Zambia’s State Run ZNBC Dominates Radio Listening: What Does This Mean for Information Access?
نویسنده
چکیده
Radio listening in Zambia is dominated by state-run ZNBC's three radio stations Radio 1, Radio 2 and music/entertainment-based Radio 4. Seventy eight percent of weekly radio listeners in Zambia said they often listen to one of three state-run stations. Zambia also has a few locally focused private or nonprofit, community radio stations, which broadcast in English and/or local provincial languages, but these FM stations -whether commercial or nonprofit have limited geographical reach (usually just within a district or province) and are not nationally accessible. ZNBC is the only radio network with national reach and thus dominates radio listenership nationally (see Chart 1).
