After several years of preparation, Trans World Radio will begin broadcasting programmes from their new transmitting station in Benin on 1 February 2008. Last week saw TWR staff working hard to solve several technical issues with the new equipment before the transmitter could be officially switched on by Nautel’s commissioning engineer, Tim Oaks. TWR-Africa’s Regional Engineer, James Burnett, says, “The testing and commissioning of the transmitter hasn’t gone entirely smoothly. There have been technical challenges, but these have not been of a nature that will prevent us from going on air.” Following the initial switching on of the transmitter, further testing has been carried out. The transmitting station will be used to broadcast programmes that have been produced by pastors, Christian organizations and church leaders in West Africa and has the potential to reach up to 63 million people.
