Transmission Guide

UNTV live pool feeds are transmitted via fiber lines to two New York video hubs, Encompass Media and The Switch.
All major networks have connectivity to one or both video hubs. At time of your booking, you can make Special arrangements according to your needs.


Audio is embedded on the following channels: Ch 1: Floor – Ch 2: English – Ch 3: French – Ch 4: Russian – Ch 5: Spanish – Ch 6: Chinese – Ch 7: Arabic (for General Assembly and Security Council Meetings, other events may not be interpreted into all official UN languages).

Please see below the contact information for Encompass, and The Switch and some other transmission partners. (UNTV is not endorsing any service over the other, our feed is free for broadcasters, but you will have to pay the transmission costs to the company you are choosing).

If you don’t need live transmission, you can also request video files of speeches or whole events.


HD Broadcast quality files are available, free of charge, by sending a request to the UN AV Library. The links will usually be sent out within an hour of speech delivery, depending on demand and traffic.

For any other questions, please contact us on the contact page. We can send you our daily broadcast schedule to always keep you in the loop.
