The announcement was made during the annual 4th Broadcasters KUZA Awards by ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Joe Mucheru, asserting that the review is in line with the Government’s policy objective of facilitating the development of a responsive and responsible local broadcasting industry.

The ICT sector law mandates the CA to prescribe a Programming Code that sets the standards for the time and manner of programs to be broadcast by licensees. The current Code was developed in 2015 and came to force in 2016. The review is part of the Authority’s commitment that the Programming Code should be reviewed every two years.
The Royal Media Services emerged as the people's choice after winning various awards in almost all of the categories in the 4th edition of the Communication Authority KUZA Awards.
