date=11 January 2021|archive-date=13 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210113165642/http://enviro-history.com/london-calling.html|url-status=live}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=June 2024}}

During the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], before announcing the contest points from the UK, the broadcaster from the BBC delivering the votes usually begins with "This is London Calling". In 2019, the BBC started a weekly podcast called ''Eurovision Calling'' with Jayde Adams and [[Scott Mills]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Eurovision Calling | publisher=BBC | date=19 February 2021 | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0704rjr | access-date=26 February 2021 | archive-date=25 February 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225215009/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0704rjr | url-status=live }}</ref>

==Assessments==

===British soft power===
The World Service claims that its aim is to be "the world's best-known and most-respected voice in international broadcasting, thereby bringing benefit to the UK, the BBC, and to audiences around the world",<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/06/090609_annual_review2009_aims.shtml|title=Annual Review 2008/2009|work=BBC News|access-date=8 April 2010|archive-date=2 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100602035747/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/06/090609_annual_review2009_aims.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> while retaining a "balanced British view" of international developments.<ref name="BBC protocol"/> In 2022, the ''[[Financial Times]]'' wrote that the World Service "is considered a pillar of British soft power",<ref name=ft-20221207>{{cite news |url=https://www.ft.com/content/01233bf1-ebe1-4198-9065-8662ed634577 |title=UK government must boost funding to sustain World Service, says BBC chief |author=Arjun Neil Alim |newspaper=Financial Times |url-access=subscription |date=7 December 2022 |access-date=12 January 2023}}</ref> and a [[House of Lords Library]] report noted the widespread recognition of this soft power.<ref name=holl-20221124/> According to the American socialist magazine ''[[Monthly Review]]'' in 2022, former director [[Peter Horrocks]] inferred the World Service's scope to Russian state broadcaster [[RT (TV network)|RT]] as a means of extending international influence and [[soft power]].<ref name=fac-20110517/><ref name="The Broken BBC"/>

In 2014, [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] MP [[John Whittingdale]], chair of the [[Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee]], characterising the BBC's primary mission as fighting an 'Information War' (a role which some{{Example needed|date=August 2022}} media scholars agree to<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Safiri |first1=F |last2=Shahidi |first2=H |title=Great Britain xiii.

It is frightening the extent to which we are losing the information war.”<ref name="The Guardian"/> In March 2022, as the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion of Ukraine]] started, the UK government announced additional emergency funding for the World Service to provide "independent, impartial and accurate news to people in Ukraine and Russia in the face of increased propaganda from the Russian state" and to counter "Putin’s lies and exposing his propaganda and fake news".<ref name=govuk-20220324>{{cite press release |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/bbc-gets-emergency-funding-to-fight-russian-disinformation |title=BBC gets emergency funding to fight Russian disinformation |publisher=UK Government |via=gov.uk |date=24 March 2022 |access-date=12 January 2023}}</ref>

===BBC Persian Service===
In the context of the [[Iranian Revolution]], the BBC World Service's [[BBC Persian|Persian-language service]] has been criticised for its role in promoting the [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah]]'s regime and undermining local norms in favour of British-selected values, with the [[List of diplomats of the United Kingdom to Iran|British Ambassador in Iran]], [[Peter Ramsbotham]], stating in reaction to a Service-sponsored poetry contest (in celebration of the [[2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire|2500th anniversary]] of the founding of the [[Achaemenid Empire|Archaemenid empire]]) that the organisation "seems to be damaging its image by acquiring a reputation for employing and supporting 'old brigade' expatriates."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ramsbotham |first1=Peter |title=Telegram from P. Ramsbotham to M. Dodd |date=17 July 1971 |publisher=BBC Written Archives Centre |location=Tehran }}</ref>

Furthermore, it appears{{according to whom|date=March 2023}} that the [[Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office|Foreign & Commonwealth Office]] made a concerted effort to produce favourable coverage of Persia to BBC World Service audiences in order to maintain cordiality with the Shah's regime. For example, in December 1973, a memo from Ramsbotham details a request from the [[Prime Minister of Iran|Iranian Prime Minister]] for the text of a broadcast about Iran by [[Peter Avery]], lecturer in Persian Studies and Fellow at [[King's College, Cambridge]], which he deemed 'excellent' and wanted to show the Shah. This later became the programme ''Iran: Oil and the Shah's Arab Neighbours'' which was aired globally on 1 December 1973, much to the chagrin of the Iranian people, who began airing their frustrations against the British government out on the BBC Persian Service; By 1976, Ramsbotham's successor, [[Sir Anthony Parsons]], concluded that the Persian Service has lost its propaganda value and supported discontinuing the service: "[It] is well known that the vernacular service is financed by the FCO and is therefore firmly considered by the Iranians as an official organ of the government."<ref>{{cite book |title="Central Current Affairs Talks External Broadcasting" |date=1 December 1973 |publisher=Foreign and Commonwealth Office |edition=O26/1374 - 35 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Ramsbotham |first1=Peter |title=Ramsbotham to Managing Director of External Broadcasting |date=27 October 1973 |publisher=BBC Written Archives Centre |location=Tehran }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Parsons |first1=Sir Anthony |title=Telegram from A Parsons to N J Barrington on "BBC Persian Service" |date=4 July 1976 |publisher=Foreign and Commonwealth Office |location=Tehran |edition=9 FCO 8/2762 }}</ref>

In September 2022, the World Service announced the closure of its Persian and Arabic radio services as part of a cost-cutting plan, but the online and TV services would remain.<ref name=ft-20221207/><ref name=guardian-20220929>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/sep/29/hundreds-of-jobs-to-go-as-bbc-announces-world-service-cutbacks |title=Hundreds of jobs to go as BBC announces World Service cutbacks |last=Waterson |first=Jim |newspaper=The Guardian |date=29 September 2022 |access-date=12 January 2023}}</ref>

The BBC World Service began on 19 December 1932 as the '''BBC Empire Service''', broadcasting on [[Shortwave listening|shortwave]]<ref name="WS closures 2005 analysis">{{cite news|last= Repa|first= Jan|title= Analysis: BBC's voice in Europe|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4375652.stm|access-date= 16 July 2012|work= BBC News|date= 25 October 2005|archive-date= 27 July 2008|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080727002945/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4375652.stm|url-status= live}}</ref> and aimed principally at [[English language|English speakers]] across the [[British Empire]]. In his first [[Royal Christmas Message#George V|Christmas Message]] (1932), [[King George V]] characterised the service as intended for "men and women, so cut off by the snow, the desert, or the sea, that only voices out of the air can reach them".<ref name="Historic moments 30s">{{cite web|title= Historic moments from the 1930s|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1122_75_years/page2.shtml|publisher= BBC World Service|access-date= 16 July 2012|archive-date= 2 May 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130502144345/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1122_75_years/page2.shtml|url-status= live}}</ref> First hopes for the Empire Service were low. The [[Director-General of the BBC|Director-General]], [[John Reith, 1st Baron Reith|Sir John Reith]], said in the opening programme:

<blockquote>Don't expect too much in the early days; for some time we shall transmit comparatively simple programmes, to give the best chance of intelligible reception and provide evidence as to the type of material most suitable for the service in each zone. The programmes will neither be very interesting nor very good.<ref name="Historic moments 30s"/><ref>Transcribed from recording on World Service 75th Anniversary DVD; full extract transmitted as part of opening program – the Reith Global Debate – of the 'Free to Speak' 75th anniversary season</ref></blockquote>

=== World War II ===

The BBC would continue to claim independence from the Government during the war,{{sfn | Plock | 2021 | p=}}{{rp|25}} but as Asa Briggs noted, a complete picture of the wartime BBC would have to include 'persistent references' to the various connected agencies of the government.{{sfn | Briggs | 1995 | p=}}{{rp|393}} Chiefly, the [[Political Warfare Executive]], responsible for all broadcasts to Europe.{{sfn | Milland | 1998 | pp=353–373}}{{rp|354}}

On 3 January 1938 the first foreign-language service was launched—in Arabic. Programmes in German, Italian and French began broadcasting on 27 September 1938 projecting the British quest for peace in the days prior to the conference on the [[Munich Agreement]].

By the end of 1942, the BBC had started broadcasts in all major European languages. The Empire Service was renamed the '''BBC Overseas Service''' in November 1939, supplemented by the addition of a dedicated BBC European Service from 1941. Funding for these services—known administratively as the '''External Services of the BBC'''—came not from the domestic [[radio licence|licence fee]] but from government [[grant-in-aid]] (from the Foreign Office budget).{{Citation needed|date= July 2017}}

[[File:Aldwych, Bush House, WC2 - geograph.org.uk - 668798.jpg|thumb|right|[[Bush House]] in London was home to the World Service between 1941 and 2012.]]

The External Services broadcast propaganda during the [[Second World War]], on the German-language service {{ill|Londoner Rundfunk|de}} especially against Nazi rule, believed in the early days of the war at least to have weak support.{{sfn | Seul | 2015 | pp=378–396}} Its French service ''{{lang|fr|[[Radio Londres]]}}'' also sent coded messages to the [[French Resistance]]. [[George Orwell]] broadcast many news bulletins on the '''Eastern Service''' during the Second World War.<ref>{{Cite book|title= Orwell: The War Broadcasts|isbn= 0-563-20327-7|editor-last=West|editor-first= W.

