BBC Radio Uganda 107.3

107.3 BBC Radio Uganda is a Ugandan FM relay of BBC programming, with news. The frequency carries bulletins from the BBC World Service and other BBC outputs, giving listeners in Uganda access to international news in English, with coverage of Africa, the world and the region of the Great Lakes. The programme is largely speech, with news, current affairs and features, and it is an important source of independent information for many Ugandans.

Radio is the most widely used medium in Uganda, where FM stations are numerous and where relays of international broadcasters have a long history. The BBC relay provides a window on the world and a reference for clear English, and it is followed by listeners in Kampala and other areas that receive the signal. As a public service of the BBC, the content is not commercially sponsored. The online stream allows people abroad to listen as well. This stream is delivered as MP3 at 56 kbps, a low bitrate that keeps speech intelligible while using very little data, which suits slow connections. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
