PINA (Public International News Ariddia) is an Ariddian-based international channel broadcasting round-the-clock news around the world. It broadcasts freely to any nation that wishes to receive its programmes.

PINA aims at offering constant news updates to its viewers, along with in-depth analyses of current events and issues. It also aims at presenting and explaining an "Ariddian perspective" on international events.

It emphasises cultural and social issues, as well as environmental ones, and brings events from "small" nations to the attention of the world, instead of focusing only on "major" events.

More information on PINA is available here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Public_International_News_Ariddia). If you would like PINA to broadcast in your nation, you can add your nation here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Public_International_News_Ariddia#Television).


OOC: I came up with PINA quite a while ago, but I've now thoroughly expanded the NSwiki article. In great part I was inspired by the RL launching of France 24 (http://www.france24.com/), and it occured to me that we rarely hear in NS about international news channels. Of course, PINA's means and funds are far more limited than those of the BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera or France 24 in RL, Ariddia being a "poor", under-developed country...

I welcome such informative broadcasts from PINA.

Ariddiaphiles in Errinundera have confirmed that P.I.N.A. broadcasts are being received in the cool temperate rainforest.

Bostopia is pleased to welcome PINA to the BDBS (Bostopian Digital Broadcasting Service), made up of privately owned channels - such as Channel 9 Griffwitness News, operating out of Fort Boston, the capital of Bostopia - and also some state sponsored channels (ooc: think BBC) - such as Bostopia TV 1 & 2, with East Isle TV 1 & 2 and West Isle TV 1 & 2 receiving funding from each Isle's respective body.

Currently, we have 91 channels on the service, and PINA will take channel 80 as Bostopia's first out-of-region news service broadcast into the country.

We are honoured and pleased at the opportunity to provide your peoples with a new media of international news, and we hope you will find PINA's programmes informative and thought-provoking.

Cafundéu would like to have PINA in our country, but in the Cable TV.

Drae Nei is pleased to offer the broadcasts of PINA in our nation. It is certainly appreciated greatly by Ambassador Ludovic Kallio of Arridia, envoy to Drae Nei, as it allows him to see news of his homeland.

We welcome your interest, and we will be pleased to provide PINA's services to Kulikovia, Cafundéu and Drae Nei.

Oliverry est intéressé par PINA (en autant que ce soit en Français :P) and would like to have it broadcasted in our nation, if possible in French in the south part of Oliverry and in English in the north part.

PINA is invited to establish it's international broadcasts in Bazalonia and are encouraging PINA to affiliate with a Bazalonian news network to provide Bazalonian news on the PINA international network.

Oliverry est intéressé par PINA (en autant que ce soit en Français :P) and would like to have it broadcasted in our nation, if possible in French in the south part of Oliverry and in English in the north part.

Pour le moment, il n'existe qu'une seule chaîne PINA, qui diffuse en trilingue. Certains des programmes sont en français, d'autres en anglais, et un petit nombre en wymgani. Les bulletins d'information sont généralement en français. Mais tous les programmes sont sous-titrés dans les autres langues.

PINA is considering adapting its broadcasts to each nation's requirements, and providing 100% English programmes to most nations (or 100% French if requested), but for now PINA's means are limited.

In any case, PINA welcomes Oliverry's interest, and will be happy to provide round-the-clock news broadcasts to the people of Oliverry.

PINA is invited to establish it's international broadcasts in Bazalonia and are encouraging PINA to affiliate with a Bazalonian news network to provide Bazalonian news on the PINA international network.

PINA will be happy to broadcast in Bazalonia, and to work with Bazalonian networks to provide Bazalonian news.

We'll relay the suggestion (and the compliment). She's probably still using the clothes, but would undoubtedly be willing to make a donation for charity. Of course, the auction couldn't take place in Ariddia, since no-one here has any money...

Could PINA set up a channel in our country, The Great Monty Python? It would be greatly appreciated if you could.

Of course! PINA would be glad to broadcast in The Great Monty Python.

Zwangzug Broadcasting inquiries as to whether selections from PINA could be abridged into a show that could run on the nation's single television channel, but not broadcast continuously.

A most interesting idea. Yes, that would be acceptable, and we would be pleased to provide Zwangzug Broadcasting with our services.

Zwangzug Broadcasting gratefully accepts, and will begin broadcasting.

People's Republic of Leninia-Trotskya

Official Announcement by the Ministry for Culture for the Serene Democratic People’s Fiefdom:

The Communist Party of Otiacicoh, in its role as the legitimate vanguard of the proletariat, has attempted to build a true socialist state in which the aspirations of the working classes could be fulfilled and a new modus operandi of human interaction in which selfishness, vanity and the bourgeoisie fetish with money were eliminated.
To that end, therefore, previous generations of Party Leadership concluded that, in the interests of the preservation of the Socialist Fiefdom, strict controls upon the media should be enacted. This included the such acts as censorship, propaganda and the purposeful attempt to block foreign broadcasting.
The current leadership of the Party, however, believes that the citizenry it serves cannot be treated as children indefinitely. If the ideology of the Party and the Government of the Fiefdom cannot be critically compared to and challenged by alternative ideas, then the Party has succeeded in creating a hermetically sealed populous that is several fathoms away from the notion of a socialist peoples that our illustrious founders intended.
To that end, therefore, the Party is pleased to invite the P.I.N.A. to broadcast in the Fiefdom that will hopefully further internationalise the thinking of the workers and peasants of the Fiefdom and provide matieral for critical discussion and analysis.
Signed
Gerard Bratt
Minister for Culture

PINA broadcasts to Edward City,but it's possible to it broadcast to Edward City in Spanish?

