SECTOR 3 Key indicators of the change include Latin American soaps and even a lottery show. KBC has equally increased violent and explicit content to attract larger audiences and the subsequent advertising that is attracted as a result. The state broadcaster has also indulged in the sale of live broadcasts of specific events. Parliament pays KBC KSh10 million (about US$ 125,000) monthly to broadcast its deliberations. KBC in turn sells the right to other broadcasters.

Kenya’s past policies of developing infrastructure of “high priority” areas neglected other areas and there are parts of the country that do not have the basic infrastructure to support radio and television broadcasting. As a result some parts of the country remain uncovered by the state broadcaster. Difficult terrain is also to blame for the poor reach of KBC, especially in the north of the country. However, the unreached parts of the country are shrinking. These unreachable parts seem to be shrinking because the KBC is a free-to-air broadcaster and people with satellite dishes are able to capture its signal in the hinterlands.
