The research method used is survey while questionnaire was used in eliciting data from the selected respondents within NTA Ile-Ife and Orisun FM Ile-Ife.

Findings show that respondents admitted that media houses kill some news to accommodate commercial stories. It is recommended that broadcast media should design a better ways of generating funds to the coffer of their organisation without selling the integrity of their respective media to the sponsors.
