This isn't just your average radio station though, it's a global network with 24 different broadcasts, all designed to connect with the troops wherever they are in the world.
BFBS Gurkha Radio is a special one, though. It broadcasts in Hindi, the language spoken by the Gurkhas, and plays music that's close to their hearts. It's like having a little bit of home wherever they are. You can hear all sorts of music on the station, from traditional Nepali tunes to modern Bollywood hits, ensuring there's something for everyone.

BFBS Gurkha Radio is a great example of how the BFBS network goes above and beyond to support the troops.

The station's slogan, "Entertain, Inform, Connect, Champion," perfectly captures their mission.
