The Bulletin: Brussels' radio in English, 24 hours a day

Welcome to The Bulletin's 24/7 pop-up online radio station for Belgium's international community.

The Bulletin Radio is part of our ongoing mission to inform, engage and be closer to our audience. With many social and leisure activities cancelled and remote working still the norm, it’s never been more important to feel like part of a community.

As well as the latest news and practical information from The Bulletin editorial team, you'll hear in-depth reports and interviews, and information about clubs, associations and charitable initiatives that can provide support and assistance. Scroll down to see the full programme schedule.

This is a work-in-progress and we'd love your feedback. Send us a message any time. If you are involved with a community initiative that we should be mentioning, please get in touch.
