Yes, part of the BBC World Service for West African service users, which is fine. Essentially not for home consumption, unless of course somebody actually wants to take a look, which they're perfectly welcome to do. So no problem.

Not sure I'd be quite so happy if it became the standard format for the 9 o'clock news or MOTD, mind ..................

"BBC News Pidgin is an online news service in West African Pidgin English that was launched by BBC World Service in 2017.

The news service is based in Lagos, Nigeria.

Pidgin is one of the most widely spoken languages in West Africa (with up to 75 million speakers in Nigeria) but it does not have a standard written form."

Reads a bit like a post in the Bear Pit to me, but good on the Beeb for doing stuff like this. Worth the penny a month or whatever it is we all contribute.

Good, it’s getting very tired and definitely needs refreshing.......Phil and Matt’s faux ‘blokey humour’ and Sue’s ‘schoolmistress’ approach is getting a bit boring. Do we know who is replacing them yet ? Maybe Gareth Thomas and Denise Lewis as captains perhaps (I’m assuming Alex Scott has literally no spare time available) ?

This thread isn’t really going the way you wanted it to, is it? You tedious bellend.

I read that BBC Pidgin news service quite regularly. I have a vested interest. I pay my licence fee, gladly.

I've never watched some TV series I keep hearing crop up in the mainstream media called....Line Of Duty. I have no interest whatsoever in watching that sort of thing. What a waste of my licence fee!

 

[redoubtable seagull]

I watched the news and weather forecast this morning. Checked the news and sport online at work at lunchtime and am enjoying listening to R6 now. The Mrs and I might watch the last episode of Pursuit of Love on the BBC iPlayer later.

And all this for the extortionate price of 43p per day. It’s a ****ing rip off.

Maybe try another thread under one of your regular accounts ?

Just trying to help

Except it's funded by the government, through the World Service:

"The launch is part of the World Service's biggest expansion since the 1940s, following a government funding boost announced in 2016."

Are you not satisfied with your sensationalist right wing propaganda rags like the Express?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Maybe I’m a bit slow, so not sure what point you’re trying to make. If it’s highlighting the value for money the BBC offers then I think I get it.

No you're not slow. But the OP is a bit of a ****. The labia minora, I would venture.

can be certain that series cost an awful lot more than a translated website.

Is this a ‘say it to my face’ type post in 2021? Exciting if so.

Angry Right-wingers practising 'cancel culture' - oh, the irony. They really are arrogant, pathetic, entitled, ****s.

You sound angry PMSL

It’s a forced subscription

I see Das Reich is all excited again. Does he think the BBC is about to be defunded, I wonder? No. I don't really wonder. I don't care.
