August 07, 2007

Radio Southeast Asia, a new radio station in Cambodia, officially hit the airwaves on FM 106 Tuesday.

Cambodian Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said that Radio Southeast Asia is their new colleague.

"We are very happy to have a new member," he said Tuesday while addressing the official broadcasting ceremony of the new radio station, which is sponsored by the University of Cambodia (UC) and UC Chancellor Dr. Handa Haruhisa.

Radio still plays a very important role in providing news for people, he said, adding that this radio station will provide good knowledge for local residents.

Cambodian people have many choices of getting information from radio, he said, adding that it helps to wipe out illiteracy.

The new radio station's format will be designed to attract young listeners by presenting quality programs related to education, entertainment, culture, science and sports, UC President Kao Kim Hourn said.

The station initially has a transmission power of 10 kilowatts, he said. Cambodia has over 50 radio stations and 7 television stations now.
