Ngemi FM

Ngemi FM is a Kiembu-language station for listeners in Embu County, run by the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation with the University of Embu as launch partner. Its slogan is 'Mucii wa Urata', and it broadcasts on 103.5 FM.

The station went on air on 13 May 2023. The launch took place at the University of Embu, after a two-day roadshow that took the new station through Embu's towns to introduce it to listeners. KBC and the university partnered on the project, which gave Embu speakers a public service station in their own language.

Ngemi FM is one of the newest members of KBC's family of vernacular stations, which also includes Coro FM in Kikuyu, Mwago FM in Kimeru, Mwatu FM in Kikamba, Kitwek FM in Kalenjin, Minto FM in Ekegusii, Ingo FM in Luhya, Nosim FM in Maa and Pwani FM at the Coast. Kiembu is close to Kikuyu and Kimeru, but it has its own identity, and Ngemi FM gives it a dedicated frequency.

Like the other KBC regional stations, it mixes news and public information with music and community talk. We have not confirmed its current presenters or flagship programmes, so none are listed here.

KBC lists Ngemi FM on 103.5 FM in Embu, matching the frequency announced at launch. Listeners outside Embu can stream Ngemi FM live on this page.
