The radios are Vision Voice (94.8fm), Bukedde (100.5fm) and Radio West (100.2fm).
The plan is to go into television, starting with Bukedde TV. Masiko said the Government recognised the group’s contribution to the economy by creating jobs. She lauded the company for its in-house training programmes aimed at equipping journalists with the practical skills.
