Baraka FM

Baraka FM is a Mombasa radio station broadcasting in Swahili on 95.5 FM, with a second transmitter in Malindi. It plays urban contemporary music, R&B and African pop alongside talk shows for coastal listeners.

The station was founded in 2000. Its name means blessing, and it began as a Christian station. That history became a legal fight in 2017, when a group of Mombasa pastors went to court over the station's move away from religious programming towards secular content. The dispute became a court row between Baraka FM's founders.

Today the music sets the tone. The station mixes international R&B and urban hits with East African and wider African pop, and fills the gaps with talk in Kiswahili. That puts it in direct competition with Mombasa's other music and talk stations rather than with the Christian broadcasters it started among.

On a crowded coastal dial, Baraka FM sits alongside KBC's Pwani FM, Radio Rahma, Mvita FM and Radio Kaya. The licensed company is Baraka FM Ltd.
