Please note:

It should be made clear that. in the article below, a slight oversight occurred. Where "200 countries" are mentioned, it should have stated "200 countries and territories".

This can be verified by going to the BBC World website at:

http://www.bbcworld.com/content/template_clickpage.asp?pageid=141

where it is stated:- ”BBC World is the BBC’s commercially funded international news and information television channel, broadcasting in English 24 hours a day.  It can be seen in 258 million homes in more than 200 countries and territories.”
