OBN To Be Media Patron of the Sarajevo Music Forum

Sarajevo, 3 August 1998

The Open Broadcast Network have agreed to become a media patron for 'Futura Sarajevo', an unprofitable project of the International Festival of Electronic Music.

This agreement will entail OBN to have exclusive rights to broadcast a forty minute show in which the Festival, organisers and participants will be presented a few days prior to the actual Festival.

Mike Challenger, Project Director OBN said, "The Sarajevo Music Forum has the main intention to organise the professional musicians and music workers for Bosnia and Herzegovina and to rebuild the urban music scene in Sarajevo. The Open Broadcast Network jumped at the chance to sponsor 'Futura Sarajevo' to bring this contemporary music to the young people that follow it and in return hope to revitalise the music scene in Bosnia and Herzegovina that was almost totally destroyed in the war".

'Future Music 98' will be broadcast on OBN on Wednesday 5th August at 22.30 pm.
