Subject: radio one, Gambia on danish radio


Friends, -for your information-
it has come to my knowledge that danish national radio today (3.45 pm danish
time) broadcast a program called "Panorama: Radio One, Gambia".
When at work and without a radio or a tape recorder it´s not possible for me
to listen and later tell you about the program, but maybe some one from the
list in Denmark can do so?

The short introduction in my newspaper is: (my translation from danish)
"African radio is something very different from the european ones. It is an
extremely powerful media on a continent with many illiterate. We saw it in
Rwanda, where the radio as some sort of a commando post contributed to the
mass killings became so effective. In The Gambia George Christensen has
established a different kind and more constructive use of the media. Since
it´s foundation in 1990 he has become the owner of Africa first independent
radio station in Africa, Radio One. But it is not always easy to run it.
Assaults , destruction of property and calling in to serious talks by the
authorities/government is not unusual."
regards Asbjørn Nordam
