Jowi FM on 98.1 FM
Jowi FM is a Dholuo-language station based in Kisumu, broadcasting on 98.1 FM to Luo listeners across Nyanza. Its coverage takes in Kisumu, Siaya, Homa Bay and Migori counties.
The station began life under another name. It first went on air on 2 April 2019 in Siaya as Ratego FM. In late 2022 it moved to Kisumu, widened its coverage across Luo Nyanza and rebranded as Jowi FM. Jowi is the Dholuo word for buffalo.
The station was founded by Captain David Bondo and John Odingi, two employees of Royal Media Services who went on to open their own radio station. Odingi is the managing director.
