WorldMadeChannel is a unique Dutch TV project. The content of the channel is based exclusively on user-generated content (home video and photos) sent by TV viewers from all over the world. The success of the channel is that it attracts viewers’ attention and lets them feel like actors, producers and operators for a while.

Unlike other existing channels, WorldMadeChannel does not require special translation or adaptation for any country as far as it has neither texts nor dialogues. 'A picture speaks a thousand words'. All copyrights both for the picture and music are reserved internationally.

WorldMadeChannel has an agreement with the United Nations Organization on production and distribution of a TV program in 6 official UN languages (Chinese, English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and French). The program is family-oriented, and gives the information on UN policy, ideas and projects in an easy and fascinating manner.
