Compared to 2019, both Jamhuri and Mwananchi have retained their position among the top five media in the country on this parameter. On the other hand, Radio Free Africa, TBC1, Clouds FM and Hits FM have made significant gains progressing from the tail-end in the 2019 ranking to the lofty ranks of the top five. Some local radio stations have also dropped within the ranking.
