It is also home to a zoo. The city also houses Antoinette Tubman Stadium and the National Complex sports stadiums. The National Complex is one of the biggest stadiums in Africa, with seats for 40,000.[citation needed]
Numerous tabloid style newspapers are printed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, most of which are no more than 20 pages. Radio and TV stations are available, with radio being a more prominent source of news as problems with electricity supply make watching television more difficult. UNMIL Radio has been broadcasting since October 1, 2003. It is the first radio station in Liberia to broadcast 24hrs a day, and covers an estimated 2/3rds of the population.[6] STAR radio broadcasts at 104 FM.[7]
The Daily Talk is a compilation of news written up daily on a roadside blackboard in the Sinkor region of Monrovia. In addition to news items, it prominently features quotations from the Bible.
