Six new FM radio stations

    ABIDJAN
    Six private FM radio stations were licensed on Tuesday by Burkina Faso's communication commission, which regulates broadcasting in the West African country, PANA reported. This brings to about 50 the number of FM stations operating in Burkina Faso, PANA said. Two of the new stations are community radios in the capital, Ouagadougou, and the town of Bobo Dioulasso. The other four are stations in the hinterland that will target cotton-growing and livestock-breeding communities, PANA said.
