Meddie Nsereko, one of the senior presenters and manager at the station, disclosed last weekend that since Bobi Wine’s appearance at the station on July 5, 2020, the station leadership was so spooked that they made a decision not to invite him back.
At the time, the opposition leader was campaigning for the 2021 presidential elections.
He appeared at the Bulange-based station for the weekend talk show amid heightened security.
Hundreds of his supporters, throughout the talk show, gathered outside the station, and at the end, they were engaged in running battles with police.

Speaking in a YouTube interview, Nsereko, who hosted Bobi Wine said this was one of the scariest and most intense talk shows he’d ever conducted.
Bobi Wine, through the program, went off with a barrage of insults and allegations against President Yoweri Museveni and top government officials.
Nsereko narrated that time and again he tried to plead with the opposition leader to watch his language but he wouldn't listen.

“It was such a scary moment…I looked outside the window and saw the kind of people that were standing outside and I figured we were probably getting shut down,” he narrated.
“But Bobi Wine was going on and on. I begged him to please slow down..they were going to shut down this station, but he wouldn't listen.
“I even asked Eddy Mutwe who is my niece and Nubian Li to speak to their man to tone it down.”
After the show, Nsereko says, it was determined that Bobi Wine does not return to the station.
“Indeed from that time, CBS has decided not to bring back Kyagulanyi because they are concerned that he will bring trouble,” he said.
It should be noted however, that while Bobi Wine hasn't been at CBS for three years, early this year he appeared on its sister TV station, BBS Terefayina.
The TV station also recently ran a docu-series about the NUP boss which was shot at his house in Magere.
CBS FM was shut down and its license revoked by the government for a full year, from October 2009 for inciting the public in built up to and in the wake of the deadly Kabaka riots.
