The BBC working to establish a partnership with a Latvian broadcaster to carry its TV news bulletin.
Quoting BBC representatives, Baltic Times and BNS report that the bulletin will be similar to the one offered by bbrussian.com.
They add that the BBC is also planning to expand its BBC Russian operation in Latvia, where the broadcaster currently has only one correspondent.
This will form part of the BBC’s expansion of BBC World Service programming, including the creation of 12 new language services arounnd the world and the improvement of existing ones.
The BBC has only had a registered presence in Latvia since this month.
