Luang Prabang Community Radio popular among locals

(KPL) Luang Prabang Community Radio is attracting a relatively large audience while lacking young human resources, experience and techniques, said Deputy Head of the Information and Culture Service of Luang Prabang province.

The radio was established five years ago and ever since it has broadcast a programme themed “children and mothers will be saved if they take into account vaccination”, said Mr. Som-ok Phanthavong, whose post was mentioned earlier.

The radio held a meeting to assess its operation over the previous time on February 26.

Currently the radio has 204 programmes
