Why not? Public broadcast TV stations want to be viewed, just like web radio streams!
That said, the first one I tried (a German public broadcaster) was showing a static image of “this programme is currently unavailable for legal reasons”. (I believe they do IP-based geofencing for legal/broadcasting rights reasons.)
You can watch NHK World from anywhere, they make it available on their website: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live/
They show the news at the top of every hour so we check in pretty regularly.
