Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The number of local broadcast television stations carrying advertisements for liquor has increased from 60 in 2002 to over 600 currently. We take a look at the lifting of the self-imposed ban on liquor ads and whether or not the industry’s self-regulation of its own advertising content has been effective.
