The public broadcaster offers as much diverse and local
content as economically achievable.

ANALYSIS:
KBC offers diverse programmes including more local productions
than any of the private operators. KBC has high quality equipment
and studio facilities. However, the quality of productions leaves a
lot to be desired. For recordings made outside the studios, for example, little creative efforts go into scripting, editing and packaging. A lot of broadcast material is still very raw. There seems to
be a lack of motivation among the staff because creativity is not
rewarded. Those who have left KBC have excelled elsewhere.
