Radio VOP Charts Way Forward
http://www.radiovop.com/index.php/national-news/7636-radio-vop-charts-way-forward.html

Bulawayo, November 30, 2011-Radio VOP Executive Director John Masuku has said 
,the 
company´s board is discussing what action to take after it was denied a licence 
to operate a 
commercial radio station by the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (BAZ).

Masuku said Radio VOP´s board was yet to come up with a concrete resolution on 
the way 
forward after the denial of an operating licence.


"The board is meeting and discussing what action to take after we were denied 
an operating 
licence. We are yet to come up with a decision. I cannot pre-empt what has been 
discussed 
so far and what options have been put on the table," Masuku said in a telephone 
interview on 
Wednesday morning.


Radio VOP and Oliver Mtukudzi´s Kiss FM were denied radio broadcast licences by 
BAZ 
which has since come under heavy condemnation for only granting a go-ahead to 
AB 
Communications and Zimpapers which have links to Zanu-PF and the state 
respectively.


Critics say the two will never be able to operate independently because of 
their close ties to 
Zanu-PF and the state which has a majority stake at Zimpapers.


But Supa Mandiwanzira with a controlling stake at AB Communications, has denied 
the 
charge and called on Zimbabweans to `give him a chance to broadcast and then 
judge him 
later.´


Media lobby groups say by denying Radio VOP and Kiss FM operating licences, BAZ 
is 
estranging the state´s monopoly over the airwaves.


As a result of government´s reluctance to open up the airwaves offshore 
broadcasters such 
as Radio VOP, VOA's Studio 7 and Shortwave Radio Africa are forced to broadcast 
on 
shortwave and have often been jammed by the government.


Critics note that Zimbabwe is the only country in southern Africa without 
independent or 
private broadcasters despite being the first country in the region to have a 
television 
broadcast as far back as the early 1960s.


South Africa, which established a television station in 1976, has several 
independent 
television stations and more than 100 private and community radio stations.