=== Cold War ===

The 1956 [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|Hungarian uprising]] held enormous implications for international radio broadcasting as it related to western foreign policy during the Cold War. Western broadcasts (especially the US's [[Radio Free Europe|RFE]]) incited an expectation of support that had already been decided against by President Eisenhower.<ref>{{harvnb|Rawnsley|1996|p=67-68}}: On the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|Hungarian uprising]] and the [[Radio Free Europe|RFE]]'s role: "The United Nations Special Committee which investigated the crisis in 1957 concluded that RFE had 'aroused an expectation of support'. In terms of apportioning responsibility, however, this means very little." ''(continued)''</ref>{{rp|67-68}} The BBC, unlike other broadcasters, did not lose credibility in the crisis. It showed sensitivity and acted as its own censor when diplomacy may have been jeopardised otherwise.<ref>{{harvnb|Rawnsley|1996|p=72}}: Rawnsley in the context of the BBC's reporting on the uprising wrote: "Thus despite what its critics assert about Suez the BBC was certainly sensitive of its power and often acted as its own censor where diplomacy may have been jeopardised."</ref>{{rp|72}}

In stark contrast stood the BBC's reporting on the [[Suez Crisis]] of the same year. Although the British government tried to censor the BBC, it continued its even-handed reporting to both home as well as all foreign audiences.{{sfn | Goodwin | 2005}}{{rp|109–114}} The row had the government seriously consider taking over the service when then prime minister [[Anthony Eden]] wanted to ensure that only the government line—that the British and French only invaded Eqypt to keep peace and because its president [[Nasser]] was breaking international law—would reach the home (and international) audience.{{sfn | Economic and Political Weekly | 1968 | p=1680}}<ref name="fairhall20110630">{{Cite news |last=Fairhall |first=John |date=30 June 2011 |title=Drama sparks Suez Crisis memories |url=http://www.edp24.co.uk/norfolk-life/drama_sparks_suez_crisis_memories_1_949446 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102190920/http://www.edp24.co.uk/norfolk-life/drama_sparks_suez_crisis_memories_1_949446 |archive-date=2 November 2014 |access-date=21 January 2015 |work=[[Eastern Daily Press]]}}</ref>

By the end of the 1940s the number of broadcast languages had expanded and reception had improved, following the opening of a relay in [[British Malaya|Malaya]] and of the [[Limassol BBC Relay|Limassol relay]] in [[British Cyprus|Cyprus]] in 1957.

Also in 1957, a number of foreign language services were discontinued, or reduced.{{sfn | Rawnsley | 1996 }}{{rp|3}}

In 1962, the [[Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office|Foreign Office]] argued that the [[VOA]]'s philosophy, as presented to it by its then director [[Henry Loomis]], not to broadcast to fully-developed allied countries in their respective languages should be adopted by the BBC. The reluctance of the BBC to drop those services was predicted also.{{sfn | Rawnsley | 1996 }}{{rp|2}}

On 1 May 1965 the service took its current name of '''BBC World Service'''.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/history/story/2007/02/070122_html_60s.shtml|title= The 1960s|publisher= BBC World Service|access-date= 25 April 2010|archive-date= 8 November 2011|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111108042303/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/history/story/2007/02/070122_html_60s.shtml|url-status= live}}</ref> It expanded its reach with the opening of the [[Ascension Island transmitting station|Ascension Island relay]] in 1966, serving African audiences with a stronger signal and better reception, and with the later relay on the Island of [[Masirah Island|Masirah]] in Oman.

In August 1985 the service went off-air for the first time when workers went on strike in protest at the [[British government]]'s decision to ban a documentary featuring an interview with [[Martin McGuinness]] of [[Sinn Féin]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Thomas |first=Jo |date=8 August 1985 |title=British Newscasts Stopped by Strike |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/08/08/world/british-newscasts-stopped-by-strike.html |access-date=6 March 2021 |archive-date=25 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125155225/http://www.nytimes.com/1985/08/08/world/british-newscasts-stopped-by-strike.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=DeYoung |first=Karen |date=7 August 1985 |title=BBC World Service Falls Silent |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/08/07/bbc-world-service-falls-silent/057453eb-f526-49f4-962c-8fb8045c2ab6/ |access-date=6 March 2021 |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318142421/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/08/07/bbc-world-service-falls-silent/057453eb-f526-49f4-962c-8fb8045c2ab6/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=8 August 1985 |title=Strike halts BBC News Worldwide |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-08-08-ca-3574-story.html |access-date=6 March 2021 |work=Los Angeles Times |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318142434/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-08-08-ca-3574-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Subsequently, financial pressures decreased the number and the types of services offered by the BBC. Audiences in countries with wide access to [[Internet]] services have less need for terrestrial radio.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} Broadcasts in German ended in March 1999, after research showed that the majority of German listeners tuned into the English-language service. Broadcasts in [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], French, [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], Italian, Japanese and [[Malay language|Malay]] stopped for similar reasons.

In 2011, BBC Kyrgyz service newsreader and producer {{ill|Arslan Koichiev|ky}} resigned from his BBC post after revelations and claims of involvement in the [[Kyrgyz Revolution of 2010|Kyrgyzstan revolution of April 2010]]. He had been based in London, but often travelled to Kyrgyzstan and used BBC resources to agitate against President [[Kurmanbek Bakiyev]], appearing on a Kyrgyz radio station under a pseudonym with a disguised voice. One of the leaders of the revolution, Aliyasbek Alymkulov, named the producer as his mentor and claimed that they had discussed preparations for the revolution.<ref name=revolt>{{cite news |date=7 April 2011 |title=BBC man quits after claims he helped to topple president in Kyrgyzstan revolt |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/bbc-man-quits-after-claims-he-helped-to-topple-president-in-kyrgyzstan-revolt-6389723.html |work=Evening Standard |location=London |access-date=5 April 2018 |archive-date=2 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202081421/http://www.standard.co.uk/news/bbc-man-quits-after-claims-he-helped-to-topple-president-in-kyrgyzstan-revolt-6389723.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In October 2010, the UK government announced that it was reducing the service’s revenue funding by 16% and its capital funding by 52% by 2017. This necessitated over 650 staff leaving. Funding from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office would end in April 2014, when funding would mainly be from the television licence fee. From 2010, the service started transforming from a mainly radio-based operation to multi-media.<ref name=nao-20160607>{{cite web |url=https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BBC-World-Service-1.pdf |title=BBC World Service |pages=5–6 |publisher=National Audit Office |date=7 June 2016 |access-date=19 January 2023}}</ref>

In January 2011, the closure of the Albanian, Macedonian, and Serbian, as well as English for the Caribbean and Portuguese for Africa, services was announced. The British government announced that the three [[Balkans|Balkan]] countries had wide access to international information, and so broadcasts in the local languages had become unnecessary.<ref>{{cite news |title= BBC World Service to cut five language services |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12277413 |access-date= 18 July 2012 |work= BBC News |date= 26 January 2011 |archive-date= 26 January 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110126044945/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12277413 |url-status= live }}</ref> This decision reflected the financial situation the Corporation faced following transfer of responsibility for the Service from the Foreign Office, so that it would in future have been funded from within licence-fee income.

From 2016, 1,100 additional staff were recruited as part of an expansion of the World Service, about a 70% increase, funded by the [[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office]] providing £254 million/year for five years, partly a reversal of the government decision that the television licence fee would fund the service from 2014.<ref name=nao-20231217>{{cite web |url=https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/BBC-savings-and-reforms.pdf |title=BBC savings and reform |id=HC 958 |publisher=National Audit Office |pages=s6,22 |date=17 December 2023 |access-date=18 January 2023}}</ref><ref name=holl-20221124/> This was the biggest service expansion since [[World War II]].<ref name=bbcws-20210908>{{cite web |url=https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/36976/pdf/ |title=Written evidence submitted by BBC World Service |id=TFP0035 |work=BBC World Service |via=Foreign Affairs Committee, Parliament |date=8 September 2021 |access-date=18 January 2023}}</ref>

