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 BS1, NHK BS Premium, NHK BS4K, and NHK BS8K).

The service is marketed as a pay satellite or cable TV channel with that name except for Europe and North America. In Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, the service is broadcast under the brand name JSTV, and in the US and Canada it is known as TV Japan. Unlike the regular NHK World Premium service, both JSTV and TV Japan offer some additional programming from other major Japanese TV broadcasters such as TV Tokyo or Fuji TV, in addition to NHK's own shows. 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).

gollark: I don't see the point of encrypting it, though, inasmuch as I would have to store the keys with basically the same permissions as the actual database file.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Or does general history data not count?
