Abstract
ABSTRACT There is a paucity of academic literature on Radio Univers 26 years after it first took to the airwaves as Ghana’s first authorized campus-community broadcaster. Drawing mainly on direct observations and interviews, this paper accounts for the origins of the station, and the role it has played in Ghana’s mediascape, not only in contributions to the public sphere and local music industry but also the opportunities it has created for self-expression and capacity-building for volunteer broadcasters. With meager resources, Univers has developed a reputation for producing quality media practitioners. This paper concludes that going forward, it would be beneficial for Univers and other campus broadcasters if a dedicated broadcasting law is passed in Ghana and the nation’s broadcasting regulatory regime is updated.
