Inooro FM on 89.9 FM
Inooro FM is Royal Media Services' Kikuyu-language station, made for listeners in Mt Kenya, Nairobi and the Kikuyu-speaking diaspora.
The name comes from the inooro, the stone traditionally used in Kikuyu homes to sharpen knives and axes, and the station says its aim is to sharpen the minds of its audience. Its theme tune, 'Muugi ni Mutaare', translates as 'the wise accept counsel', and it describes itself as the home of kindness and generosity.
Inooro started in 2003, so it marked 23 years on air in July 2026. Several of its first presenters moved over from Radio Citizen, which at that time aired in three languages. With Royal Media's money behind it, the new station put Kameme FM under serious pressure. Royal Media now credits Inooro with more than two million listeners a day and a national listening share above five per cent.

KBC Radio Taifa on 89.9 FM
KBC Radio Taifa is the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation's national Swahili service, for listeners across the country who want news, public information and entertainment in Kiswahili.
It is one of the longest-running services on Kenyan radio. It dates back to 1953, when African Broadcasting Services started programmes for African listeners in Kiswahili and other languages. Radio itself had come to Kenya in 1924. At independence in 1964 the broadcaster became the Voice of Kenya, and it went back to the KBC name in 1989.
Generations of listeners grew up on Radio Taifa voices. The best known was Leonard Mambo Mbotela, whose long-running programme Je, Huu Ni Ungwana? aired on the service. He died in February 2025.
