Deutsche Welle, DW, a German National Broadcaster has called on radio stations in Zambia to produce quality audio sound and contents to the audience.
DW Project Manager, Uwe Rob observed that in the current revolution of digital
technology, most radio stations have lagged behind in giving clients quality
broadcasting adding that the focus is mainly on handling the equipment at the
expense of producing quality sound.
Mr Rob emphasised the need to improve digital equipment to ensure that quality sound
is produced.
He said this in Lusaka today at the closure of a two-week audio recording and
editing course for journalsists from 12 radio stations across the country.
Speaking at the same function, ZAMCOM Director, Daniel Nkalamo, commended DW for
hosting the workshop at the institution adding that it is first of its kind.
Mr Nkalamo was hopeful that the participants have adopted the required knowledge and
skills that will help them produce quality radio broadcasting.
Speaking Earlier, German Ambassador to Zambia, Irene Hinrichsen, noted that
continous training for journalists and media technical personnel is key to quality
broadcasting.
You broadcasters you have to work hard. The quality of service you give some times is very poor. In western I can still remember people they opt to listen radio south africa since they dont know that they can sanction the provider. When radio streaming started the qaulity was very good but everyday its becoming poorer and poorer especially ZNBC. Radio Phoenix is loud and clear only the waves go off air most of the time.
You broadcasters, you really need to be impatial in the way you deliver your services.It is bad to be playing only reggae music whenever you are on duty just because at the time you were at UNZA you liked it.What of us who go for the other tastes? Caristo Chitafya mwaiche, tell your friends to improve.I am forced to behave like I do not live in Zambia by connecting to multichoice and listen to other stations where I can obtain value for my money.
