Kalika FM 95.2

Kalika FM 95.2 is a Nepali FM station with news and music. The programme mixes Nepali songs, from folk and lok dohori to modern pop and film music, with news bulletins in Nepali, interviews, community announcements and talk shows that deal with daily life, health, education and local affairs. Like many FM stations in the country, it serves as a companion for households and shops as well as a source of practical information for its community.

Community and independent FM radio grew rapidly in Nepal from the 1990s onward and became a major part of the country's media, offering local voices on topics that national outlets rarely cover. An online stream expands the reach of a station like Kalika FM to Nepalis who work abroad, in the Gulf states, Malaysia, India and Western countries, and who often rely on radio to keep in touch with home, hear the language and share a sense of community. Learners of Nepali can also benefit from the clear spoken style of broadcasters. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 128 kbps, which gives clear sound for speech and music on most devices. It plays in your browser on RadioKite, and you can add it to your favourites.
