Kenyan artists protested domination of Nigerian music on local Kenyan radios . August 12 2015 members of the Kenyan Musician Movement took to the Nation Centre in Nairobi yesterday to air their grief and accused the media of favouritism towards West African and South African music.According to Nairobi News, Mitch Wyclif, a publicist for Beat Ya Keggah production, said: “We are demanding for 70% airplay from our LOCAL media as we see only Tanzania and Nigeria music being aired”.
The Kenyan government has put in place a new directive that requires TV stations to broadcast 60% local content. The Communication Authority of Kenya expects all broadcasters to meet this requirement by 2018.
