Across thirty-eight years, Kenzhebek Kumysbekov’s name appeared five times in television and radio archives: first among the participants in a shared programme, then in the title of a film, a tribute and two parts of one radio programme.
1983 · Among the participants in Tamasha
Tamasha was a television programme. Its autumn edition featured several participants: actors, musicians and the Kurmangazy Orchestra. The Altyn Qor electronic archive also names Kenzhebek Kumysbekov among its participants.
1992 · A film bearing his name
Nine years later, Qazaqtelefilm — the Kazakh television film studio — released a film about Kenzhebek Kumysbekov during his lifetime. The composer’s name no longer appeared in a list of participants, but in the title.

Three years after the composer’s death, the television series Personality devoted a separate edition to him. The title carried a dedication: “Dedicated to Kenzhebek Kumysbekov.”
2021 · Two November broadcasts
On 21 November, Qazaq Radiosy — Kazakh Radio — broadcast the first part of Creating Legends, a programme about Kenzhebek Kumysbekov. Exactly one week later, on 28 November, the second part was carried by Classic Radiosy, another station operated by the Qazaq Radiolary company.
