ZNBC improves operations
Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) will soon commission new short wave antennas for both radio one and two.The installation of the new transmitters by a South African contractor at shorthorn in Lusaka started in July at a cost of K2-billion.
ZNBC Director General Joseph Salasini accompanied by the director of programmes Maxwell N'gandu and Public Relations Manager Mirriam Tonga visited the site where the antennas have been installed.
He said ZNBC will be more consistent in reaching out to the general public, particurlary in outlying parts of the country once the antennas are operational.
Mr. Salasini thanked government for funding the project through its budgetary support to the corporation.
And ZNBC Principal Engineer for Planning and Development Frank Mushota said the new antennas will boost reception for both radio channels.
The new antennas are able to withstand all weather patterns and seasonal changes without affecting the quality of radio reception.
