SUDAN Research shows that Darfuri listen en masse to radio broadcasts
via the short-wave band. 95% of the population over the age of 15 listen
to the radio at least once a week. Over 70% of the people in Darfur listen
at least once a week to Radio Dabanga, the Darfuri name for Radio Darfur.
Mytton: 'This research shows that short-wave radio is a very powerful
medium in Darfur.'
After the state Radio Omdurman _ which broadcasts the entire day _ Radio
Darfur is the most popular radio station in terms of listeners. Asked
which station people tune into to listen to the news, 39% states Radio
Dabanga. Furthermore, it turns out that the questioned Darfuri primarily
listen to the radio at times when Radio Dabanga transmits its broadcasts,
from 7.30 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. and from 6.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.
Graham Mytton, formerly head of Media Research at the BBC and presently
working as an independent media researcher, was commissioned by Press Now
to conduct research into the listening behaviour of the Darfuri. The
survey was held immediately after Ramadan, from September to the end of
November 2009. The first results came in three days ago. The survey was
held among 1,582 respondents over the age of 18 from all over Darfur, both
men and women. The remarkable thing is that men and women listen in equal
measure to the radio. 'I have never seen that, nowhere in Africa - it's
usually a male affair,' says Mytton, who has led numerous media studies in
Africa. 'The preliminary results are very good for Radio Dabanga.
Graham Mytton presented these provisional survey results yesterday evening
in Desmet Studios, Amsterdam, during the celebration of Radio Darfur's
first anniversary. The data presented by Mytton concerned provisional
results that will still be supplemented further. The full research report
will be rounded off around 1 January 2010.

UKRAINE Radio Mayak 765 kHz at 1325 UT. Popmusik und ID um 1325 UTC.
Sieht so aus als wurde hier der ukrainische Sender aus Odessa reaktiviert,
der im Maerz bei mediumwave.info als inaktiv gemeldet wurde - und auch im
WRTH 2010 nicht mehr aufscheint. Das Signal war zumindest mal nicht \\ zum
Internetstream des russischen Radio Mayak.
