Analysis: UBC offers five radio channels (two more than at the time of the 2007 report): Star FM, Magic FM, Red Channel, Blue Channel, and Radio Butebo. In addition, UBC runs a network of semi-autonomous “community” radio stations under the label Mega FM. These stations, viewed collectively, serve the audience in all major languages and offer content for all interests. UBC’s one TV channel airs children’s programmes, sports, talk shows, religious broadcasts, business slots, and local and foreign soap operas. Due to a lack of adequate funding, however, these and older programmes have to be recycled quite a lot to fill time. Most of the local content programmes are paid-for by government agencies and non-governmental organisations. Coverage of presidential visits takes up a lot of airtime.
