The Media Council of Kenya has commended radio journalists for beating challenges to ensure Kenyans are informed through the medium. Speaking in honour of World Radio Day, MCK deputy CEO Victor Bwire said radio still commands the largest audience in the country compared to Television and online platforms. This year marks the 8th edition of World Radio Day with a theme dubbed 'Dialogue, tolerance and peace'. He said currently, there are about 179 radio stations in Kenya most of which broadcast in vernacular languages. He said though there are a number of challenges being faced by media houses and radio journalists, MCK is committed to ensuring that they addressed.
