You say you love the channel,you watch it,you are hence the consumer of their products. In your own judgement,have you seen anything tribal in it? Why do you want to see it from another persons eye? If they are looking hard for 'tribe' they will surely find it... as they say 'seek and you shall find'..... if it works well for you,enjoy it...... I think in this country,anything that is headed by i kikuyu is tribal but if it is headed by anyone else,its not....... to many,it is very easy to interchange the two words - kikuyu and tribal... they are used as synonyms..... so nothing to really worry about.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

there are three reasons why someone would claim the station is tribal.

1. political agenda- leaning to the interest of certain political party or community. i find the reporting fair and balanced without any doubt.

2. staff especially the visible ones- if the proportion from gema is out of control as chi2o claims. i don't have the evidence that most employees are from one community and really don't pay much attention to their names,FYI the only two k24 guys who come to my mind are jeff and louis!

3. ownership- especially if the owners are politicians. if the owners (Uhuru) are from a certain community then people may hint that the station will front their political agenda. in my opinion,i do accept this may hurt the station as it will be perceived to front the uhuru agenda but so far,it hasn't.

@ chi20
It would also b interesting to find out the tribal representation of other stations say ntv and ktn citizen.There is a sizeable no of tribal(as wendz put it synonymously) in the mentioned stations.I see some two major tribes have really taken the media houses by storm and no storm has been raised by those jaribu is talking about.

You only need to read the names and see the (im)balance.But I am more interested in professionalism than the tribal arithmetic.
