African radio station launched http://www.thezimbabwean.co.uk/viewinfo.cfm?linkcategoryid=4&linkid= 9&id=4293
LONDON get ready! A brand new, vibrant African radio station will be hitting the London airwaves, on 94.3 FM, on 23 May. The high-profile launch, part of the Mayor of London's African week, will include African cultural troupe performances, music and appearances from wide range guest speakers. This event aims to wake and shake London up to the new African flavour. Space Clottey, Project Manager at Voice of Africa Radio, says, "Things are buzzing at the studio of Voice of Africa Radio. All our presenters are extremely excited and cannot wait to release the amazing things we have in store for our listeners. Voice of Africa Radio will bring a new and interesting dimension to the FM dial on 94.3 and we wish to invite the business community to support by sponsoring and advertising on the station." An unlicensed Voice of Africa Radio was set up on 1 January 2000 on FM to correct the exclusion and marginalisation of the African community from electronic media. However, in April 2003, Voice of Africa Radio decided to stop operations to seek a licence to function on a more appropriate basis. At the moment VOAR broadcast live on www.voiceofafricaradio.com and Sky Digital channel 0192. Voice of Africa Radio (VOAR) was awarded a five-year permanent FM license on 16 February 2006, after six years of tireless campaigning. VOAR is the first and only legally licensed African radio station in the UK. Voice of Africa Radio will give listeners in London a savoury choice of African music, from zouk to kwaito to hi-life, as well as RnB and gospel. Programmes also include debates, community affairs, sport and talk shows. http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
