Kiss 100

Kiss 100 is Radio Africa Group's English-speaking hits station, playing urban hits for young Nairobi listeners on 100.3 FM. Its studios are at Lion Place in Nairobi, the group's headquarters.

This is where Radio Africa began. Patrick Quarcoo and William Pike put Kiss on air in 2000, and the company later grew around it with Classic 105, Radio Jambo and other brands. For many years Kiss was the group's lead station.

From the start the station went after middle-income teenagers and young adults with chart music, house and the first wave of Kenyan hip hop. Cash giveaways in on-air quizzes, rather than goods, helped build loyalty. As those first listeners got older the numbers dropped, and Radio Africa shifted its main focus to Classic 105.

The breakfast slot is the station's best-known asset. Caroline Mutoko presented it for years, at times with Jalang'o and Nyambane beside her. The next pairing was Kalekye Mumo with Shaffie Weru, followed by Adelle Onyango with Weru, until Onyango left in 2019 after seven years. That June, Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe were announced as the new Kiss morning team, leaving NRG Radio, with the show's reach put at over two million millennials. NRG went to court over the move.
