Last week, this column focused on the content of many FM radios in the country, particularly radios broadcasting in English from Kampala. It was a response to a listener that had asked why morning radio talk-shows feature adult content at a time parents are driving their children to school or are at home having breakfast.
We did learn from Uganda Communication Commission (UCC), the government agency that regulates broadcast media, about what in programming is referred to as “watershed period”. Apparently, the watershed period means the period of time during which programmes that might be unsuitable for children or contain adult content may be broadcast. In Uganda, the watershed period is the time between 10pm and 5am.
