Programming is certainly varied but it does not take all interests into account. Those critical towards the regime do not have access to RTNC’s channels and are not covered by the RTNC. When inhabitants of a Kinshasa neighbourhood protested in order to gain access to drinking water, the event was censored. The activities of the Head of State, on the other hand, and of members of the government claim the overwhelming majority of the programmes and newscasts in particular.
