The media world has changed quite a lot since the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service took to the air in 1932. Now people also get news and entertainment from thousands of sources, many of which are on the internet. So why has the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ announced the biggest expansion of the World Service in more than 70 years? It's creating 11 new language services on various media platforms targeting Russia, the Middle East, North Korea and Africa. Solomon Mugera is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Regional Editor for Africa. Alex Ritson asked him what this expansion would mean for the audience. (Picture: New Broadcasting House. Picture credit: ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.)
