BBC World Service West Africa

BBC World Service West Africa is a regional feed of the BBC World Service, the BBC's international news and current affairs radio service in English. It is scheduled for listeners in West Africa and carries news bulletins, reports from correspondents around the world, interviews, discussion programmes, documentaries and features, with coverage of Africa and global developments. The programming is mostly speech and the tone is calm and impartial.

The World Service began in 1932 as the BBC Empire Service and belongs to the British Broadcasting Corporation, a public broadcaster in the United Kingdom. Its content is guided by the BBC's editorial guidelines on impartiality and is not commercially sponsored. The clear English also suits learners who want to practise listening to news. This entry was previously labelled as BBC Radio Uganda, but the stream is the West Africa feed of the World Service, and it can be heard from anywhere over the internet.

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 on RadioKite, and you can add it to your favourites.
