The state/public broadcaster is technically
accessible in the entire country.
Analysis
Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) radio and TV channels have countrywide
reach even though the quality of the signal may be poor in some areas due to
terrain and weather interferences.
The Corporation is the designated signal carrier in the on-going migration from
analogue to digital broadcasting and has formed a separate company Signet for
this purpose. Kenya’s timetable for the migration is the year 2012 while ITU set
it for 2015. Kenya launched the digital terrestrial television (DTT) on December
9, 2009.
KBC is on-line on www.kbc.co.ke
