While the public broadcaster remains the dominant national player - in terms of reach - in both radio and television, commercial broadcasters have introduced a substantial level of diversity in the industry. Public broadcasting faces serious competition from the numerous private and independent broadcasters, especially in and around the capital Kampala and major urban centres. In fact, the private/commercial sector clearly dominates the industry in most respects, notably productivity and profitability. The public broadcaster, which enjoys wider geographical coverage, faces the challenge of trying to fulfill a broad mandate with little funding. This makes it difficult for UBC to compete with the more nimble operators in the commercial/private sector. Overall, there appears to be a healthy degree of pluralism and diversity in terms of ownership.Public broadcasting in Africa series.On air, UgandaPublic broadcastingGovernment policyZimbabweBroadcasting policyZimbabwePublic broadcastingGovernment policyBroadcasting policy384.54065Lugalambi George W1097554AfriMAP.Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa.Open Society Institute.Media Programme.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910524880703321Uganda4202547UNINA
