Kenya to fund community broadcasters

Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) Director General Francis Wangusi

NAIROBI: Kenyan broadcasters running community television stations could soon get State support as the government seeks to promote the production and distribution of local content.

This comes on the back of the digital migration process that has seen an upsurge in investment for digital terrestrial free to air television stations most of them localised to specific geographic areas. “Since the digital migration process, we can confirm that we have witnessed great interest in the investment for digital terrestrial free to air television,” said Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) Director General Francis Wangusi.
