A section of Kenyan local radio stations have promised to air Kenyan content after the online uproar
Kenyans had demanded that there should be less of talking and more of action.
Already some media personalities have organized a meeting with all the involved parties.
Jalango had earlier highlighted the identity of some of the local radio stations and stated that it might be difficult for some to adjust.
Have a look
Kiss 100 is the Kenya No. 1 hit station so they will be mostly be playing hits only and songs that are already out there and rarely will you hear them try to play new songs that are not hits!
NRG RADIO is the beat of the moment! So what’s hot at the moment is what counts.
Milele is the home of African hits so if it’s hot in Africa it will be played
Xfm is the home of Rock so they will not change from Rock to play Kenyan Music that is not Rock
1fm is purely Kenyan that’s why all day all time play Kenyan songs
Classic fm is home of classic hits so on and so forth!
Despite these differences in how some stations run, some have proved to be flexible and ready to push local music.
Some of the radio stations that have supported this course include; Hero Radio, Y254, Pilipili Fm among others
