watch DW news and NHK but neither quite gets away from their immediate region focus to get very in depth in that further region. Once in a great while if you catch BBC overnight radio they will surprisingly have a long segment about something in that region but you have to be insomniac like me and be awake all night and have the BBC on while doing other things.

A little off topic but I have always loved the BBC overnight radio because of the eclectic mix of what is programmed. For example one moment I'm listening to League scores and the next they are taking me to a 20 minute or longer story about an enterprise zone in an emerging area of the world where small scale financing is helping women start their own small businesses. Then they move right into another long story about a theater renovation taking place somewhere in Europe. Reminds me so much of the "free form" radio when FM was new.
