Three months after going live on air, listener-supported Radio 47 had already scooped a Bronze at the sixth edition of Kuza Broadcasting Awards by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) to recognize and fete excellence in broadcasting after coming third in the favorite radio station category.
Its sister station, however, visual, TV47, won in the commercial FTA (Free to Air) TV category at that awards ceremony, whose winners were based on consumer feedback as voting was open to the public. TV47, together with Radio 47, is owned by Cape Media Limited.
