British Forces Broadcasting Service. Radio station for the British Forces introduced in 1943.


Today the contact to soldiers has changed immensely, just after the 2nd World War the radio station for the British Forces BFBS was introduced in 1943. It consists of three radio stations and two TV ones. The aim is to support the soldiers whilst they are abroad serving and also supporting the family members at home. Reading out e-mails, sending phone calls, interviews, playing charts music, reporting news from their homeland, giving information on cultural events and advertising to send letters and little gifts to the soldiers are only a few methods of letting them take part in ‘every day life’. BFBS connects two different ways of living through culture. A major change is seen that ‘new’ media in this case radio stations, TV  and the internet have made it possible for all family members to share their experiences, thoughts and feelings. The focus in not only on the soldiers’ but there is a great aim on supporting their wives and children, too.
Currently, it consists of three radio and two TV stations. The aim is to support the soldiers whilst they are abroad serving and also supporting the family members at home. Reading out e-mails, sending phone calls, interviews, playing charts music, reporting news from their homeland, giving information on cultural events and advertising to send letters and little gifts to the soldiers are only a few methods of letting them take part in ‘every day life’.
