³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

For decades, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ has dominated the media landscape in many countries in Africa. How much do you trust your national broadcaster and other international media - enough to switch off the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ? Over the years, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ output has evolved as audience demands have changed and competition has increased – from radio, TV and digital media. What is the place of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ in Africa today? What do audiences want from the broadcaster – and is the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ delivering? How should the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ change or adapt in order to retain or increase its influence? This programme is a rare opportunity for listeners in Africa to put their questions to the director of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service, Peter Horrocks. It is one of three debates and discussions ahead of the transition of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service to funding by UK audiences in April 2014.
