Ever wondered what music soldiers listen to around the world? Well, the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) has got you covered! Founded way back in 1943, BFBS provides radio and TV to British armed forces everywhere. They've got a whole bunch of channels, broadcasting all sorts of music, news, and entertainment - just like your favourite radio station, but with a military twist!
One of their most popular channels is the BFBS Gurkha Network, which broadcasts in Hindi and plays music from Nepal, the home of the Gurkha soldiers. Imagine, soldiers stationed far from home, still able to connect with their culture through music! This channel is a real testament to the diverse needs of the armed forces, showing how BFBS strives to keep everyone entertained and connected.
The BFBS Gurkha Network's slogan is "Entertain, Inform, Connect, Champion", and it truly embodies their mission. They don't just provide entertainment, they also keep soldiers informed about what's going on back home and around the world. They also champion the Gurkha community, giving them a voice and a way to connect with their heritage. So, if you're ever curious about what life is like for soldiers overseas, give BFBS Gurkha Radio a listen. You might be surprised at the stories you hear and the music you discover!
