88,00 MHz Sound Asia One of two Nairobi stations that cater for the city's substantial population of Indian subcontinent origin.
88,50 MHz Coro (pronounced "Soro") FM. This KBC-run station broadcasts exclusively in Kikuyu, the language of Kenya's largest tribe and the one that predominates in Nairobi and neighbouring Central Province, immediately to the north of the capital. I find Kikuyu music rather attractive, if somewhat monotonous, and so this has become quite a favourite for me.
89,30 MHz KBC´s Swahili service This is a low-power transmitter based at Broadcasting House in the centre of Nairobi.
89,50 MHz KBC´s "Eastern Service" With its shortwave relay off the air (see above) this appears to be the only outlet for this service, which broadcasts in Somali and other languages mainly spoken in northern and eastern Kenya.
89,90 MHz KBC´s "Central Service" Broadcasting in Kikuyu, Hindi and other languages spoken in Nairobi and other parts of the centre of the country, this reaches a larger audience via its mediumwave channel (1268 kHz).
91,90 MHz East FM Another station for the Indian community, this is available to a much wider audience via all three African beams of WorldSpace.
92,90 MHz KBC´s Swahili service The main channel in Nairobi for the KBC's Swahili service.
93,70 MHz BBC World Service in English and Swahili The audio quality is better than the BBC WS outlet on WorldSpace.
95,10 MHz Iqra FM An Islamic station with programmes in English and other languages.
95,60 MHz KBC´s English service The main channel in Nairobi for the KBC's English service. For details of some of their programmes and photos of some of their presenters, see http://www.kbc.co.ke/renglish.asp .
96,40 MHz Nation FM Run by the publishers of the Daily Nation, Kenya's biggest selling newspaper, who also operate Nation TV. A mixture of news and music. I enjoy reading the newspaper but have yet to find the radio enticing. The paper's web site, which also offers audio from the radio, is http://www.nationaudio.com/News/DailyNation/Today/ .
97,30 MHz KBC´s English service Another outlet for the KBC's English service.
98,40 MHz Capital FM Roughly what one would expect from a station with such a name. I suspect it has lost much of its audience to the newer Kiss 100.
99,50 MHz Coro FM This is the main frequency in Nairobi for Coro FM (see 88.5).
100,30 MHz Kiss 100 Very popular station, broadcasting mainly in English with a mixture of music, short news bulletins, traffic reports, phone-ins and competitions. Often heard playing in shops and bars. It is also relayed on the southern African beam of WorldSpace.
101,10 MHz Kameme FM A privately-run station broadcasting in Kikuyu, though with a mixture of Kikuyu and Western music.
101,90 MHz Metro FM The KBC's attempt to take some of the young, urban audience away from the likes of Capital and Kiss. Also has outlets in other cities and towns.
105,20 MHz Family FM Christian station, which also runs a TV channel in Nairobi.
107,70 MHz VOA in English Seems to lose its audio feed very often, sometimes for whole days at a time.
