Description
BBC Nepali is the Nepali-language service of the BBC World Service, produced in the United Kingdom and on air since 1969, when it started as a weekly programme for Gurkha soldiers posted in Hong Kong. It is a news operation rather than a music station, built around a daily fifteen-minute evening programme of news, analysis and discussion called Saanjhapakh. Listeners in Nepal pick it up on 103.0 FM in the Kathmandu Valley, and it streams online next to a Nepali-language website.

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
Stored as NP, but BBC Nepali is a BBC World Service language service produced in the United Kingdom, not a Nepali broadcaster. It has run since 1969 out of the World Service and is only relayed into Nepal, on 103.0 FM in the Kathmandu Valley. Language code ne is correct. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| nothing withheld | the form sits on the parent BBC domain rather than on bbc.com/nepali, so the provenance is the parent, but the path is scoped to the nepali service and the page it serves is headed Contact BBC Nepali, which confirms it belongs to this service and not to another programme

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
