CAMPUS RADIO STATION LICENSING
Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (hereinafter referred to as BOCRA or the Authority) is mandated through the Communications Regulatory Authority Act (CRA Act) [No. 19 of 2012] to regulate the Broadcasting sector in Botswana. To promote the development and diversity of this sector, BOCRA has developed a Campus Radio Licensing framework for Tertiary academic institutions in Botswana (hereinafter referred to as the Applicant or Prospective Licensee).
WHAT IS A CAMPUS RADIO?
A Campus Radio is a non-commercial radio service offering a third model of Radio Broadcasting in addition to commercial and state broadcasting. Campus Radio licensing in Botswana will only be limited to tertiary institutions on a non-commercial basis. BOCRA envisions that licensing of Campus Radios will promote development and diversity in the broadcasting industry and improve learning and understanding of the Broadcasting industry by media students.
PURPOSE OF A CAMPUS RADIO?
A Campus Radio will be used as an efficient information dissemination tool of communication and interaction of the campus community (students, lecturers, and other staff members). Furthermore, it will be used to improve multimedia radio class projects such as content production, advertising, news, current affairs and the general application of broadcasting principles.
DETAILS OF WHO QUALIFIES?
To be issued with Campus Radio licence, the Applicant ought to be a Tertiary Institution, or a Vocational College accredited by the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA) and established by the Government of Botswana or a private tertiary/vocational institution. BOCRA therefore encourages Prospective Licensees to submit comprehensive business proposals addressed to the Chief Executive of BOCRA.
For more information on the licensing requirements can be accessed on the BOCRA website at www.bocra.org.bw or alternatively call our offices for more information.
The Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority “BOCRA or the Authority’’ wishes to inform the public that it has introduced an Online Licence Varication System for Radio Communications Licences and Type Approval Certificates. The introduction of the Online Licence Verification System has put an end to the process of certifying Radio Communications Licences and Type Approval Certificates at Bocra Offices. The public is therefore encouraged to use the Online Platform at www.bocra.org.bw to verify the Authenticity of Radio Communications Licences instead of contacting the Authority for Licence Verification.
For any clarity or assistance on Online Licence Verification, you may contact:
Mr. Gobotswang Karabo at 368 5596 or karabo@bocra.org.bw