The BBC World Service encompasses an English 24-hour global radio network and separate services in 27 other languages. News and information is available in these languages on the [[BBC Online|BBC website]], with many having [[RSS]] feeds and specific versions for use on mobile devices, and some also offer email notification of stories. In addition to the English service, 18 of the language services broadcast a radio service using the [[Shortwave radio|short wave]], [[AM broadcasting|AM]] or [[FM broadcasting|FM]] bands. These are also available to listen live or can be listened to later (usually for seven days) over the Internet and, in the case of seven language services, can be downloaded as [[podcast]]s. News is also available from the BBC News 'app', which is available from both [[iTunes]] and the [[Google Play|Google Play Store]]. In recent years,{{when|date=March 2023}} video content has also been used by the World Service: 16 language services show video reports on the website, and the Arabic and Persian services have their own television channels. TV is also used to broadcast the radio service, with local cable and satellite operators providing the English network (and occasionally some local language services) free to air. The English service is also available on [[digital radio]] in the UK and Europe.<ref name="in-languages">{{cite web|title=BBC News in Languages|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/languages/index.shtml|publisher=BBC|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=18 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718065057/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/languages/index.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=How and When to Listen|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmeguide/|publisher=BBC World Service|access-date=18 July 2012|archive-date=18 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718091721/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmeguide/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Traditionally, the Service relied on shortwave broadcasts, because of their ability to overcome barriers of censorship, distance, and spectrum scarcity. The BBC has maintained a worldwide network of [[shortwave relay station]]s since the 1940s, mainly in former British colonies. These cross-border broadcasts have also been used in special circumstances for emergency messages to [[British subject]]s abroad, such as the advice to evacuate [[Jordan]] during the [[Black September]] incidents of September 1970. These facilities were privatised in 1997 as Merlin Communications, and later acquired and operated as part of a wider network for multiple broadcasters by [[VT Communications]] (now part of [[Babcock International Group]]). It is also common for BBC programmes to air on [[Voice of America]] or [[ORF (broadcaster)|ORF]] transmitters, while their programming is relayed by a station located inside the UK. However, since the 1980s, [[Broadcast satellite|satellite distribution]] has made it possible for local stations to relay BBC programmes.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

BBC World Service is not regulated by [[Ofcom]] as the BBC generally is. Instead, the BBC is responsible for editorial independence and setting strategic direction. It defines the remit, scope, annual budget and main commitments of the World Service, and agrees "objectives, targets and priorities" with the British [[Foreign Secretary]] in a document named the BBC World Service Licence. The Chair of the [[BBC Board]] and the Foreign Secretary (or representatives) meet at least annually to review performance against these objectives, priorities and targets.<ref name=bbc-regulation>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/aboutthebbc/governance/regulation |title=Regulation |publisher=BBC |access-date=18 January 2023}}</ref><ref name=bbc-2018>{{cite web |url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/managementstructure/structureandgovernance/world_service_licence.pdf |title=BBC World Service Licence |publisher=BBC |year=2018 |access-date=18 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815040009/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/insidethebbc/managementstructure/structureandgovernance/world_service_licence.pdf |archive-date=15 August 2022}}</ref>

==Radio programming in English==

[[File:Steve Titherington.jpg|thumb|Steve Titherington - ''BBC World Questions'' broadcasting from Budapest]]
The World Service in English mainly broadcasts news and analysis. The mainstays of the current schedule are ''[[Newsday (BBC World Service)|Newsday]]'', ''[[Newshour]]'' and ''The Newsroom''. Daily science programmes include: ''Health Check'', and ''[[Science in Action – BBC World Service Radio|Science in Action]]''. ''[[Sportsworld (radio)|Sportsworld]]'', which often includes live commentary of [[Premier League]] football matches is broadcast at weekends. Other weekend sport shows include ''The Sports Hour'' and [[Stumped (radio)|''Stumped'']], a cricket programme co-produced with [[All India Radio]] and the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]. On Sundays the international, interdisciplinary discussion programme ''[[The Forum (BBC World Service)|''The Forum'']]'' is broadcast. ''[[Outlook (radio programme)|Outlook]]'' is a human interest programme which was first broadcast in July 1966 and presented for more than thirty years by [[John Tidmarsh]]. ''Trending'' describes itself as "explaining the stories the world is sharing..." Regular music programmes were reintroduced with the autumn schedule in 2015. Many programmes, particularly speech-based ones, are also available as podcasts. ''Business Daily'' is a weekday live international business news programme, which broadcasts from 8:32:30am to 8:59:00am UK time from [[Broadcasting House]] in London.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p002vsxs|title=BBC World Service - Business Daily|access-date=1 November 2021|archive-date=2 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211102211032/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p002vsxs|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Previous radio programming in English==
{{more citations needed|section|date=December 2017}}
Previous broadcasts included popular music programmes presented by [[John Peel]] and classical music programmes presented by [[Edward Greenfield]]. There have also been religious programmes, of mostly Anglican celebration and often from the Church of [[St. Martin in the Fields]], weekly drama, English-language lessons, and comedy including ''[[Just A Minute]]''. Other notable previous programmes include ''[[Letter from America]]'' by [[Alistair Cooke]], which was broadcast for over fifty years; ''Off the Shelf'' with its daily reading from a novel, biography or history book; ''A Jolly Good Show'', a music request programme presented by [[Dave Lee Travis]]; ''Waveguide'', a radio reception guide; and ''The Merchant Navy Programme'', a show for seafarers presented by Malcolm Billings; ''The Morning Show'', ''Good Morning Africa'' and ''PM'', all presented by [[Pete Myers (radio broadcaster)|Pete Myers]] in the 1960s and 1970s.

Since the late 1990s, the station has focused more on news, with bulletins added every half-hour following the outbreak of the [[Iraq War]].

===News===
News is at the core of the [[broadcast programming|scheduling]]. A five-minute bulletin is generally transmitted at 01 past the hour, with a two-minute summary at 30 past the hour. Sometimes these are separate from other programming, or alternatively made integral to the programme (such as with ''The Newsroom'', ''[[Newshour]]'' or ''[[Newsday (BBC World Service)|Newsday]]''). During such time slots as weeknights 11pm-12am GMT and that of ''Sportsworld'', no news summaries are broadcast. As part of the BBC's policy for breaking news, the Service is the first to receive a full report for foreign news.<ref name="BBC News works">{{cite web|last=Boaden|first=Helen|date=22 January 2007|title=Editorial Processes – How BBC News works|url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207054802/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.pdf|archive-date=7 February 2017|access-date=11 August 2012|website=|publisher=BBC Trust|page=4}}</ref>

More than 300 [[Public broadcasting|public radio]] stations across the US carry World Service news broadcasts—mostly during the overnight and early-morning hours—over [[AM broadcasting|AM]] and [[FM broadcasting#See also|FM]] radio, distributed by [[American Public Media]] (APM).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://americanpublicmedia.publicradio.org/press/archive/pr_071212.html |title=BBC World Service Appoints American Public Media as New Distributor in the United States |publisher=APM |date=12 July 2012 |access-date=2 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130126101159/http://americanpublicmedia.publicradio.org/press/archive/pr_071212.html |archive-date=26 January 2013 }}</ref> Some public radio stations also carry the World Service in its entirety via [[HD Radio]]. The BBC and [[Public Radio International]] (PRI) co-produce the programme ''[[The World (radio program)|The World]]'' with [[WGBH (FM)|WGBH]] Radio [[Boston]], and the BBC was previously involved with ''[[The Takeaway]]'' morning news programme based at [[WNYC]] in [[New York City]]. BBC World Service programming also airs as part of [[CBC Radio One]]'s ''[[CBC Radio Overnight]]'' schedule in Canada.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}

BBC shortwave broadcasts to this region were traditionally enhanced by the Atlantic Relay Station and the Caribbean Relay Company, a station in [[Antigua]] run jointly with [[Deutsche Welle]]. In addition, an exchange agreement with [[Radio Canada International]] gave access to their station in [[New Brunswick]]. However, "changing listening habits" led the World Service to end shortwave radio transmission directed to North America and [[Australasia]] on 1 July 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/docs/annual_reports_and_reviews/annual_report_and_accounts/BBC_Annual_Reports_and_Accounts.htm#page54|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202090014/http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/docs/annual_reports_and_reviews/annual_report_and_accounts/BBC_Annual_Reports_and_Accounts.htm#page54|url-status=dead|title=Pages 1–136 from BBC AR Cover 03|archive-date=2 February 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/08/050810_nzandswpacific.shtml |title=BBC World Service | FAQ |publisher=BBC |date=10 August 2005 |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-date=10 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110052617/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/08/050810_nzandswpacific.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> A [[shortwave listening|shortwave listener]] coalition formed to oppose the change.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.savebbc.org/press/6_june_2001.html |title=Save the BBC World Service in North America and the Pacific! – BBC to Cut Off 1.2 Million Listeners on July 1 |website=Savebbc.org |date=6 June 2001 |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101130004805/http://savebbc.org/press/6_june_2001.html |archive-date=30 November 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The BBC broadcasts to Central America and South America in several languages. It is possible to receive the [[West Africa|Western African]] shortwave radio broadcasts from eastern North America, but the BBC does not guarantee reception in this area.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/010119_namerica.shtml |title=FAQ | World Service |publisher=BBC |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-date=18 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918100925/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/010119_namerica.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> It has ended its specialist programming to the [[Falkland Islands]] but continues to provide a stream of World Service programming to the [[Falkland Islands Radio Service]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/02_february/23/falklands.shtml |title=Press Office – Falkland Islands and BBC to boost home-grown media |publisher=BBC |date=23 February 2006 |access-date=16 February 2011 |archive-date=6 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106014444/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/02_february/23/falklands.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Asia===
For several decades, the World Service's largest audiences have been in Asia, the Middle East, [[Near East]] and South Asia. Transmission facilities in the UK and Cyprus were supplemented by the former BBC Eastern Relay Station in [[Oman]] and the [[BBC Far Eastern Relay Station|Far Eastern Relay Station]] in Singapore, formerly in Malaysia. The East Asian Relay Station moved to [[Thailand]] in 1997 when Hong Kong was [[Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong|handed over]] to Chinese sovereignty. The relay station in Thailand was closed during January 2017, and in [[Singapore]] during July 2023;<ref>{{cite news | title = BBC's call will continue after transmissions end | url = https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/bbcs-call-will-continue-after-transmissions-end/MBUUASPXN3PNXAVHUNUTHSVKWA/ | author = Rosaleen Macbrayne | access-date = 30 August 2023 | work = New Zealand Herald }}</ref> currently, a relay station in [[Masirah]], [[Oman]] serves the Asian region. Together, these facilities have given the BBC World Service an easily accessible signal in regions where shortwave listening has traditionally been popular. The English shortwave frequencies of 6.195 (49m band), 9.74 (31m band), 15.31/15.36 (19m band) and 17.76/17.79 (16m band) were widely known. On 25 March 2018, the long-established shortwave frequency of 9.74 MHz was changed to 9.9 MHz.

