Radio

Last week Bill attended a conference co-hosted by UNESCO to discuss community radio in Africa. There is a group of workers in our town who are investigating whether the time is ripe to open a station. At the moment, National law does not recognize a distinction between commercial and community radio, which is usually run on a nonprofit status with lower wattage. I am preparing a paper for this group outlining what I see as the basic factors involved in Radio: Audience, Transmission mode, cost and funding. If you are interested in these details email us, and I will send you the information.
