The UN Television produces three made-for-television series:
UN in Action : A subscription television programme of 57 featurettes per year. Filmed around the world, it deals with the work of the UN and other international agencies, each concerning itself with a different issue -- political, environmental, economic or social. Each featurette is 3 to 5 minutes in length, contains timely and exclusive news footage and is available with script and soundtrack in Arabic, English, French, Russian or Spanish.
Since 1987 UN in Action (UNIA) has been used by broadcasters all over the world as an effective and affordable news/current events subscription.
The UN in Action series is designed to be used royalty-free in the following ways:
- In their entirety or in part.

- To broaden the scope of a broadcaster's international news coverage.
- As current events stories for inclusion in magazine format shows.

Recorded at UN Headquarters, World Chronicle features round table discussions with a wide variety of guests, including top Governmental officials, UN experts, goodwill ambassadors and world renowned personalities from the world community concerned with the work of the United Nations.
