11.4.2. The local music content target is currently 40% for all public radio stations. Stations included in this category arelisted in Table 23.11.4.3. Between 1980 <strong>and</strong> 2000, the average local music content for these public radio stations (with the exception ofSAFM <strong>and</strong> XK FM) varied between 70% <strong>and</strong> 80%. ICASA’s target of 40% is therefore inappropriate because itis not consistent with the achievements to date. In 1996, average local music content for these stations wasalready at 80%.11.4.4. Despite the lower targets for local music content, most of the public radio stations have consistently maintaineda higher level of such content.11.4.5.
