This must be the worst of the many worse state agencies. Seriously, they had 30-40 years head start compared to the competition, yet they can never do anything correctly! From broadcasting, research, employment, technology etc! I think its problem come from the fact that senior government officials have had serious conflict of interest in this business e.g Moi (KTN), Uhuru (K24), Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

They have been and are still a public broadcaster, and I think they have one of the widest reach, they have produced some of the best journalists and both radio and tv personalities, their local productions have in the past and present enjoyed large following in the region, I also have a feeling they are the biggest employer among the other broadcast media houses and so far they are the only local guys who have a digital broadcast setup via signet.
not bad for a public corporation.

not bad for a public corporation. A good starting point. IMO, being a public broadcaster, we should free it up from the profit motive as the sole reason for its existence and operation. I dunno how other countries handle their public broadcaster operations, but I think KBC should not have to fight it out with the other purely commercial outfits for its existence. I think we should bite the bullet and fund it fully. Once freed up from this, we can then sanction it to concentrate on whatever else that a media company should do. I have in mind them researching on and coming up with locally relevant (as opposed to just buying) documentaries, sports programs, science shows, etc as well as truly national news. I want, as a viewer, to be informed of how my brothers and sisters in far-flung places of Kenya are doing, be it those in Mandera, Turkana, Kuria, Lamu, etc. I wanna know how these people live, what is their culture like, their environment, their challenges, way of life, etc. I don't want to always have news about Nairobi and neighboring counties, or always be told about Garissa only when terrorists strike, no. Kenya is much bigger than that. In so doing, KBC can, in a small way, contribute to generating some excitement and interest about other kenyan's culture which may go a long way in extinguishing negative ethnicity, promoting our sense of nationhood as well as perhaps exciting some interest in domestic tourism. KBC should never have to compete with the commercial broadcasters in screening the Oga/Phillipino/Latino rubbish that currently passes for prime-time programming in virtually all our tv stations. I know I'd be their most loyal viewer if only they could give me this kind of 'alternative' programming. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Now i can see someone who, like me, watches (at times) and has seen serious problems at KBC-TV unlike @Nakujua. On sato, i was watching street court and what they did as they also did last week, showed alot needs to be done in that house. They need the RIGHT technicians, technologists, engineers, managers and most importantly, TECHNOLOGY. You cannot show pictures of a programme and the sound is for another programme and adverts. And showing pictures at 4 times fast forward because time is over is a BIG JOKE! Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

KBC is state owned. I'm shocked you guys are shocked at the quality. You now have a wide array of choices and I don't get why you'd even tune kbc into your channels.
BBI will solve it :)

Most people in the urban area adore KBC. it is the mother of all. They do not even like a change of channels. However KBC should spice up.

K24 they are throwing tantrums to get a digital broadcast licence, so they thought by withdrawing from the two licence holders the migration will fail.

I think its problem come from the fact that senior government officials have had serious conflict of interest in this business e.g Moi (KTN), Uhuru (K24), ..and beautiful Presenters too. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..
