A letter about 'The Proms' and criticism of 'The Ticket', then: Concern that the FM relay station in Monrovia, Liberia is deliberately jamming World Service broadcasts, in particular Network Africa. The 麻豆社's Re-broadcasting Co-ordinator for Africa reassures listeners that it is all due to technical problems. A listener can't understand the appeal of African singer Fela Kuti. James Finlayson, producer of a new series on him, explains the singer's significance and why he merits close attention. Why no Korean or Japanese language broadcast on the World Service? Barry Langridge, Head of Asia and Pacific Service, explains why.
