Sanyuka TV’s UnCut leads Uganda’s late-evening entertainment

What the report says

Sanyuka TV’s entertainment show UnCut has been named Uganda’s leading late-evening entertainment programme in the 2026 Uganda National Media Survey, according to Nile Post’s report on a survey released by Market Intelligence Group (MIG) on Monday. The programme airs on weekdays at 8:00pm and is presented as a regular source of celebrity updates, entertainment coverage and discussion of issues from across Uganda.

The survey also placed Sanyuka TV as Uganda’s second most-watched local-language television station. Nile Post said this ranking points to the channel’s popularity with viewers who want content tied closely to Ugandan culture, familiar personalities and everyday conversation. The report frames the result as evidence of the station’s strong connection with Luganda-speaking audiences.

Individual recognition also went to UnCut host Sandra Lian, who was ranked the second most entertaining television personality in Uganda, behind Douglas Lwanga of NBS After 5. Sanyuka’s brand manager, Josephine Naggayi, said the recognition reflected the programme’s consistency and relevance, while Lian thanked viewers for making the show part of their routine.

More broadly, the recognition supports Sanyuka’s wider entertainment-focused brand identity, which the station says is built around Ugandan popular culture. Such survey rankings can matter because they influence advertising appeal, audience perception and competition among television stations in a crowded local entertainment market.
