Live news, country by country

Why national coverage reads differently

International news channels compress. National broadcasters do not: they carry the press conference in full, name the local actors, and assume context their audience already has. Even without the language, the running order of a national bulletin tells you what a country considers important today.

What is available

Watch Non Stop carries 943 news and parliamentary channels, 733 of them live right now, across dozens of countries. Coverage is deepest where public broadcasters stream openly and thinnest where they do not — that is a property of the open web, not an editorial choice.

Using it well

• Open the country page first, not the search box. You will find channels you did not know to look for.
• Parliamentary and legislative channels are the most under-used category on the site: unedited primary source, no commentary layer.
• Two national channels side by side on the same story, in the multiview wall, is the single most useful thing this catalogue can do.

A caution

A state broadcaster is a primary source about what a state wants said. That makes it valuable and it makes it partial, at the same time and for the same reason. Watch several.