The largest audiences are in English, [[Hindi]], [[Urdu]], [[Nepali language|Nepali]], [[Bengali language|Bengali]], [[Sinhala language|Sinhala]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and other major languages of South Asia, where BBC broadcasters are household names. The [[Persian language|Persian]] service is the ''de facto'' national broadcaster of [[Afghanistan]], along with its Iranian audience. The World Service is available up to eighteen hours a day in English across most parts of Asia, and in Arabic for the Middle East. With the addition of relays in Afghanistan and Iraq these services are accessible in most of the Middle and Near East in the evening. In Singapore, the BBC World Service in English is essentially treated as a domestic broadcaster, easily available 24/7 through long-term agreement with [[Mediacorp#Radio|MediaCorp Radio]]. For many years [[Radio Television Hong Kong]] broadcast BBC World Service 24/7 but as of 12 February 2021, Hong Kong has banned the BBC's World Service radio from its airwaves, following swiftly on the heels of China's decision to bar its World News television channels, seemingly in retaliation for Ofcom revoking the UK broadcasting licence of China Global Television Network. In the [[Philippines]], [[DZRJ-AM|DZRJ 810 AM]] broadcasts the BBC World Service in English from 12:00–05:00 [[Philippine Standard Time|PHT]] ([[GMT+8]]).

Although this region has seen the launch of the only two foreign language television channels, several other services have had their radio services closed as a result of budget cuts and redirection of resources.<ref>{{cite news | title = BBC Thai service ends broadcasts | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4609860.stm | author = Clare Harkey | date = 13 March 2006 | access-date = 8 November 2008 | work = BBC News | archive-date = 18 December 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081218021705/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4609860.stm | url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12864041 |title=BBC Chinese Service makes final broadcast in Mandarin |author=Vivien Marsh |publisher=BBC |date=28 March 2011 |access-date=25 October 2011 |archive-date=11 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511224200/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12864041 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Japan and Korea have little tradition of World Service listening, although during the Second World War and in the 1970s to 1980s, shortwave listening was popular in Japan. In those two countries, the BBC World Service was only available via shortwave and the Internet. As of September 2007, a satellite transmission (subscription required) became available by Skylife (Channel 791) in South Korea. In November 2016, the BBC World Service announced it plans to start broadcasts in Korean. ''BBC Korean'', a radio and web service, started on 25 September 2017.<ref name=38north-20170926>{{cite web |url=http://www.38north.org/2017/09/mwilliams092617/ |title=Option for North Korean Radio Listeners |last=Williams |first=Martyn |publisher=U.S.-Korea Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies |work=38 North |date=26 September 2017 |access-date=28 September 2017 |archive-date=27 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170927034911/http://www.38north.org/2017/09/mwilliams092617/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Europe===
The BBC World Service is broadcast in Berlin on 94.8 MHz. FM relays are also available in Ceske Budjovice, Karlovy Vary, Plzen, Usti nad Labem, Zlin and Prague in the Czech Republic, Pristina, Riga, Tallinn, Tirana and Vilnius. The station is also available in Reykjavík, Iceland on 94.5 MHz FM.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC World Service coming back to Iceland |url=https://icelandmag.is/article/bbc-world-service-coming-back-iceland |access-date=2023-06-25 |website=Icelandmag |language=en}}</ref> A BBC World Service channel is available on [[DAB+]] in Brussels and Flanders and Amsterdam, the Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam.

The World Service employed a [[Orfordness transmitting station|medium wave transmitter]] at [[Orford Ness]] to provide English-language coverage to Europe, including on the [[frequency]] 648 [[kHz]] (which could be heard in parts of the south-east of England during the day and most of the UK after dark). Transmissions on this frequency were stopped on 27 March 2011, as a consequence of the budgetary constraints imposed on the BBC World Service in the 2010 budget review.<ref>{{cite web|title=BBC World Service: The closure of 648 kHz medium wave|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2011/02/110208_648khz_mw_closure.shtml|publisher=BBC|access-date=11 August 2012|archive-date=2 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302130012/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2011/02/110208_648khz_mw_closure.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> A second channel (1296 kHz) traditionally broadcast in various Central European languages, but this frequency has also been discontinued and in 2005 it began regular English-language transmissions via the [[Digital Radio Mondiale]] (DRM) format.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/09/050907_drm_launch_release.shtml|title=BBC Launches DRM Service in Europe|publisher=BBC World Service|date=7 September 2005|access-date=15 November 2006|archive-date=29 December 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061229085829/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/faq/news/story/2005/09/050907_drm_launch_release.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> This is a digital shortwave technology that VT expects to become the standard for cross-border transmissions in developed countries.

In the 1990s, the BBC purchased and constructed large medium wave and FM networks in the former Soviet bloc, particularly the Czech (BBC Czech Section), Slovak Republics (BBC Slovak Section), Poland ([[BBC Polish Section]]) (where it was a national network) and Russia ([[BBC Russian Service]]). It had built up a strong audience during the Cold War, whilst economic restructuring made it difficult for these governments to refuse Western investment. Many of these facilities have now returned to domestic control, as economic and political conditions have changed.

On Monday, 18 February 2008, the BBC World Service stopped analogue shortwave transmissions to Europe. The notice stated, "Increasing numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen to radio on a range of other platforms including FM, satellite and online, with fewer listening on shortwave."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5nCxH0NlsPtyW8WvJ0rwDJP/about-world-service-radio|title=BBC - About World Service radio|website=BBC|access-date=31 October 2019|archive-date=8 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191108015309/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5nCxH0NlsPtyW8WvJ0rwDJP/about-world-service-radio|url-status=live}}</ref> It is sometimes possible to pick up the BBC World Service in Europe on SW frequencies targeted at North Africa. The BBC's powerful 198 kHz LW, which broadcasts the domestic [[BBC Radio 4]] to Britain during the day (and carries the World Service during the night) can also be heard in nearby parts of Europe, including the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of France, Germany and Scandinavia.

In Malta, BBC News bulletins are carried by a number of radio stations, including Radju Malta and Magic 91.7, owned by national broadcaster PBS Ltd. These are broadcast at various points in the day and supplement news bulletins broadcast in Maltese from the PBS Newsroom.

Former BBC shortwave transmitters are located in the United Kingdom at [[Rampisham Down]] in [[Dorset]], [[Woofferton transmitting station|Woofferton]] in [[Shropshire]] and [[Skelton transmitter|Skelton]] in [[Cumbria]]. The former [[British East Mediterranean Relay Station|BBC East Mediterranean Relay Station]] is in [[Cyprus]].

In response to the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the BBC began broadcasting World Service English programming at shortwave frequencies 15.735 MHz and 5875 kHz for receivers in Ukraine and parts of Russia.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Millions of Russians turn to BBC News|publisher=[[BBC]]|location=London|date=2 March 2022|accessdate=3 March 2022|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2022/millions-of-russians-turn-to-bbc-news|archive-date=2 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220302232002/https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2022/millions-of-russians-turn-to-bbc-news|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=BBC Revives Shortwave Radio Dispatches in Ukraine and Draws Ire of Russia|first=Tiffany|last=Hsu|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=3 March 2022|accessdate=3 March 2022|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/03/business/media/bbc-shortwave-radio-ukraine.html|archive-date=18 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318142410/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/03/business/media/bbc-shortwave-radio-ukraine.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Pacific===
The World Service is available as part of the [[subscription]] Digital Air package (available from [[Foxtel]] and [[Austar]]) in Australia. [[ABC NewsRadio]], [[SBS Radio]], and various [[community radio]] stations also broadcast many programmes. Many of these stations broadcast a straight feed during the midnight to dawn period. It was also available via the [[satellite service]] [[Optus Aurora]], which is encrypted but available without subscription. In Sydney, Australia, a transmission of the service can be received at 152.025 MHz. It is also available on the [[Digital radio in Australia|DAB+ Network in Australia]] on [[SBS Radio]] 4 (except during [[Eurovision Song Contest|Eurovision]] and special events). 2MBS-FM 102.5, a classical music station in Sydney, also carries the BBC World Service news programmes at 7a.m. and 8a.m. on weekdays, during its ''Music for a New Day'' breakfast programme.

