“Friends of the People”, the new daily one-hour morning show (585 kHz, Mo-Fri 8am-9am) has been broadcast by Savannakhet Provincial Radio for almost a year (since September 21st 2009). The project is still developing and currently undergoing some major changes:

In order to lower the production costs and to efficiently strengthen people’s needs and opinions on air, the production team in Savannakhet has asked us to help revise the program and to develop it into a call-in-show. The aim is to invite the audience to more actively participate in the program – to call in live and to get in touch with other listeners, civil society, politicians and civil servants.

The re-alignment of regional radio is based on the fundamental principle of serving the public: more transparency and accountability, greater participation by all citizens in public debates, improved information and the inclusion of all voices and opinions. Project details and outlines will be discussed during Teamlaos’ next trip to the region (September 2010).
