Â鶹ԼÅÄ

For decades, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ 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 Â鶹ԼÅÄ? Over the years, Â鶹ԼÅÄ output has evolved as audience demands have changed and competition has increased – from radio, TV and digital media. What is the place of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ in Africa today? What do audiences want from the broadcaster – and is the Â鶹ԼÅÄ delivering? How should the Â鶹ԼÅÄ 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 Â鶹ԼÅÄ World Service, Peter Horrocks. It is one of three debates and discussions ahead of the transition of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ World Service to funding by UK audiences in April 2014.
