SUBJECT : African Logographs
1. The following is intended to guide application of logo-
graph policies set forth in earlier communications to broadcasts
coming from sub-Sahara Africa. Many broadcasters in this area
make only vague distinctions between broadcasts for domestic
listeners and those for listeners in foreign countries. It is
necessary to assign certain programs arbitrarily to one category
or the other.
2. Generally an official program will be considered a domestic
service in the absence of positive indications to the contrary. A
program must have one or more of the following characteristics to
qualify as an international service:
a. it is unambiguously announced to be only for listens'
abroad;
b. it is broadcast in a language or at a time of day
unsuitable for domestic listeners;
c. it is a language suitable for listeners abroad and is
transmitted on a high-frequency service at the same time
separate (domestic) programs are broadcast on a low-frequency
service.
3. Targets will be omitted in logographs for not-official
broadcasts, as A rule. If anon-official broadcast announces a
specific target different from its regular service area and knowledge
of that target enhances understanding of the copy, then the target
may be included.
5. The following logograph list is based largely on current
coverage but inoludes additional examples which illustrate the
distinction between international, and domestic services.
