BFBS Gurkha Radio is the BFBS Gurkha Network service, built around Nepali-language programming, Gurkha community stories, music, interviews and information. It is a much more specific station than a general music stream, with a clear role for Gurkha listeners, serving personnel, veterans and families who want news, conversation and cultural connection alongside music.

The station’s schedule mixes Nepali music, community features, interviews, news updates and Forces-focused programming. Shows such as Namaste UK, Kathmanduko Saugat, Swarnim Sangam, Diwa Kosheli, Godhuli and Aajako Naari give the station a broad community feel, covering everything from music and entertainment to family life, lifestyle, education, health, current affairs and stories from the wider Gurkha world.

BFBS Gurkha Radio has real depth because it is not just a playlist with a Gurkha label slapped on it. The station reflects language, identity and community, with programming that connects listeners in the UK and overseas through Nepali music, messages, interviews, dedications and regular links to Gurkha life.
