It shall be remembered that when COVID-19 came to Uganda, NBS TV took on the mantle of fighting panic among Ugandans by quickly putting together properties to provide verified Coronavirus updates. These raised the stock of one of their other reporters, Canary Mugume, and changed news bulletin dynamics by normalizing them starting at midday, 4:30 PM, and 8:30 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this year, ahead of every other media house, they also launched their elections coverage, complete with daily midday on top of the 4:30 PM news bulletin to that effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NBS Television also recently launched its Political Command Center. \u201cElections 360\u201d will be seen as yet another product the station is bringing forward to emphasize this positioning in the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
