Emoo FM

Emoo FM is a Kalenjin-language station from Mediamax Network, aimed at Kalenjin listeners in the Rift Valley and in Nairobi. In the capital it sits on 104.2 FM.

Most of its audience is in the Rift, and each area has its own frequency. Eldoret and Nandi listeners use 91.8 FM, Kericho has 90.8 FM and Bomet 105.5 FM. Nakuru is on 90.2 FM, Kapenguria on 105.4 FM, and Kisumu on 89.2 FM. If the signal fades as you travel, those are the numbers to try.

Emoo FM launched in 2017. It was set up to give the Kalenjin community its own voice on the dial, and it competes directly with other Kalenjin broadcasters, Royal Media's Chamgei FM among them. Programmes reflect the region. There is news in Kalenjin, talk shows on family, farming and the local economy, and plenty of sport, with athletics given more airtime than on most stations. Music runs from older Kalenjin songs to current local releases.

The station belongs to the Mediamax stable, which also includes Kameme FM, Milele FM, Meru FM, Mayian FM, K24 TV and Kameme TV. TV Africa Kenya Holdings, a company associated with the Kenyatta family, is the registered holder of these brands. We could not confirm current presenters or a programme schedule, so none are listed.

Tune to 104.2 FM in Nairobi, or to the local frequency in your Rift Valley town. Emoo FM also streams live online for listeners in the diaspora.
