SECTOR 3 3.11 The state/public broadcaster offers as much diverse and creative local content as economically achievable. Analysis: UBC TV claims that 50 per cent of its programming is local content, aiming to educate, entertain and inform the public. There are local musicians’ shows, children’s programmes, and local magazines on TV, but there is no local drama. UBC spends 40 per cent of its budget on “technical” areas, 35 per cent on administration, 15 per cent on programming in general and only 10 per cent on local programmes. Scores: Individual scores: 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator. 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator Average score: 1.9 (2007: 1.8) 3.12 Community broadcasting enjoys special promotion given its potential to broaden access by communities to the airwaves. Analysis: The Electronic Media Act 2000 regulates only commercial but not public or community broadcasting (see indicator 3.1). As a result, community broadcasters are treated as commercial operators and are supposed to pay the same licence fees as the profit-oriented broadcasters. To rectify this unfair treatment, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) intervened with the Broadcasting Council on behalf of two community radio stations – Mama FM (run by the Uganda Media Women’s Association) and Kagadi-Kibaale Community Radio.
