Brussels British Community Association

The Bulletin radio - your local 24/7 English language station

1 Dec 2020 12:20 PM | Tim Reynolds (Administrator)

The Brussels-based English-language magazine The Bulletin has just launched a pop-up online radio station for Belgium's international community. Alongside its new digital magazine, The Bulletin radio is aiming to inform, engage and be closer its cosmopolitan audience.


The Bulletin has been broadcasting in English on Bruzz every Sunday since 2016, but now the magazine feels it is time to provide a 24-hour service, at least until Belgium's coronavirus measures are eased, hopefully in the spring.

As well as the latest news and practical information from The Bulletin editorial team, the station will broadcast in-depth reports and interviews, and information about clubs, associations and charitable initiatives that can provide support and assistance. A typical daily programme is shown below.

The Bulletin describe the radio initiative as a work-in-progress and they'd love your feedback. They would love to hear from community organisations, get your local news, and understand issues affecting our lives in Belgium. You can contact The Bulletin here.
