Information, Media and Broadcasting Services minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo says it is important that news bulletins are broadcast in all national languages to provide a wholesome product to all the peoples of the nation.
He said this during a tour of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporations Pockets Hill Studios on Monday.
Professor Moyo, who was accompanied by his deputy, Supa Mandiwanzira and senior ministry officials and journalists, said writers and presenters fluent in national langugaes should be sourced to enhance the national broadcaster's news delivery.
Earlier, Professor Moyo toured the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation's Mbare Studios, where he said the broadcaster must have a proper inventory to protect national heritage as well as generate revenue.
He said the ZBC might be losing out on potential revenue due to the absence of proper records of original recordings, adding that the rights issue is a serious matter as intellectual property is also a national heritage.
The minister and his team toured radio studios, control rooms and other facilities and was appraised on the needs for the digitalisation process.
The studios have since stopped commercial recordings of talk shows and music productions due to obsolete equipment and funding constraints.
Other studios need total acoustic treatment refurbishment as they are now unsuitable for some programmes.
Radio Zimbabwe studios host the main controls of all the radio stations under the national broadcaster.
