BFBS recently appointed Adam Waters as Director of AI Culture and Gaming on June 9, 2026.

This agreement, also reported on April 23, 2026, aims to provide media and entertainment services, including trusted news, entertainment, and sport, to service personnel and their families, even those deployed overseas and in remote operational environments.