Shortwave relays from Singapore (see Asia, above) continue, but historic relays via [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)]] and [[Radio New Zealand International]] were wound down in the late 1990s. BBC World Service relays on [[Radio Australia]] now carry the BBC Radio news programmes.

In New Zealand, AREC FM carries the BBC World Service 24/7 in the [[Wellington]] region. Available on 107.0 MHz in the CBD, 87.6 MHz in [[Porirua]]/Mana, and 87.9 MHz in [[Waikanae]]/[[Paraparaumu]]. AREC FM is a non-profit donation funded LPFM broadcaster and a subscriber to the [[Community Broadcasting Association of Australia]]'s [[Community Radio Network (Australia)]].

In New Zealand, [[Radio Tarana]] and members of the [[Association of Community Access Broadcasters]] carry some BBC World Service programmes. The BBC World Service was previously available on 1233 kHz in Wellington between 1990 and 1994, and again from 1996 to 1997.

===UK===
The BBC World Service is broadcast on [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]], [[Freeview (UK)|Freeview]], [[Virgin Media]] and [[Sky UK|Sky]] platforms. It is also broadcast overnight on the frequencies of [[BBC Radio 4]] and the [[Welsh language]] service [[BBC Radio Cymru]] following their closedown at 0000 or 0100 British time. The BBC World Service does not receive funding for broadcasts to the UK. In southeast England, the station could be picked up reliably on medium wave 648 kHz, which was targeted at mainland Europe.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

According to [[RAJAR]], the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 1.2 million with a listening share of 0.7% as of March 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rajar.co.uk/listening/quarterly_listening.php|title=RAJAR }}</ref>

==Presentation==

===Opening tune===
[[File:BBC World Service Top of Hour.ogg|thumb|A previous BBC World Service signature tune and an example of a top-of-the-hour announcement]]
The World Service uses several tunes and sounds to represent the station. A previous signature tune of the station was a five note motif, composed by David Arnold and which comprises a variety of voices declaim "This is the BBC in..." before going on to name various cities (e.g. [[Kampala]], [[Milan]], [[Delhi]], [[Johannesburg]]), followed by the station's slogan and the [[Greenwich Time Signal]].<ref name=signature>{{cite web | title = What is the BBC World Service signature tune? | url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/03/000000_ws_sig_tune.shtml | publisher = BBC | access-date = 4 September 2010 | archive-date = 9 February 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110209040114/http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/institutional/2009/03/000000_ws_sig_tune.shtml | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name=music>{{cite web | title = Audio Identities | url = http://imagedissectors.com/article/46 | author = Robert Weedon | date = 16 December 2009 | access-date = 4 September 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100922192529/http://www.imagedissectors.com/article/46 | archive-date = 22 September 2010 | url-status=dead }}</ref> This was heard throughout the network with a few variations – in the UK the full service name was spoken, whereas just the name of the BBC was used outside the UK. The phrase "This is London" was used previously in place of a station slogan.

The tune "[[Lillibullero]]" was another well known signature tune of the network following its broadcast previously as part of the top-of-the-hour sequence.<ref name=music/> This piece of music is no longer heard before news bulletins.<ref name=signature/> The use of the tune gained minor controversy because of its background as a [[Protestant]] marching song in [[Northern Ireland]].<ref name=signature/><ref name=music/>

The ''[[Prince of Denmark's March]]'' (commonly known as the ''Trumpet Voluntary'') was often broadcast by the BBC Radio during [[World War II]], especially when programming was directed to [[occupied Denmark]], as the march symbolised a connection between the two countries. It remained for many years the signature tune of the BBC European Service.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.orbem.co.uk/grams/grams_5.htm | title=BBC Station Idents and Interval Signals | access-date=17 July 2020 | archive-date=28 January 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200128103855/http://www.orbem.co.uk/grams/grams_5.htm | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.intervalsignals.net/countries/uk-bbcws.htm | title=Interval Signals Online - United Kingdom (BBC World Service) | access-date=17 July 2020 | archive-date=18 July 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200718010028/http://www.intervalsignals.net/countries/uk-bbcws.htm | url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:BBC World Service Big Ben 1-1-2009.ogg|thumb|left|The BBC World Service announcement and the chimes of Big Ben at midnight GMT, 1 January 2009]]
In addition to these tunes, the BBC World Service also uses several [[interval signal]]s. The English service uses a recording of [[Bow Bells]], made in 1926 and used a symbol of hope during the [[Second World War]], only replaced for a brief time during the 1970s with the tune to the nursery rhyme "[[Oranges and Lemons]]". The morse code of the letter "[[V]]" has also been used as a signal and was introduced in January 1941 and had several variations including [[timpani]], the first four notes of [[Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)|Beethoven's Fifth Symphony]] (which coincide with the letter "V"), and electronic tones which until recently remained in use for some Western European services. In other languages, the interval signal is three notes, pitched B–B-C. However, these symbols have been used less frequently.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

===Time===
The network operates using [[Greenwich Mean Time]], regardless of the time zone and time of year, and is announced on the hour on the English service as "13 hours GMT" (1300 GMT) or "Midnight Greenwich Mean Time" (0000 GMT). The BBC World Service traditionally broadcasts the chimes of [[Big Ben]] in London at the start of a new year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC Pips |url=https://greenwichmeantime.com/articles/clocks/bbc-pips/ |access-date=March 28, 2024 |website=greenwichmeantime.com}}</ref>

==="This is London"===
A BBC News report would begin with its [[station identification]] phrase "This is London" or "This is London calling".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.turnipnet.com/whirligig/radio/index.htm|title=1950's British Radio Nostalgia|website=www.turnipnet.com|access-date=11 January 2021|archive-date=25 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201225231901/http://www.turnipnet.com/whirligig/radio/index.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The phrase has become a trademark of the BBC World Service, and has been influential in popular culture, such as music. In 1979, the British punk rock band [[The Clash]] released the hit song "[[London Calling (song)|London Calling]]",<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/clash-london-calling-album-facts-923232/|title=The Clash's 'London Calling': 10 Things You Didn't Know|first1=Andy|last1=Greene|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=13 December 2019|access-date=11 January 2021|archive-date=17 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117003930/https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/clash-london-calling-album-facts-923232/|url-status=live}}</ref> which was partly based on the station identification phrase.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://enviro-history.com/london-calling.html|title=London Calling|website=enviro-history.com|access-date=11 January 2021|archive-date=13 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210113165642/http://enviro-history.com/london-calling.html|url-status=live}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=June 2024}}

During the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], before announcing the contest points from the UK, the broadcaster from the BBC delivering the votes usually begins with "This is London Calling". In 2019, the BBC started a weekly podcast called ''Eurovision Calling'' with Jayde Adams and [[Scott Mills]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Eurovision Calling | publisher=BBC | date=19 February 2021 | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0704rjr | access-date=26 February 2021 | archive-date=25 February 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225215009/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0704rjr | url-status=live }}</ref>

In the context of the [[Iranian Revolution]], the BBC World Service's [[BBC Persian|Persian-language service]] has been criticised for its role in promoting the [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah]]'s regime and undermining local norms in favour of British-selected values, with the [[List of diplomats of the United Kingdom to Iran|British Ambassador in Iran]], [[Peter Ramsbotham]], stating in reaction to a Service-sponsored poetry contest (in celebration of the [[2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire|2500th anniversary]] of the founding of the [[Achaemenid Empire|Archaemenid empire]]) that the organisation "seems to be damaging its image by acquiring a reputation for employing and supporting 'old brigade' expatriates."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ramsbotham |first1=Peter |title=Telegram from P. Ramsbotham to M. Dodd |date=17 July 1971 |publisher=BBC Written Archives Centre |location=Tehran }}</ref>

Furthermore, it appears{{according to whom|date=March 2023}} that the [[Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office|Foreign & Commonwealth Office]] made a concerted effort to produce favourable coverage of Persia to BBC World Service audiences in order to maintain cordiality with the Shah's regime. For example, in December 1973, a memo from Ramsbotham details a request from the [[Prime Minister of Iran|Iranian Prime Minister]] for the text of a broadcast about Iran by [[Peter Avery]], lecturer in Persian Studies and Fellow at [[King's College, Cambridge]], which he deemed 'excellent' and wanted to show the Shah. This later became the programme ''Iran: Oil and the Shah's Arab Neighbours'' which was aired globally on 1 December 1973, much to the chagrin of the Iranian people, who began airing their frustrations against the British government out on the BBC Persian Service; By 1976, Ramsbotham's successor, [[Sir Anthony Parsons]], concluded that the Persian Service has lost its propaganda value and supported discontinuing the service: "[It] is well known that the vernacular service is financed by the FCO and is therefore firmly considered by the Iranians as an official organ of the government."<ref>{{cite book |title="Central Current Affairs Talks External Broadcasting" |date=1 December 1973 |publisher=Foreign and Commonwealth Office |edition=O26/1374 - 35 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Ramsbotham |first1=Peter |title=Ramsbotham to Managing Director of External Broadcasting |date=27 October 1973 |publisher=BBC Written Archives Centre |location=Tehran }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Parsons |first1=Sir Anthony |title=Telegram from A Parsons to N J Barrington on "BBC Persian Service" |date=4 July 1976 |publisher=Foreign and Commonwealth Office |location=Tehran |edition=9 FCO 8/2762 }}</ref>

