Kenya
Kenya enjoys a more diverse media scene than many other African countries, although some media have been harrassed for upsetting the government. Most Kenyans rely on the broadcast media, particularly radio, for news. The print media is dominated by two publishing houses, the Nation Media Group and Standard, which also have broadcasting interests.
Press: The main dailies (all published in English) include Daily Nation, The East African Standard, Kenya Times and The People Daily. Taifo Leo is the only Swahili-language daily, published by the Nation Media Group. Nairobi is the main publishing center.
TV: State-owned Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) has channels in English and Swahili. Kenya Television Network was the first TV station to break the state broadcasting monopoly; it is available in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu. Nation TV is a Nairobi-based station operated by the Nation Media Group. Other private channels include: Nairobi-based station Citizen TV and Stella TV (STV).
Radio: Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) is state-owned, with language-based networks in English, Swahili and 15 other indigenous languages. Metro FM is a national music-based station operated by KBC. Coro FM is a KBC-operated Kikuyu-language station in Nairobi. Capital FM and Kiss FM are music stations. Radio Citizen is a private station with wide coverage which also operates Kikuyu-language Inooro FM and Luo-language. Full-time FM relays of the BBC World Service are on the air in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu, and some BBC programs are also rebroadcast by private Kameme FM. The Voice of America has an FM relay in Nairobi and Radio France Internationale is relayed on FM in Mombasa.
