Utilizing Sudan Radio Service as a Media Outlet

Do you have any product or services you want to advertise? An educational message you want to disseminate all over Sudan? Do you want to create a special series of radio programs to educate listeners on a particular topic? Are you looking for a new employee and want to use radio to seek potential applicants? Or do you just want to support SRS by sponsoring the news or a program series? If so, SRS has a wide array of services to offer.

Sponsoring Programs or Newscasts

Program sponsorship gives your product, organization, or message a mention at the beginning and end of a program or newscast. The mention may not exceed 15 seconds and will include the name of the sponsor and a product tag line, if so desired. Example:” Time now for the news in English…brought to you by Lady’s Cooking Oil – 'good food tastes better cooked with Lady’s Cooking Oil.'”

An advertised sponsorship consists of the mention at the beginning and end of the program to be sponsored, plus a produced audio ad (30 or 60 seconds) to be aired after the mention at the end of the program.

Producing Special Programs

Sudan Radio Service can work with you to create excellent educational programs or series that help you achieve your organizational goals. The cost of producing these special programs varies widely and so is calculated on an individual basis, depending on the scope of work.

Special programs include soap operas, dramas and educational “magazine” format programs that focus on a topic or issue that relates to your work or educational goal. Each program should not exceed 13 minutes in length. To learn more about the options, please feel free to make an appointment with our production team and Radio Programming Advisor.

SRS can also post-produce programs you already have. Sudan Radio Service is happy to assist you in taking audio material that is complete or almost complete and making it presentable for broadcasts. This is what we call “post production” and involves optimizing audio, making final edits, mastering recordings, and other services. Post production does not include recording time or full access to SRS studios.

Post production services include an SRS studio technician and access to SRS facilities needed to complete the post-production, but exclude optional materials (available upon request), such as CDs or backup hard drives for storing master recordings.

Broadcasting an Announcement on SRS

Sudan Radio Service airs advertisements, public service announcements (PSA’s), and non-commercial or promotional messages. An advertisement is a message that is intended to bring commercial or promotional benefits to you, the client. SRS can create ads from start to finish, including concept and design. Advertising times are sold in segments of 30 seconds. Each segment is called a "spot." Spots can be purchased very affordably in any of the SRS languages.

Public service announcements (PSA’s) are educational statements designed to address a particular issue. For example, SRS has aired PSA's that present simple steps one can take to protect oneself from HIV/AIDS. Public service announcements may be as long as 60 seconds. Sudan Radio Service creates and airs PSA’s free of charge.

Non-commercial messages are statements or expressions which are not explicitly intended to bring you commercial or promotional benefits. Words of appreciation, greetings, or other simple pronouncements are considered to be non-commercial announcements. Death (but not funeral) announcements are offered at no cost.

Hiring/Renting SRS’ State-of-the-Art Digital Studios

Sudan Radio Service has three versatile recording studios at its headquarters in Nairobi. One or more of these studios can be made available to you for recording sessions. SRS will also provide you with a studio technician to guide you. Studio hires generally need to be arranged at least one (1) week before you need the studios. Rates are subject to time, day, and other needs.

In addition to the above, SRS can also design a proposal that will suit the interest of your company or organization.
