Having highlighted all the radio stations in Kenya in our previous article, here, we have a look at all community radio stations in Kenya as of 2020. A community radio station basically covers a specific geographical area assigned to them by the Communications Authority of Kenya CA). The first community radio in Kenya was the Homa Bay Community Radio Station which was established in the western part of Kenya in May 1982. Today, there more than 30 community radio stations in Kenya serving different communities.
Most of these community radio stations are run by universities and NGOs on the basis of low power transmitters of between 50 to 100 watts, shared frequencies and a limited coverage area of 25 km.