In September 2022, the World Service announced the closure of its Persian and Arabic radio services as part of a cost-cutting plan, but the online and TV services would remain.<ref name=ft-20221207/><ref name=guardian-20220929>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/sep/29/hundreds-of-jobs-to-go-as-bbc-announces-world-service-cutbacks |title=Hundreds of jobs to go as BBC announces World Service cutbacks |last=Waterson |first=Jim |newspaper=The Guardian |date=29 September 2022 |access-date=12 January 2023}}</ref>

===Draw===
The group stage draw was held on December 7, 2023, at 19:30 [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]] ([[UTC−05:00|UTC−5]]) in the [[James L. Knight Center]] in [[Miami, Florida]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://copaamerica.com/news/conoceremos-los-grupos-para-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/|title=Conoceremos los grupos para la CONMEBOL Copa América 2024|publisher=CONMEBOL|website=CONMEBOL.com|date=November 10, 2023|language=es|access-date=November 12, 2023|archive-date=November 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231114023704/https://copaamerica.com/news/conoceremos-los-grupos-para-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/|url-status=live}}</ref> The sixteen teams were drawn into four groups of four, by selecting one team from each of the four ranked pots.

For the draw, the four teams in Pot 1 were pre-seeded into their respective groups, determined as follows:
* The reigning Copa América champions, Argentina, were seeded into Group A
* The reigning CONCACAF Gold Cup champions, Mexico, were seeded into Group B
* The highest ranked CONCACAF team in the October 2023 [[FIFA Men's World Rankings|FIFA World Rankings]], the United States, was seeded into Group C
* The next-highest ranked CONMEBOL team in the October 2023 FIFA World Rankings, Brazil, was seeded into Group D

The remaining 12 teams were placed into Pots 2–4 according to their October 2023 World Rankings, with placeholders for the 2 CONCACAF participants yet to be determined at the time of the draw each being automatically placed into Pot 4.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://cdn.conmebol.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/CONMEBOL-Copa-America-2024-Regulations__ENG-.pdf|title=CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 Regulations|publisher=CONMEBOL|date=November 29, 2023|access-date=December 1, 2023|archive-date=December 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231201144229/https://cdn.conmebol.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/CONMEBOL-Copa-America-2024-Regulations__ENG-.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>

For the draw, the competition rules state that no group can have more than three CONMEBOL teams or more than two CONCACAF teams. If this condition was not met during the draw, the team moved to the next available group in alphabetical order.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 4, 2023 |title=Key points of the 2024 Copa America draw: Seeded teams, draw pots, and rules |url=https://www.sambafoot.com/news/key-points-of-the-2024-copa-america-draw-seeded-teams-draw-pots-and-rules |access-date=December 7, 2023 |website=Sambafoot EN |archive-date=December 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205160416/https://www.sambafoot.com/news/key-points-of-the-2024-copa-america-draw-seeded-teams-draw-pots-and-rules |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Symbols==

===Mascot===

The tournament's official mascot was unveiled on December 7, 2023, during the group stage draw. It's an eagle named "Capitán", which is a Spanish word meaning captain. The inspiration for the choice of an eagle as the mascot for the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024, was born from the symbolism that this majestic animal has in various cultures of the Americas, illustrating strength, boldness, and excellence.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CAPITÁN will be the official mascot of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 |url=https://copaamerica.com/news/capitan-sera-la-mascota-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |access-date=2023-12-08 |website=copaamerica.com |language=en-US |archive-date=January 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106043731/https://copaamerica.com/news/capitan-sera-la-mascota-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Match ball ===

The match balls of this tournament will be provided by Puma for the first time after 20 years of partnership with Nike ended in 2023. The "Puma Cumbre" was unveiled during the draw for the Group Stage of the competition on December 7, 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PUMA Cumbre: the official ball of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 |url=https://copaamerica.com/news/puma-cumbre-el-balon-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |access-date=2023-12-08 |website=copaamerica.com |language= |archive-date=January 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106021638/https://copaamerica.com/news/puma-cumbre-el-balon-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Music===
Instead of one official song, multiple songs, in Spanish (the tournament's official language) and English (the main language of the host country), will be used for the tournament.

A customized version of "[[Puntería]]" by Colombian singer [[Shakira]] serves as the Spanish-language official song of the tournament, with it also being used for [[TUDN (brand)|TUDN]]'s coverage.<ref> https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/shakiras-punteria-televisaunivision-copa-america-coverage-song-2024-1235683010/</ref>

==Symbols==

===Mascot===

The tournament's official mascot was unveiled on December 7, 2023, during the group stage draw. It's an eagle named "Capitán", which is a Spanish word meaning captain. The inspiration for the choice of an eagle as the mascot for the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024, was born from the symbolism that this majestic animal has in various cultures of the Americas, illustrating strength, boldness, and excellence.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CAPITÁN will be the official mascot of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 |url=https://copaamerica.com/news/capitan-sera-la-mascota-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |access-date=2023-12-08 |website=copaamerica.com |language=en-US |archive-date=January 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106043731/https://copaamerica.com/news/capitan-sera-la-mascota-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Match ball ===

The match balls of this tournament will be provided by Puma for the first time after 20 years of partnership with Nike ended in 2023. The "Puma Cumbre" was unveiled during the draw for the Group Stage of the competition on December 7, 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PUMA Cumbre: the official ball of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 |url=https://copaamerica.com/news/puma-cumbre-el-balon-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |access-date=2023-12-08 |website=copaamerica.com |language= |archive-date=January 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106021638/https://copaamerica.com/news/puma-cumbre-el-balon-oficial-de-la-conmebol-copa-america-2024/?lang=en |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Music===
Instead of one official song, multiple songs, in Spanish (the tournament's official language) and English (the main language of the host country), will be used for the tournament.

A customized version of "[[Puntería]]" by Colombian singer [[Shakira]] serves as the Spanish-language official song of the tournament, with it also being used for [[TUDN (brand)|TUDN]]'s coverage.<ref> https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/shakiras-punteria-televisaunivision-copa-america-coverage-song-2024-1235683010/</ref>

Civil defense by country

{{Short description|Non military engineering services}}

{{More citations needed|date=October 2022}}

Many countries around the world have [[civil defense]] organizations dedicated to protecting civilians from military attacks and providing rescue services after widespread disasters. In most countries, civil defense is a government-managed and often volunteer-staffed organization.

Towards the end of the Cold War, a number of civil defense organizations have been disbanded or mothballed (as in the case of the [[Royal Observer Corps]] in the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States civil defense]]), while others have changed their focuses into providing rescue services after natural disasters (as for the [[State Emergency Service]] in [[Australia]]).

'''Radio Television Hong Kong''' ('''RTHK''') is the [[public broadcasting]] service in Hong Kong. GOW, the predecessor to RTHK, was established in 1928 as the first broadcasting service in Hong Kong. As a government department under the [[Commerce and Economic Development Bureau]] of the [[Hong Kong Government]] that directly supported by annual government funding, RTHK's educational, entertainment, and public affairs programmes are broadcast on its eight radio channels and five television channels, as well as [[Commercial broadcasting|commercial television]] channels.

==History==
[[File:Hong-Kong-Emmas-Radio-Show-RTHK-Radio-Sep-07-2001-00.JPG|thumb|right|Hong Kong RTHK Radio live with Emma's Classical Music Radio Show]]

The [[British Hong Kong]] Government launched its first radio broadcasting station, known as "'''GOW'''", on 20 June 1928,{{sfn|Man|1998|p=12}} with a starting staff of only six people.<ref name="rthkhistory">{{Cite web|url=http://www.rthk.org.hk/classicschannel/history.htm|title=經典重溫頻道 Classics Channel — 細說歷史 History|publisher=RTHK|access-date=6 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303214135/http://www.rthk.org.hk/classicschannel/history.htm|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=scmp_2172002>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/2172002/exhibition-hong-kong-public-service-broadcasting-heritage|title=Exhibition on Hong Kong public service broadcasting at Heritage Museum in Sha Tin tells story of RTHK|last=Ng|first=Kang-chung|date=6 November 2018|website=South China Morning Post|access-date=28 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328072014/https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/2172002/exhibition-hong-kong-public-service-broadcasting-heritage|archive-date=28 March 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Several name changes occurred over the next few years, and it eventually became known as "'''Radio Hong Kong'''" ('''RHK''') ({{zh|t=香港廣播電台|labels=no}}) in 1948.<ref name="rthkhistory" />

In 1949, broadcasting operations were taken over by the [[Government Information Services]] (GIS), but by 1954, RHK had managed to establish itself as an independent department. Up until 1966, the radio station was only on-air for three periods during the day; at morning, lunchtime, and evening. This was partly due to many of the presenters being part-time freelancers who had to fit their radio appearances in with their normal daily working schedule.

