IV.III: Reviews

Perform Periodic Program Reviews of All Broadcast Services

Other Information:

Quality control must be at the very heart of managing effective broadcast services. It is the crucial vehicle through which listener feedback and environmental assessment come together to provide a measuring stick. We exercise quality control through program reviews.· At least once each year, each language service will undergo a program review, one purpose of which is to continuously improve the quality of programs targeted to each market area. While the program review will cover all aspects of programming, delivery and impact, the programming quality will be sampled and assessed by external and internal evaluators and listeners as part of the International Audience Research contract.· Four months after seeing the program review and listening panel results, broadcast management will perform a second review to ensure that all programming quality deficiencies have been addressed and that the programming has improved markedly. The procedures for this programming quality review will be standardized throughout BBG to ensure highest quality reviews.
