New radio station broadcasting to Uganda
5 September 2003
Kampala newspaper The Monitor has published more details of the new radio station Radio Rhino International-Africa (RRIA). The station's director Godfrey Elum Ayoo, a Ugandan political activist living in exile, told the newspaper that the station, based in Berlin, will be launched on August 16 [sic] by former President Milton Obote and Col. Kizza Besigye, a losing presidential candidate in 2001. The two will host a one-hour show talking about politics and the need to redirect the democratisation process in Uganda. RRIA will broadcast in English on 17555 kHz at 1500-1530 UTC Mon-Fri and 0300-1600 at weekends. Ayoo said that RRIA "is a declaration of an airwave campaign in the liberation, protection and promotion of the freedoms of expressions and the rights to information by the press, mass media and the people of Uganda." He said the radio would cover news on current events, politics, economy, health, education, culture and environment. © Radio Netherlands Media Network. http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/html/medianews.html |
