Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) is the national public broadcaster, but the private sector dominates listenership with stations like Kiss FM, Classic 105, and Citizen Radio. Vernacular radio is hugely popular, with stations broadcasting in Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, and other languages. Gospel music is the most popular genre on Kenyan radio, followed by bongo flava, gengetone, and international hits. Radio remains the most accessible medium in Kenya, reaching rural communities where internet is limited. Mobile phone listening has transformed access, and interactive SMS-based shows engage millions of listeners daily.
