More than 2,000 interviews were carried out there with representative samples of the population by Malian researchers recruited, trained and supervised by IMMAR, a French institute specialized in conducting media and marketing surveys in Africa. \u201cIf we take the weighted figure for the total sample, 32% of Malians aged 15 and over say they listen to Studio Tamani\u2019s programmes,\u201d IMMAR says in its report. The figure is particularly high in Timbuktu (71 %), Gao (60%) and Mopti (42%). In Bamako, where there is strong media competition and people\u2019s centres of interest are more varied, the figure is 11%.<\/p>\n<p>Studio Tamani\u2019s programming, launched in August 2013, is broadcast every day by a network of 70 partner radios throughout the country. It is made up of radio news bulletins in 5 languages, a big debate programme called\u00a0 \u201cLe Grand Dialogue\u201d and feature programmes on issues linked to the news or daily life. Listeners expressed a high level of trust in the information provided and strong appreciation of its utility. According to the survey, 95% of listeners in Timbuktu said the programmes were \u201cuseful or indispensable\u201d, 94% in Bamako and 93% in Kayes. Similar proportions said they trust the information broadcast by Studio Tamani. In Mopti, 81% replied \u201cyes certainly\u201d and 18% replied \u201cyes probably\u201d. In Bamako, 76% said \u201cyes certainly\u201d and 23% said \u201cyes probably\u201d, while in Timbuktu 73% said \u201cyes certainly\u201d and 25% said \u201cyes probably\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that people can listen to Studio Tamani\u2019s programmes in their native language is a plus and is especially appreciated,\u201d says IMMAR. \u201cThe choice of subjects and the way they are covered in the programmes allows the public to better understand their country.\u201d For example, 88% of Studio Tamani listeners say its programmes allow them to \u201cbetter understand Mali and how it works\u201d, 87% say the programming stimulates their interest in \u201cregions and populations in Mali that previously interested me little or not at all\u201d and 86% say listening to Studio Tamani allows them to \u201cchange the way I behave towards certain problems\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to an audience survey conducted in Mali in late 2017 by the IMMAR institute, 32% of people over 15 in the West African country listen to Studio Tamani, Fondation Hirondelle\u2019s radio programming there.
