Journal Article
40 years of broadcasting from London in African languages
1996
Overview
The British Broadcasting Corp (BBC) began radio broadcasting to Africa in their languages in 1957. Through its broadcasting, the BBC has had a profound impact on African communication and development, but at its arrival in the 1920s, most Africans did not own radio sets or had electricity in their homes. However, transistors became widely available in the 1960s, changing communication in the continent forever.
