Meru FM on 88.3 FM
Meru FM is a Kimeru-language station for the Ameru of Meru County and the wider Mount Kenya East region, broadcasting on 88.3 FM.
It launched in 2012. Mediamax set it up so the community had a station in its own language, and most programming is in Kimeru, with some English mixed in. Expect regional and national news read in Kimeru, talk programmes about farming, money and home life, sports coverage, and a music mix that moves between traditional Kimeru songs, current Kenyan hits and popular African tracks.
Mediamax also runs Kameme FM for Kikuyu listeners, Milele FM in Swahili, Emoo FM in Kalenjin and Mayian FM in Maa, along with K24 TV and Kameme TV.

Radio Waumini on 88.3 FM
Radio Waumini is the Catholic Church's station in Nairobi, run for the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) and heard on 88.3 FM.
Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa opened it on 6 July 2003. That date comes from a book the bishops published when the station turned 20 in 2023. Three years after the launch it was already being described as the country's first Catholic station. In 2006 it ran 24 hours a day, built around Daily Devotion, Mass and the Holy Rosary, with Vatican Radio bulletins in English and Kiswahili and programmes from EWTN.
In 2006 the manager was Father Martin Wanyoike, who had been with the station from the start. The 20th anniversary book lists Renato Kizito, Martin Wanyoike and Charles Kinyua among former directors, and carries a message from Adelaide Ndilu, the director as of 2023.
