Ever wondered what the British Army listens to while stationed overseas? Well, they've got a special radio station just for them called BFBS, which stands for British Forces Broadcasting Service. This station has been around since 1943, providing radio and TV entertainment to our brave soldiers across the globe. They've got a whole network of channels, with music, news, and even dedicated shows for different communities.
One of the most popular channels is BFBS Gurkha Radio, specifically designed for the brave Gurkha soldiers. You might be thinking, "What language do they speak on that one?" Well, it's not English! They broadcast in Hindi, playing traditional Gurkha music and sharing news relevant to their community. It's a way for them to connect with their heritage while serving far from home.
The BFBS Gurkha Radio slogan perfectly sums it up: "Entertain, Inform, Connect, Champion". They're there to keep the Gurkhas entertained, informed about what's happening back home, connected to their culture, and most importantly, celebrating their bravery and dedication to serving their country. It's a vital part of their lives, just like a cuppa and a good chat is for us back home!
