BBC World Service West Africa

BBC World Service West Africa is an English-language stream of the BBC World Service as programmed for listeners in West and Central Africa. It carries news bulletins, current affairs, interviews, features and discussion programmes, with a focus on reporting that is relevant to the region as well as international stories. The programme is almost entirely speech, and it offers an independent view of events at a time when many people look for reliable information.

The BBC World Service is operated by the BBC, the United Kingdom's public broadcaster, and its international output is funded by the BBC and the UK government. The stream address identifies this feed as the West Africa service. Exact schedules are not published on this listing, and programmes may change through the day. The language is clear international English, which makes it a useful resource for learners.

On RadioKite the stream is delivered as MP3 at 56 kbps, a low bitrate that keeps speech intelligible while using little data, which suits slow connections. It plays in your browser without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
