The link above details Deutsche Welle's B18 schedule, two items to note:

1) There remains no broadcasts in English, French, or German.  The last English broadcast was about a year ago on 28 October 2017.  See QSL card (kept forgetting to post, 1 year anniversary jogged my memory) from said broadcast (albeit "Keep tuning in" is a bit more difficult and more difficult to understand): https://imgur.com/a/gI2Q9vt

2) The Bundesliga live broadcasts in Hausa continue on Saturdays.  The reason for the multiple listing of the transmissions is that in weeks that Bundesliga clubs are off (generally for competitions among nations, i.e.: Germany v France), there will be no broadcast of any sort.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)
