Media Producers
Yemisrach Dimts Communication Services (YDCS)
YDCS has been serving in various fields such as literacy, Christian literature and radio programme production.
- The YDCS archives hold the remaining records of Radio Voice of the Gospel (RVOG, 1964-1977).
After the military junta confiscated the radio station, YDCS shifted to cassette ministry. The main studio is located in Addis Ababa (near Mekane Yesus Seminary). For a few years, cassettes were also recorded in Hawassa, Hossana and Aira.
