To many people now, television is just another thing and not part of the priorities as it was way back. Television stations are just competing for market with just a few people but hardly attracting new people to follow them.
The question though is, why is television losing relevance and yet it shouldn’t. The lack of content on our TV stations is so alarming.
You will find the same exact programs with just a twist of a few things to make it seem original. TV stations are simply copying each other but not adding value to the content.
This has made the whole thing very boring and unbearable because you can’t watch the same things on different stations.
Creativity is like a myth to our stations. Even when one tries to be creative, you will find another station duplicating the exact program on their station. These things are simply making television lose relevance.
As if the lack of creativity is not enough, YouTube has not left television the same. Many media personalities have decided to quit their jobs on TVs to start their own programs on YouTube.
If they don’t act early, television may just remain as a place to get news of which this too is not a problem with the internet.
Television programmers should go back to the drawing board and create content that is relevant to the new generation.
It is not a matter of just being on air but what you are airing is equally important otherwise we have seen stations collapse just after a month of being on air.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
