As far as I am aware, there are no English speaking radio stations in Belgium itself. However, if you were to go on the AM band, you can pick up one or two BBC stations from the UK.

None that are based in Belgium, but if you get Telenet Digital TV, you'll get a few European stations such as BBC 1 to 3. There was a time, years ago, that you could recieve an American station through FM bandwidth, but that station has long since disappeared from local aerials. Also the Antwerp Central Station has "hotspots" where an international news station is broadcast, in English. Whether this is locally based or not, I don't know. I'll have to warn you, to work in Belgium you will need to have Dutch basics. Or French, depending on which part of the country you are planning to go to. Or, alternatively, you could apply for a job in the Irish-themed bars, of which there are plenty. They generally don't mind if you only talk English. And often don't mind if you're not Irish.

You can probably pick up a military radio station like Voice of America with a good enough radio. There are military bases all over Germany. I remember picking up BBC back in the 80s. "It's 6 o'clock in Central Europe..."
