BFBS

Background

 * Forces' Radio began during the Second World War in 1943 as a morale-boosting experiment for the troops on active service, and was renamed BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) in 1965. It is still active today.
 * Peel recorded weekly two-hout programmes for the German part of the network, along with other British DJs such as Tommy Vance and Kenny Everett. He related that he received little or no feedback concerning his shows from the military, for whom the programmes were primarily intended, but had a large fanbase of civilians.
