Walu Be careful what you wish for...you might just get it! The truth of the matter is that we just can't roll over and let the Government do what we should do ourselves - as decent citizens and parents. The thing about censorship as defined is that it can just as easily be used to silence opponents of the government and other 'undesirables'. We are still evolving as a society. Media outlets get their advertising dollars through ratings which are derived through readership, listenership and viewship. This is where the holy grail of media is. If we as a society do not feed the Troll then it will wither and die. If we do it will grow strong and eventually come to eat us up. That's just the way things are.

The tone of broadcast material particularly from radio stations is leaning towards adult content.
Ten years ago, when the FM revolution took Kenya by storm adult content was often aired "after hours", mainly after 11pm.
The rationale being that minors are expected to be asleep and will not be subjected to content that is inappropriate for their age.
