Madagascar – Skill Development for Radio DJs and Technological Progress Mark the Presence of "Radio Don Bosco"

26 February 2025

(ANS – Ivato) – With its deep roots in Malagasy society and a commitment to staying "always in tune with its listeners," Radio Don Bosco continues to enhance its services to better meet audience expectations. In this spirit, on Saturday, February 22, 2025, a training session was held at the Provincial House of Maria Immacolata Salesian Vice Province in Madagascar—where the radio station is based. The event brought together hosts of the weekly program Education for Life and Love (EVA- Educazione alla vita e all’amore).

Broadcast every Thursday from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, EVA is produced in collaboration with various Commissions of the Episcopal Conference of Madagascar (CEM- Conferenza Episcopale del Madagascar). As its name suggests, it has an educational purpose, covering a wide range of topics such as development, health, family, environment, justice, and culture. Experts regularly contribute to the program, often returning each month to delve deeper into specific subjects.

Thanks to this approach, the program has gained great popularity in recent years. To ensure its continued success, the training session provided an opportunity for hosts and guest experts to enhance their skills with the support of Radio Don Bosco’s staff.

Transition to Digital Broadcasting

At the same time, Radio Don Bosco is expanding its reach by making its programs available online. To adapt to this new format, hosts have been trained in live-on-camera communication techniques and best practices for engaging video audiences.

Moving from traditional radio broadcasting to video presents a significant challenge for professionals accustomed to addressing only listeners. However, all involved have approached this transition with enthusiasm and professionalism. The afternoon session of the training day was dedicated to hands-on exercises to put their new skills into practice.

Before the official launch of this exciting digital expansion, pilot episodes and test broadcasts will take place over several weeks. Ultimately, content will be available on YouTube and Facebook, the two most popular social media platforms in Madagascar.

Looking ahead, Radio Don Bosco plans to bring all its major programs online. To stay updated on its digital transformation, follow the RDB LIVE Facebook page and be part of this new chapter in Malagasy media!