PINA's services in Spanish are currently limited. PINA's website has a Spanish version (pina.ari/es), which contains both written articles and video reports in Spanish, but that is a far more limited version than the French and English equivalents. The television channel itself does not currently broadcast in Spanish.

However, we are of course concerned to provide the best possible news services to our viewers. Those few of our programmes which are translated into Spanish or subtitled could be broadcast on television in Edward City, instead of simply being made available on the website.

The People's Republic of Leninia-Trotskya is eager to recieve international news to suppliment its own domestic news channels. Is it possible for PINA to transmit to Leninia-Trotskya?


Of course; PINA will be pleased to broadcast in Leninia-Trotskya.

PINA launches service for deaf viewers

http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/25/pinadeafsm0lz.jpg

PINA broadcasts in French already come with subtitles in English and Wymgani (and vice-versa), but now a new feature has been added to the international news channel. Access to the news will be facilitated for deaf viewers, thanks to an interpreter relaying the news in Ariddian French Sign Language (LSFA), virtually identical to the international French Sign Language.

PINA hopes to provide this service in English in the near future, at least on its website video broadcasts.

PINA to cover World Cup final live

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/311/pinafootball2beq4.jpg

Public International News Ariddia, the world's most widely broadcast international news channel, has announced that it will be providing full live coverage of the World Cup final between Jeruselem and Ariddia. There will be a fifteen minute world news update during the game's half-time break.

"We hope to bring coverage of the final to people in countries where it won't be available except through PINA," a PINA spokesman explained.

The match will also be shown live on PINA's website.

80% of Public Screening Committees in Errinundera have chosen the P.I.N.A. broadcast of the final World Cup final. An estimated one billion viewers are expected to watch the early morning broadcast commencing at 5:00 am.

Good day!

The Kingdom of Brutland and Norden gratefully accepts PINA's offer of free broadcasts. PINA will be assigned a broadcasting wavelength of 490 MHz UHF (Channel 18). However, we would like to ask if broadcasts will be made available in our language (Nord-Brutlandese) so that more people can tune in. If this is not possible, I'm sure a local network can do dubbing or add subtitles, if it is acceptable to you.

Thank you very much.

OOC: I'm not entirely sure what you mean. PINA broadcasts mostly in French and English, with some programmes in Wymgani, and subtitles to make all three languages available simultaneously. In other words if a programme is in English, it will be subtitled in French and Wymgani.

We enjoyed your fine broadcast of the World Cup.


Oh... and congratulations for winning too.

JGN or Jeruselem Government News offers PINA a partnership. After looking at how it handled the World Cup 32 final between our two nations, we hope we can come to an arrangement. Of course, in the future we look forward to another World Cup final between our two football teams, maybe this time with a different result.

We're glad that the broadcast was enjoyed in Errinundera.

PINA would of course be happy to work with JGN. And may both our teams continue to do well in the World Cup.

JGN can provide Arabic, Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Kufic and Hebrew translation services to spread the PINA service to a wider audience.

That would be very kind. PINA currently has basic Arabic services on its website, but does not yet broadcast on television in Arabic, and has nothing in these other languages. We would be delighted to reach a wider audience by expanding our services in foreign languages.

If JGN is ever in need of French translation services, PINA would be happy to provide some.


We can also provide advice to tune PINA broadcasts for sensitive religious communities.

That is an option we prefer not to have as general policy, but if JGN wants to "tune" PINA broadcasts in Jeruselem that is something which can be considered.

N.A.C: A New Asiria Communications Report

New Asirias Communications officer, Brad Hanz, declared today that P.I.N.A would become the national broadcaster for New Asiria by the end of the year.
P.I.N.A went head to head with the current national broadcaster New Asiria Communications (N.A.C) for the official post but was beaten by P.I.N.A yesterday afternoon.
New Asiria has a television penetration of about 70% and audio of 98% with internet connection still lagging behind with a mere 21% at the back end of last year. It is hoped that with P.I.N.A taking over communications for the state that both television and internet penetration will be enhanced and Brad Hanz has stated in his yearly report that he attmepts to increase both to 80% by the end of his term, costing some 100 million Ria (900 million dollars or 456 G.B.P). Brad Hanz was quoted as saying 'N.A.C has now supported New Asirias communications for 25 years and have allowed for our nation to become almost backward in communication being one of the last to have broadband and national internet access. It was the combined decision of all the High Councillors to allow for a new more experienced and internationally advanced company take over our communitcations.'

PINA will be pleased to broadcast in Southeast Asia.

The President of the Iglesian Archipelago (Alberto Romãs) says: "Without PINA, we wouldn't have a new influence of some great nations, like Ariddia is."

Sincerely,
The Democratic Republic of Iglesian Archipelago.
