WORLD Channel Information

In a world filled with noise, WORLD is here to break through – barriers, stereotypes, outmoded expectations – what we thought we knew about each other. WORLD offers hope and promise by presenting new ideas, voices and solutions outside of the mainstream. From documentaries on America ReFramed, Doc World and Local, USA to tellers on Stories from the Stage, WORLD illustrates the range, complexity and resilience of humanity, and demonstrates that change is possible. At this moment, it's time for WORLD to break through. WORLD has won two Peabody Awards, an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award, an International Documentary Association Award, a National News and Documentary Emmy Award, two Gracie Awards, and many other awards and nominations. WORLD is carried by PBS stations across the U.S. and can be experienced at worldchannel.org, social and video platforms – Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok and the PBS app – and on YouTube @worldchannel.
