The sampling technique used was mainly purposive. Four focus group sessions and in- depth interviews were conducted with thirty-four students and two journalists. Efforts are made to present the analysis thematically. Results revealed that regular, occasional and non-listeners consider Akababi enna Lemat to be a useful program that appeals to agricultural college students and farmers. Most respondents preferred to listen to the voices of laymen at grassroots rather than the case in Akababi enna Lemat radio program where experts, officials and journalists dominate. Respondents also expressed discomfort when listening to journalists and experts using newly coined Amharic terms and inserting English words. The transmission time of Akababi enna Lemat is inconvenient to the students while in college; but suitable to farmers and to these students after graduation. But all research participants have expressed concern over the limited geographical coverage of FM 97.1 channel that impedes the broader rural population from attending Akababi enna Lemat.
