Abstract:
Given the increasing relevance of radio in education, this thesis is an effort at examining the place of campus radio stations in educational broadcasting in two tertiary institutions in Cape Coast. Data was collected with the aid of questionnaire and semi-structured interview guides. The questionnaires were administered to students in the two tertiary institutions and the semi-structured interview guide was used for the management the two institutions and the staff of the radio stations. Grounded in the community radio model, the findings showed that the two campus radio stations were a hybrid of community radio. Again, they did not offer many programmes in educational broadcasting and funding was a major challenge for them. These findings have implications for the redefinition of the place of campus radio in educational broadcasting.
