“…This was followed by "they give information related to pest control" (M=2.42, SD=0.86), "farming practices such as weeding, pruning, harvesting etc, are discussed on the community radio" (M=2.37, SD=0.89), "better farming methods such as row planting, crop rotation, intercropping/ mixed crops are given" (M=2.25, SD=0.93), "agricultural information from the community help farmers to improve production with quality in order to acquire more profit. Although "community radio is convenient to be used for marketing my produce" (M=1.93, SD=0.81) has the least mean score, Freeman [37] rather showed that community radio is a channel that encourages farmers to sell their produce at the correct price rather than having their interests neglected by middlemen.…”

Local radio has played a significant role in keeping local cocoa farmers informed about their farming activities. However, the experiences of these local farmers who should be the real owners of community radio have not been captured. It would be possible to increase cocoa production if the experiences of local cocoa farmers were given the attention needed. Using a quantitative research approach, the multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 385 respondents. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. Results show that farmers were undecided about their reliance on community radio and the role it plays in disseminating agricultural information. However, they understood the agricultural-related information disseminated on community radio. They agreed that the content and presentation of community radio programs were suitable for them but were undecided on the transmission quality and community involvement. Interference from local leaders was the most severe challenge facing farmers’ use of community radio. In order to improve extension delivery there is a need for policymakers and agricultural extension stakeholders to implement programs that will encourage farmers to set up and rely on community radio as a great alternative source of information for their farming activities. This is also necessary to improve the currently low contact of extension agents with farmers, thus, reducing the extension farmer ratio.

Este trabajo examina la presencia y el impacto de las radios universitarias españolas en la plataforma iVoox a través del análisis, con técnicas de Big Data, de más de 64.000 programas. Los resultados muestran primero que iVoox es un importante difusor de contenidos sonoros de estas emisoras, que justifica que la mayoría de ellas hayan cuidado su presencia en la herramienta, separando los contenidos en diferentes canales y programas, añadiendo descripciones específicas y etiquetando los audios. Además, se identifica un grupo de emisoras con aparición continuada en la plataforma y mayor producción de programas, que también obtienen mayor impacto. Por último, se indica que los programas de estas emisoras más centrados temáticamente, especialmente los que se fijan en la divulgación cultural, tienen un mayor impacto en este canal.
