Govt to license 19 campus radio stations

INFORMATION minister Monica Mutsvangwa yesterday said her ministry would soon license 19 campus radio stations as part of initiatives to widen access to information at higher learning institutions.

She said her ministry had already gazetted a frequency allocation plan for the establishment of the stations.

“As we are generously hosted by the Midlands State University, let me say to you, we can’t come here on World Radio Day and not talk about campus radio,” Mutsvangwa said yesterday at the World Radio Day commemorations in Gweru.
