Inooro FM on 98.9 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.

Coco FM on 98.9 FM
Coco FM is a coastal station broadcasting on 98.9 FM from Kilifi, with news, business, health and entertainment for listeners along the Kenyan coast.
The website gives a fair picture of what the station covers. It has separate sections for news, business, health and entertainment, which suggests a talk-and-music format rather than a music-only one. The station says its on-air team includes coastal comedians and well-known local personalities. We have not found a list naming them, so we do not name presenters here. The site presents those personalities as a big part of the station's appeal.
Coco FM is sometimes described as a Mombasa station that broadcasts in English. The station itself gives only the Kilifi frequency of 98.9 FM, and it does not state a main broadcast language. We have not seen the station confirm its language mix, so we leave that field blank.
