If that’s real then that’s pathetic.

Well it’s real and it’s pathetic.

The BBC Pidgin Minute

The BBC broadcasts all over the world on shortwave in the language of the region they're targeting. At, say 9 am, they might be doing a directional broadcast to China in Mandarian for an hour, then at 10 am, the same transmitter on the same frequency may reconfigure its setup to broadcast a news program directionally towards Mexico in Spanish. The BBC has a worldwide radio footprint.

Pidgin blew my mind, though.
