VOA Partners with Pakistan Radio Network
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Voice of America and Pakistan's Radio News Network
(RNN) are teaming up on a new hour-long radio program that focuses on
current events and social issues in both countries.
The weekly co-production Sada e Jahan (Voice of the World) airs on
RNN's FM stations located throughout Pakistan on Sundays at 2 a.m. and
6 p.m. local time. The debut episode will hit the airwaves this
Sunday, Dec. 22.
The program opens with analysis of the latest news, and features
reports produced by VOA in Washington and RNN in Islamabad on social
issues, health, and lifestyle. Each show includes three to four
segments produced by VOA and three to four produced by RNN.
"This is a true co-production in every sense of the word," said VOA
Urdu co-host Sarah Zaman. "By combining reporting from the U.S. and
Pakistan, we're giving our audience different perspectives on issues
that matter most to them." Zaman is joined by co-host Nighat Aman in
Islamabad.
"We are pleased to partner with RNN on this program," says VOA Urdu
Service Chief Faiz Rehman, "and we look forward to working more with
them in the future."
Zaman said the show's lineup is designed to present listeners with
complementary reports on similar topics and trends in the U.S. and
Pakistan. The first episode of Sada e Jahan includes a segment on the
revival of the Pakistani film industry (produced by RNN) and
interviews with Pakistani filmmakers visiting the United States
(produced by VOA).
Along with the two Sunday broadcasts, RNN re-airs the program at 11
a.m. the following Monday. VOA carries Sada e Jahan on its own medium
wave frequency every Sunday at 2 a.m. Pakistan time.
Radio News Network is an independent radio news provider and one of
the country's leading broadcast news agencies, with FM stations in
Islamabad, Abbottabad (northeastern Pakistan) and Vehari (southern
Punjab).
This marks the second time VOA Urdu has joined forces with an FM radio
network in Pakistan. This July, the Voice of America and Sunrise FM 97
in Islamabad launched the co-production Atif with Sunrise, an
entertainment program. With the addition of RNN, VOA Urdu now has four
radio and five television affiliates in Pakistan.

The General Assembly (GA) of the DRM Consortium is scheduled to take
place on March 26th and 27th 2014 at the BBC Headquarters in central
London, the New Broadcasting House.
Under the title "DRM in Action" the Consortium would like to make this
the most inclusive event in its history, a moment to consider the
benefits of DRM and its progress, an affirmation of the power of
digital radio.
The first day of the GA (March 26th) will be open to all DRM members
and invited guests from the UK and abroad. It will be a day to
celebrate the power of radio. The morning will be devoted to
informative presentations on the extra benefits of digital radio; the
impact of radio and insights into markets around the world, in
particular India and Brazil.
In the afternoon, all delegates will be able to have a "hands–on"
experience of DRM and digital radio. It will be an ideal opportunity
to network with fellow professionals from across the globe and to see
how the new technology can offer choice of content and benefit
audiences. The event will be hosted in the iconic Radio Theatre of the
BBC.
To register for the General Assembly events on the 26th March please
