Yes, he got TV & Radio licence under Nyayo. However they were for Nairobi only. Sometime in 2003 he walked into CaK with Mary wambui on tow. He asked DG then to give them a brief of unused frequencies in the country. That time she was very powerful. The list was provided. She told DG to assign them to Macharia. The letter was written and he walked out with almost 30-50 frequencies. Soon nation did the same and lastly radio Africa. Each got a dozen. That’s how the media owners association become the media cartel. Between them and former President Moi own standard media own 70% of radio frequencies in Kenya. KBC own the other 20% and the rest 10%. They fought TV digital migration and the same is expected on radio. The price is billions in advertising revenue a year.
Some of the digital radio receivers in the market currently. Simple, small and familiar. The only change is that you don’t turn a knob but use a button to search for your favourite station.
The time he jammed Radio Africa’s signals people were really shocked, Kiss 100 ilikuwa inacheza ngoma za kikamba and kiuk for a while :D:D:D:D:D and no action was taken against him. I can see why.
