SECTOR 2 Public/State: Radio Lesotho and Ultimate Radio Private: Spes Nostra (Catholic), Peoples Choice FM (PCFM), MoAfrika, Harvest, Tsenolo, Thaha Khube, Onyx 357, Jesu ke Karabo and KEL Radio Community: Dope, Motjoli, Mafeteng, Moeling With regards to coverage, Radio Lesotho is ahead of the pack, covering the entire country. The state broadcaster is followed by MoAfrika FM, with about 70% coverage; and then by PCFM. Television Lesotho Television – the state-run broadcaster, is available across the country, and is free-to-air. However, although there was a perception amongst panellists that a high number of households own television sets (one panellist stated 90%), by 2012, only 15% of households owned a TV set1. Aside from Lesotho Television’s free channels, those who can afford it also access DSTV. Internet Most newspapers in Lesotho have an online presence, and publish their papers on the internet. However, the internet is mostly accessible in urban centers, and can be quite expensive for the average Basotho, at 5 Maloti for 30 minutes at an internet café. More people are accessing internet on their phones, with data package prices being comparable to costs in South Africa.
