WorldSpace Foundation is pleased to announce that today it conducted its first live broadcast on the Africa Learning Channel. The live audio feed of Radio Voix Sans Frontieres (Voices Without Frontiers) was uplinked from the WorldSpace facility in Johannesburg.

This event marks WSF's first joint activity with the Africa Division of the World Association of Community Broadcasters (AMARC-Africa) as part of AMARC's International Broadcast Campaign Against Racism. The broadcast included 3 hours of live programming in English, French and Portuguese, and was captured by our many partners and over 100 community broadcasters throughout Africa.

The event went off without a hitch thanks to the coordinated effort of staff at AMARC Headquarters in Montreal, AMARC-Africa in Johannesburg, WSF in Washington, WS Engineers in Johannesburg, and AMARC-Africa Board members in Banjul. This was truly an international effort that reached potentially 10 million people throughout Africa.
