Datapoint Sango/Domains of use: radio and TV news

Radio Bangui (later Radiodiffusion Centrafricaine) was inaugurated on 8 December 1958 with only 4 kw, then 30 kw in March 1962. The rural audience was not reached until the 1970s. Broadcasts in French, once dominant, have given some place to those in Sango. Broadcasters are known to speak Sango differently from the general public, and recent broadcasts reveal that their style has become innovative and self-conscious.
