TOP 20 ENTERTAINMENT WEBSITES IN KENYA

As Kenya’s entertainment scene continues to grow in leaps and bounds, there is an insatiable thirst that develops with it for scoops and behind the scenes information on the music scene, films, events and celebrities with their lifestyles.

Just five years ago, there were very few players in this industry, among them the established newspapers: Daily Nation and the Standard, with their gossip columns alongside Capital FM who launched Capital Digital Media  in mid 2008.

Alexa, a powerful online research and statistical website, consistently rank the top websites visited daily in almost every country in the world that has internet access. It is based on this research that we are proud to bring to you the top 20 ranked entertainment websites in Kenya as recently as has been updated.

Interesting to note on this list is the fact that most of the top ranked players are more or less established news and information outlets, including the Star newspaper website and the UK entertainment column of the Huffington post. This shows that as much as Kenyans search for local entertainment news, they are not left out on what goes on in the international scene.

Not to be left out are newer entrants like Ghafla! which just makes it to the top 10, as well as Mombasa 411 which prides itself on being the top entertainment source at the coast.

Also of note is the fact that more and more Kenyans search the web for p***nographic material, which is not surprising as it is a multi billion dollar industry in America alone. The question remains, will this trend continue to grow or is it just a phase in the society?

Kenyans also love media gossip and behind the scenes news as is evidenced by the presence of Jackal Media on the list as well as the increasingly popular Media Madness website. The following list was compiled, in descending order, according to sites that are visited for the primary purpose of getting entertainment news.

The ranking is alongside the number (in brackets) the website ranks on a complete list of sites visited in Kenya, as Google came in top position, followed by Facebook in 3rd and Twitter coming in at 6th.
