More airtime for rural radio
Responding to the Viewpoint in Spore 84 on rural radio, Samuel Zelehe of Gambella, Ethiopia, stresses that 'Radio is the cheapest media to establish and to use than other ICTs like TV and the Internet. It is rather suitable as a communication technology especially to serve rural people who are far away from ICT services in most ACP States. Although many ACP States use this medium for broadcasting to rural people, the airtime allowed on rural issues is rather short. It is difficult to say that rural radio stations are providing the latest agricultural information with this brief time. It is therefore important to allow more airtime, so that rural radio stations will achieve their goals.'
