91Èȱ¬

For decades, the 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬? Over the years, 91Èȱ¬ output has evolved as audience demands have changed and competition has increased – from radio, TV and digital media. What is the place of the 91Èȱ¬ in Africa today? What do audiences want from the broadcaster – and is the 91Èȱ¬ delivering? How should the 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ World Service, Peter Horrocks. It is one of three debates and discussions ahead of the transition of the 91Èȱ¬ World Service to funding by UK audiences in April 2014.
