Radio stations in Uganda

104 stations, live.

Radio is central to daily life in Uganda. Since the airwaves were opened to private operators, a large number of FM stations have launched in Kampala and in towns across the regions, joining the public broadcaster UBC. Programming is in English and Luganda, and many stations also use other local languages such as Runyankore, Lusoga or Luo to reach their communities. Music playlists favor Ugandan artists, from kadongo kamu, a guitar-led storytelling style, to contemporary dancehall and Afrobeats-influenced pop, alongside hits from across East Africa and the rest of the continent. Talk shows and call-in programs are popular formats.
