The FBIS "Stations
of the World" books
were regular
publications
consisting of a set
of volumes
listing all the
world's radio
stations. They were
issued roughly every
two years. Part I
was by Country and
City order, Part II
was by Frequency and
Part III was by
station Name and
Slogan. In 1955, a
part IV was
initiated, showing
TV and FM stations.

Who
published the lists? |
The
Foreign Broadcast Information
Service
was part of the Central Intelligence Agency.
It exemplified, in
the opinion of many,
national
intelligence at its
best, informing both
senior policy makers
and the nation as a
whole with its daily
collection,
translation, and
publication of
thousands of foreign
media reports. The
station lists were a
small part of its
work; some
considered them a
byproduct of the
FBIS monitoring
efforts. |

Says: |
Foreign Broadcast Information
Service
(FBIS) was an
open source intelligence
component of the
Central Intelligence Agency's
Directorate of Science and
Technology. It monitored,
translated, and disseminated within
the
U.S. government openly available
news and information from media
sources outside the
United States. Its headquarters
was in
Rosslyn,
Virginia
38.8947°N 77.0717°W,
later
Reston, Virginia
38.955°N 77.359°W,
and it maintained approximately 20
monitoring stations worldwide. In
November 2005, it was announced that
FBIS would become the newly formed
Open Source Center, tasked with
the collection and analysis of
freely available intelligence.[1]
