NHK World Premium is a TV news and entertainment broadcasting service offered by NHK World-Japan, the international arm of Japan's public broadcaster NHK. The service is aimed towards overseas Japanese and the overseas market, similar to worldwide national channels such as CCTV-4, KBS World, TV5Monde, TVE Internacional, RTP Internacional, TV Chile, Rai Italia or RTR-Planeta, and broadcast through subscription TV providers around the world.
The purpose of NHK World Premium is to make original, general television content produced by NHK available to an international audience. It provides a mixture of news, sports and entertainment shows in Japanese language, all of which are simulcast or previously shown on NHK's domestic TV networks in Japan (NHK G, NHK E, NHK BS, NHK BS Premium 4K, and NHK BS8K).
The service is marketed as a pay satellite or cable TV channel with that name Across Asia Pacific, Africa (Except North Africa Arabic Speaking Countries) & Latin America (South, Middle, Caribbean), except for in Europe, North Africa and North America. In Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, the service is broadcast via the streaming provider toober.com and other pay TV operators (Cable and Satellite), after JSTV ceased transmission on October 31, 2023, and in the North America, it is known as TV Japan until the channel closure on March 31, 2024.[1] Contents generally do not carry English subtitles or dubbing, while a few of them, especially news, have bilingual audio (a feature kept from their original, domestic broadcast in Japan, where it is offered as well for Newscast Only).

Internet service
NHK World Premium programs and contents are available online but for the linear channel, which mostly aired NHK titles including live events, were available on selected countries, including Asian countries outside Japan. Following the termination of the European satellite service JSTV, on October 31, 2023, NHK World Premium is now available in Europe as an Internet broadcast offered via toober. Meanwhile in North America, following the closure of TV Japan, they moved most of TV Japan titles to their streaming platform Jme, which include NHK World Premium and Jme Select, which resemble the similarity to their former TV Japan linear channel.[1]
