Homeboyz Radio on 103.5 FM

Homeboyz Radio, known on air as HBR, is a Nairobi urban music station for fans of hip hop, R&B and dancehall, presented in English on 103.5 FM.

The Homeboyz name is older than the station. It goes back to 1992, when a group of music fans started the Homeboyz DJs, playing house parties and weddings with the slogan 'Keep the Krowds Movin'. Over the years the business moved from deejaying into recording studios, TV, live events and finally radio.

One presenter has defined HBR's sound more than most. Conrad Gray, a Jamaican-born broadcaster known as G Money, is credited with helping grow the station's audience and Kenya's dancehall scene. Together with Homeboyz Entertainment he was involved in concerts that brought Beenie Man, Chronixx and Konshens to Nairobi.

Ngemi FM on 103.5 FM

Ngemi FM is a Kiembu-language station for listeners in Embu County, run by the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation with the University of Embu as launch partner.

The station went on air on 13 May 2023. The launch took place at the University of Embu, after a two-day roadshow that took the new station through Embu's towns to introduce it to listeners. KBC and the university partnered on the project, which gave Embu speakers a public service station in their own language.

Ngemi FM is one of the newest members of KBC's family of vernacular stations, which also includes Coro FM in Kikuyu, Mwago FM in Kimeru, Mwatu FM in Kikamba, Kitwek FM in Kalenjin, Minto FM in Ekegusii, Ingo FM in Luhya, Nosim FM in Maa and Pwani FM at the Coast. Kiembu is close to Kikuyu and Kimeru, but it has its own identity, and Ngemi FM gives it a dedicated frequency.
