Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Here is the weighted distribution of the responses to radio listening in the Kenya 2003 survey:

index.php?t=getfile&id=758&private=0

"Listening to the radio once a week" means listening at least that often. It is the sum of codes 2 and 3, which is 75.18%. If the report says 75.1%, I would consider that to be a match. (The difference of a tenth of a percent is annoying but is probably due to the treatment of code 9.)

I don't know why codes 0 to 3 were used rather than codes 1 to 4, for this survey. We occasionally encounter survey-specific or country-specific inconsistencies of this sort. Your problem in getting a match was that your consolidation of codes was not appropriate for the 0 to 3 coding.

I assume that this will explain the problem getting a match for newspaper and TV too, and for Kenya 2008 as well as Kenya 2003.
