Botswana 3.10 The public broadcaster offers diverse programming for all interests as well as balanced and fair information reflecting the full spectrum of diverse views and opinions. ANALYSIS: Given the direct control by government it is not possible for Radio Botswana and Botswana Television to offer fair and balanced information and truly diverse programming. There is no language diversity as minority languages are not catered for. BTV has made some effort in this regard. On the other hand, overall programming on radio seems more diverse than that on television. SCORES: Individual scores: 3, 3, 3, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 4 Average score: 2.6 3.11 The public broadcaster offers as much diverse and creative local content as economically achievable. ANALYSIS: BTV has started to commission more local content. However, the quality standards set are so unreasonably high that the actual share of local content shown is still low. Radio Botswana promotes folk music and folk musicians. 28 African Media Barometer - Botswana 2005
