Believers Broadcasting Network (BBN) FM 93
Freetown, Sierra Leone
Background
Believers Broadcasting Network (BBN) FM 93 is an indigenously owned Christian radio broadcaster established in 1992, established to “enlighten the hearts of people through the preaching and songs of God’s words, and to convert new souls for Christ.” The station is licensed through the Ministry of Information as a religious station, and it is registered with the Administrator General’s office. BBN, which is headed by Mr. Ransford Wright, currently employs ten broadcast journalists at its studios located at the Signal Hill area of
Freetown.
This station is funded through donations from Christian individuals and organizations, and through request and announcement fees generated from citizens of all religions. The Station Manager edits all programming before it is certified by the Program Director. Programs are aired in both pre-recorded and live broadcast formats. Training programs for staff are organized quarterly.
Programming
BBN broadcasts twelve hours daily beginning at 6:00 am, with a midday break of approximately 25 to 40 minutes. The programming schedule, which is aired exclusively in Krio, although including some news, is overwhelmingly religious in content, offering scripture readings and Christian music. Public discussion-style programs, which encourage public participation through the telephone, occur two to three times weekly. Having the advantage of being stationed on the highest cliff of Signal Hill, west of Freetown, BBN can be heard as far as Central Freetown and in parts of Cline Town in eastern Freetown.
