Ebonics comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from June 2010 to September 2017.
The BBC has launched a digital news service in Pidgin English specifically for audiences in West and Central Africa. The hosts read headlines from the site, including stories about Hurricane Irma and a Beyonce-themed course at the University of Copenhagen. They compare the service to "Ebonics" and marvel at the linguistic style used by the British broadcaster.

The hosts lament a perceived decline in English language proficiency and professional etiquette among young workers in the media industry. They specifically criticize the limited vocabulary and "snotty" attitudes of entry-level employees in corporate offices.
