Such programs would provide a forum for communities to discuss issues and opinions in a regional setting and style. This, in effect, would provide a two-way communication medium, by giving communities a voice into national-level matters. This means of information sharing and participatory communication will help promote advocacy on various development issues, which community otherwise would be detached from. The establishment of Radio ABC could introduce a wide range of cultural, social and educational programs. Moreover, the stations would allow the dissemination of local news, as well as providing a connection with nation-wide programs, effectively linking these communities to the rest of the world.

Such programs would provide a forum for communities to discuss issues and opinions in a regional setting and style. This, in effect, would provide a two-way communication medium, by giving communities a voice into national-level matters. This means of information sharing and participatory communication will help promote advocacy on various development issues, which community otherwise would be detached from. The establishment of Radio ABC could introduce a wide range of cultural, social and educational programs.
