Kahama FM

Kahama FM Stereo Radio is a registered commercial Radio Station broadcasting from Clinic Road-Nyahanga Kahama Town in Shinyanga region (North western Tanzania) reaching out to a population of about 7.5 million people in the remote areas of the Western regions of Shinyanga, Simiyu, Tabora, Kigoma, Mwanza, Kagera and Geita.

Coverage

The Radio which broadcasts in Swahili reaches out to audiences in a total of 17 districts of Kahama, Shinyanga Rural, Bukombe, Chato, Uyui, Tabora Rural, Misungwi, Kaliua and Urambo.

Other districts covered are Nzega, Geita, Mbogwe, Nyang’hwale, Kibondo, Igunga, Sengerema and parts of Bihalamuro District, Kagera region. Plans are underway to expand its coverage to cover at least 25 per cent of Tanzania’s land mass. This is our major concern, having obtaining clearance from the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA). The clearance paves the way for the Radio to move from the ‘District Status) to the ‘Regional’, one. You can catch us at frequency 90.80 MHz or at www.kahamafm.co.tz or www.tuinein.com.

The Radio has been registered under the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) with certificate for the Provision of Content Service number TCRA/CSRD/21/2010 of June 23rd, 2010.
