Blue Radio

Blue Radio is a Mombasa-based online station that reports on the blue economy, aimed at young people in coastal communities who want to understand fishing, the ocean and the jobs that depend on them. It is run by Gilitics Media, a startup founded by journalism graduates Gilbert Were and Johnson Muema.

The station's focus is unusual for Kenyan radio. Rather than chasing the latest hits, Blue Radio makes educational programmes on sustainable fishing, ocean conservation and marine careers. Its audience is young people in coastal communities, where fishing and marine work are part of daily life.

Because it is digital, Blue Radio has no FM frequency. Listeners tune in on phones or computers, so a data connection is all you need. Because the content is educational rather than live news, it also lends itself to listening on demand.

We have not found Blue Radio's launch date, its main language or a programme schedule, so no shows are listed. The station has not stated its language policy. Gilitics Media's own Blue Radio page is the best place to look for new episodes and updates.