In 1969, the station's [[mediumwave|medium wave]] [[AM radio|AM]] transmitting station was moved from a waterfront site in [[Hung Hom]] to the summit of Golden Hill in the [[New Territories]]. Although the new transmitters were much more powerful, the mountain-top site proved unsuitable for medium wave transmissions and reception in some areas has remained problematic ever since. In March 1969, RHK moved its headquarters to new purpose-built studios located at Broadcasting House ({{zh|t=廣播大廈|labels=no}}) in [[Kowloon Tong]].

A Public Affairs Television Unit was established in 1970 to produce TV programmes for required broadcast by independent channels. At that time, RTHK did not have its own television broadcast transmitters.

In 1973, RTHK set up its own radio newsroom. Prior to this, all news had been prepared by Government Information Services staff. Until 1969, headlines were sent to the studios every half-hour by [[teleprinter]] from the GIS headquarters in [[Central, Hong Kong|Central District]], while the three daily full bulletins were hand-delivered by a messenger. This arrangement became impractical following the move to the new studios in 1969, so initially a GIS newsroom was set up in Broadcasting House. This arrangement also proved unsatisfactory and RTHK's own journalists, who until then had been confined to producing magazine programmes, took over the entire news operation.

In 1976, the station's name was changed to "'''Radio Television Hong Kong'''" ('''RTHK''') to reflect its new involvement in television programme production. In the same year, it began to produce educational television programmes for schools after absorbing the previously independent Educational Television Unit.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://rthk9.rthk.hk/classicschannel/history.htm |title=經典重溫頻道 Classics Channel – 細說歷史 History |access-date=6 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001053248/http://rthk9.rthk.hk/classicschannel/history.htm |archive-date=1 October 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ahSRDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA228 |title=The British Official Film in South-East Asia: Malaya/Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong |isbn=9781137493446 |access-date=13 November 2019 |archive-date=23 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210623130629/https://books.google.com/books?id=ahSRDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA228 |url-status=live |last1=Aitken |first1=Ian |date=22 November 2016 |publisher=Springer }}</ref>

In 1986, RTHK headquarters moved across the road to the former [[Commercial Television (Hong Kong TV station)|Commercial Television]] studios, which were renamed Television House. The station's first news and financial news channel, Radio 7, was established in November 1989.

In December 1994, RTHK launched its website and made its television productions, as well as content from its seven radio channels, available online. The website provided live broadcasts as well as a twelve-month archive (with the exception of [[Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination|HKCEE]] and [[Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination|HKALE]] broadcasts in RTHK2 due to copyright issues with the [[Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority]]). The website, presented in English, [[Traditional Chinese]], and [[Simplified Chinese]], initially offered free news via email three times per day, as well as online content.

In 2013, RTHK trialled and launched a new television channel. To support this new television operation, the government administration increased the station's funding by between HK$300 million and HK$400 million a year.<ref name=thestandard_20130726>{{cite web|url=http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=5&art_id=135893&sid=40000932&con_type=3&d_str=20130726&fc=8|title=RTHK focuses on new channel|date=26 July 2013|work=The Standard|author=Siu Sai Wo|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714222105/http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=5&art_id=135893&sid=40000932&con_type=3&d_str=20130726&fc=8|archive-date=14 July 2014}}</ref>

In April 2016, RTHK took over the analogue channel frequencies of [[Asia Television]] (ATV) after the latter's free television licence expired.<ref name="variety-licensepulled">{{cite web|title=Hong Kong Government Strips ATV of Broadcast License|url=https://variety.com/2015/biz/asia/hong-kong-government-strips-atv-of-broadcast-license-1201464903/|website=Variety|date=2 April 2015|access-date=18 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324223903/http://variety.com/2015/biz/asia/hong-kong-government-strips-atv-of-broadcast-license-1201464903/|archive-date=24 March 2016|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="cd-rhtkanalog">{{cite web|title=RTHK invited to provide analog TV service|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hkedition/2015-04/03/content_19988835.htm|website=China Daily|access-date=18 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328141011/http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hkedition/2015-04/03/content_19988835.htm|archive-date=28 March 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

In March 2017, as the Hong Kong government decided to terminate DAB services in Hong Kong, RTHK said that it would integrate the existing DAB programmes into existing AM and FM radio channels. As the government claimed that RTHK would stop DAB service within six months, meaning DAB service would be terminated no later than 30 September 2017.<ref name=archive_201704200459>[http://app3.rthk.hk/press/main.php?id=1501 Statement of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) on the termination of Digital Audio Broadcasting services] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170420045942/http://app3.rthk.hk/press/main.php?id=1501 |date=20 April 2017 }}, RTHK, 28 March 2017</ref>

With the termination of DAB+ in Hong Kong, RTHK announced in August 2017 that the broadcaster's relay of [[BBC World Service]] on Radio 6 would be reduced to 8 hours a day and move to an overnight slot on Radio 4; Radio 6 would instead relay [[China National Radio]]'s programme 14 which targets Hong Kong. CNR's programme 14 was previously heard on RTHK DAB 2 until DAB services in Hong Kong were shut down.<ref name=archive_20170811>[http://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1347634-20170811.htm National Radio to replace RTHK's BBC relay] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170823074136/http://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1347634-20170811.htm |date=23 August 2017 }}, RTHK, 11 August 2017</ref><ref name=archive_201708231147>[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/aug/13/radio-silence-24-hour-broadcast-of-bbc-world-service-dropped-in-hong-kong Radio silence: 24-hour broadcast of BBC World Service dropped in Hong Kong] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170823114752/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/aug/13/radio-silence-24-hour-broadcast-of-bbc-world-service-dropped-in-hong-kong |date=23 August 2017 }}, ''[[The Guardian]]'', 13 August 2017</ref>

Since 2020, RTHK programmes are no longer broadcast on TVB channels. In February 2021 it announced it would cease entirely relaying [[BBC World Service]] radio broadcasts following Chinese government criticism of the BBC.<ref name=bbc_56030340>{{cite web|title=China bans BBC World News from broadcasting|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-56030340|work=[[BBC News]]|date=12 February 2021|accessdate=12 February 2021|archive-date=12 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210212003059/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-56030340|url-status=live}}</ref> Leung Ka-wing, Director of Broadcasting, said it was his decision to follow Beijing's lead in shutting off BBC, and that "Hong Kong is part of China and Radio Television Hong Kong is a department of the HKSAR Government.

=== 2021 management change ===
Following complaints from pro-Beijing politicians and groups for alleged bias against the police and the government, the government initiated a review of operations at the broadcaster.<ref name=hongkongfp_20210407_govt-can-charge/> In February 2021, the [[Commerce and Economic Development Bureau]] issued a report on RTHK's governance and management at a press briefing in which the broadcaster was criticised as having "weak editorial accountability". It was further alleged in the report that there were no clear records of its decision-making process on controversial and sensitive matters, while complaints handling was said to lack "sufficient transparency."<ref name="hongkongfp_20210219_deficiencies">{{Cite web |date=19 February 2021 |title=Hong Kong gov't report finds 'deficiencies' in public broadcaster RTHK's editorial management |url=https://hongkongfp.com/2021/02/19/hong-kong-govt-report-finds-deficiencies-in-public-broadcaster-rthks-editorial-management/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210610085401/https://hongkongfp.com/2021/02/19/hong-kong-govt-report-finds-deficiencies-in-public-broadcaster-rthks-editorial-management/ |archive-date=10 June 2021 |access-date=10 June 2021 |website=[[HKFP]]}}</ref> The government announced the Director of Broadcasting Leung Ka-wing would leave his post six months prior to the expiry of his contract, and that he would be replaced by incumbent Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs Patrick Li – a career civil servant without experience in broadcasting.<ref name=hongkongfp_20210219_deficiencies/><ref name=theguardian_20210602_sensitive/>

In August 2021, RTHK partnered with the mainland [[China Media Group]], in a move that RTHK said was intended to strengthen "patriotism" in its programs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thediplomat.com/2022/06/hong-kong-is-unrecognizable-after-2-years-under-the-national-security-law/|title=Hong Kong is unrecognizable after 2 Years under the National Security Law|first=Angeli|last=Datt|work=[[The Diplomat]]|date=20 June 2022|access-date=2 July 2022}}</ref>

The analogue television channels (TV31A and TV33A) ceased broadcasting on 30 November 2020.

=== Television programmes ===

==== Public affairs ====
RTHK primarily produces public affairs programmes such as ''[[Hong Kong Connection]]'' ({{lang|zh-hk|鏗鏘集}}), ''[[Headliner (TV programme)|Headliner]]'' ({{lang|zh-hk|頭條新聞}}), ''A Week in Politics'' ({{lang|zh-hk|議事論事}}), ''Media Watch'' ({{lang|zh-hk|傳媒春秋}}), ''Pentaprism'' ({{lang|zh-hk|五稜鏡}}), ''Access'' ({{lang|zh-hk|奉告}}), ''[[The Pulse (TV programme)|The Pulse]]'' and ''[[Police Report (TV series)|Police Report]]'' ({{lang|zh-hk|警訊}}). These are also broadcast by Hong Kong's three commercial television channels, [[TVB]], [[ViuTV]] and [[Fantastic Television|HKIBC]], in addition to RTHK's own television network. The government has lifted the requirement since March 2020, therefore TVB no longer broadcasts them.

==== Dramas ====
It has also produced TV dramas, including the classic ''[[Below the Lion Rock]]'' ({{lang|zh-hk|獅子山下}}).

====ETV====
RTHK and the Hong Kong [[Education Bureau]] jointly produce [[Educational Television (Hong Kong)|Educational Television]] (ETV, {{lang|zh-hk|教育電視}}), a series of educational programmes for primary and secondary students – airing during non-peak hours on RTHK stations. ETV was first broadcast in 1971 for Primary 3 students and was extended to Primary 6 students in 1974. In 1978, it was extended to cover junior secondary (Form 1-Form 3) students. RTHK formerly broadcast these programmes on their stations during non-peak daytime hours.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}

While school programmes covering the topics of English, Chinese, Mathematics and Mandarin Chinese are provided to both primary and secondary students, Science and [[Humanities]] programmes are provided for secondary school students only and General Studies programmes are designed for primary students only.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}}

There has been confusion between ETV and the ETV division of RTHK. Besides school ETV programmes, the ETV division of RTHK produces public educational television programmes for general viewers, such as ''Road Back'' ({{lang|zh-hk|鐵窗邊緣}}), ''Anti-Drug Special'' ({{lang|zh-hk|毒海浮生}}), ''Sex Education'' ({{lang|zh-hk|性本善}}), and ''Doctor and You'' ({{lang|zh-hk|醫生與你}}).{{citation needed|date=August 2019}}

The nature documentary ''Biodiversity in Hong Kong'' (大自然大不同) follows the style of BBC Planet Earth but is narrated in Cantonese. It showcases the ecosystem and biodiversity of Hong Kong.<ref>{{Cite web|title=香港電台電視大自然大不同|url=https://www.rthk.hk/tv/dtt31/programme/biodiversityinhk|access-date=18 June 2020|publisher=RTHK|language=zh-hant|archive-date=19 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200619095151/https://www.rthk.hk/tv/dtt31/programme/biodiversityinhk|url-status=live}}</ref>

The high production cost of school ETV programmes was criticised by the [[Audit Commission (Hong Kong)|Audit Commission]]. In 2017–18, the production cost of school ETV programmes was a staggering HK$1.58 million per hour.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.aud.gov.hk/pdf_e/e71ch05sum.pdf |title=Radio Television Hong Kong: Provision of programmes (Executive Summary of Director of Audit's Report no. 71 Chapter no. 5, Oct 2018) |access-date=26 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926104435/https://www.aud.gov.hk/pdf_e/e71ch05sum.pdf |archive-date=26 September 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Controversies==

===Misconduct===
In 2002, a former Chief Programme Officer was convicted of [[misconduct]] in public office. The charges related to approving salary increases for one RTHK employee without complying with procedures.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}

On 8 June 2006, the [[Independent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong)|Independent Commission Against Corruption]] (ICAC) of Hong Kong arrested four people on corruption-related charges, including a deputy head of RTHK 2 and a disc jockey, who were arrested for committing scams totalling about HK$70,000 from 1995 to 2001. They were alleged to have conspired and sold scripts for various programmes that they did not write. Another former disc jockey and her mother were alleged to have aided the conspiracy by using their bank accounts by receiving payments from the radio station. All four were arrested and were released on bail.<ref>Albert Wong and Mimi Lau, [http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=11&art_id=20381&sid=8313378&con_type=3&d_str=20060608&sear_year=2006 Four held on RTHK script con] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090328175204/http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=11&art_id=20381&sid=8313378&con_type=3&d_str=20060608&sear_year=2006 |date=28 March 2009 }}, ''The Standard'', 8 June 2006</ref>

RTHK was also criticised by the Audit Commission of the Hong Kong Government for its problems on complying with regulations on staff management. The report especially highlighted the misuse of public funds by the RTHK staff on entertainment expenses, overtime claims and the outsourcing of services.<ref>Leslie Kwoh, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331000328/http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=11&art_id=22781&sid=8825182&con_type=1&d_str=20060713&sear_year=2006 Lawmakers chide RTHK managers] , ''The Standard'', 13 July 2006</ref>

In July 2007, the head of RTHK and Director of Broadcasting was accidentally spotted by a group of journalists in Causeway Bay along with an unidentified female. The journalists were actually waiting for singer [[Kenny Bee]], who was in a nearby restaurant. On seeing the gathered journalists, Chu ducked behind his companion. Photos became the main page headlines in some of the major Hong Kong newspapers the following day. Chu, who was one year due to his official retirement from the government, subsequently decided to seek early retirement in the aftermath.<ref>Una So and Diana Lee, [http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=12&art_id=48691&sid=14404248&con_type=1&d_str=20070710&sear_year=2007 RTHK chief quits amid media frenzy] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090330222540/http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=12&art_id=48691&sid=14404248&con_type=1&d_str=20070710&sear_year=2007 |date=30 March 2009 }}, ''The Standard'', 10 July 2007</ref>

=== Nabela Qoser probation controversy ===
[[Nabela Qoser]], who became known to the public after she sharply and unremittingly questioned Hong Kong officials at press conferences following the [[2019 Yuen Long attack]], saw her three-year-long probation as a civil servant extended by 120 days following a management decision to reopen the investigations on her performance. She stood to be dismissed if she rejected the extension.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grundy |first=Tom |date=27 September 2020 |title=RTHK reporter who grilled Hong Kong Chief Exec.

=== Censorship under Patrick Li ===
Following the appointment of Patrick Li to the post of Director of Broadcasting on 1 March 2021, ten television episodes have been censored; YouTube content more than one-year-old have been removed from RTHK's channel. RTHK claimed that it was to align the YouTube channel with RTHK's policy of only making content available for one year since the date of broadcast on their own website. This move triggered a May 2021 online campaign among RTHK viewers to archive the channel on their own.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cheng |first1=Selina |date=3 May 2021 |title=Hong Kong broadcaster RTHK deletes shows over a year old from internet as viewers scramble to save backups |work=[[Hong Kong Free Press]] |url=https://hongkongfp.com/2021/05/03/hong-kong-broadcaster-rthk-to-delete-shows-over-a-year-old-from-internet-as-viewers-scramble-to-save-backups/ |url-status=live |access-date=5 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210623130646/https://hongkongfp.com/2021/05/03/hong-kong-broadcaster-rthk-to-delete-shows-over-a-year-old-from-internet-as-viewers-scramble-to-save-backups/ |archive-date=23 June 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Hongkongers rush to 'Save RTHK' from show purge |url=https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1589017-20210503.htm |work=RTHK |date=3 May 2021 |access-date=5 May 2021 |archive-date=5 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210505094117/https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1589017-20210503.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> In early August 2021, the broadcaster deleted its English-language Twitter archive, and announced on 5 August that it was disabling comments for all future tweets due to "resource constraints" that did not allow it to combat any misinformation contained in comments.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hongkongfp.com/2021/08/04/embattled-hong-kong-broadcaster-rthk-deletes-all-tweets-disables-twitter-comments/|title=Embattled Hong Kong broadcaster RTHK deletes all Tweets, disables Twitter comments|first=Tom|last=Grundy|work=[[Hong Kong Free Press]]|date=4 August 2021|access-date=5 August 2021}}</ref>

On 5 July, [[Reporters Without Borders]] published a report on world leaders who had "cracked down massively on press freedoms". As one reason for including Chief Executive [[Carrie Lam]] in the list, the report cited what it described as launching a "full-blown intimidation campaign" against RTHK,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hongkongfp.com/2021/07/06/chief-exec-carrie-lam-claims-press-freedom-bolstered-by-security-law-as-watchdog-deems-her-2021-press-freedom-predator/|title=Chief Exec.

=== Taiwan ===
Legislative Council member [[Luk Chung-hung]] in July 2021 asked Edward Yau, Commerce Secretary, if RTHK's use of the word "president" when referring to [[Tsai Ing-wen]] breached the [[One-China policy|one-China principle]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=New rules laid down for RTHK over Taiwan stories - RTHK|url=https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1601729-20210720.htm?|access-date=2021-07-20|website=news.rthk.hk|language=en-gb}}</ref> A week later, RTHK implemented new rules, which [[Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China#Names used for ROC government, officials, and institutions|banned the use of words]] which would describe Taiwan (and the [[Republic of China]]) as an independent country in all television, radio, and online broadcasts.<ref name=":0" />
