BBC Africa Uganda

BBC Africa Uganda is a relay of the BBC's news and talk programming for listeners in Uganda. The stream carries bulletins and programmes from the BBC's Africa services and the World Service, with news from Uganda, East Africa and the continent as a whole, along with discussions, interviews and features presented in English. The programme is largely speech, and it provides an independent view of regional events at a time when people want reliable information.

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 is followed by listeners in Kampala and other areas that receive the signal, and the online stream allows people abroad to listen as well. As a public service of the BBC, the content is not commercially sponsored. The language is clear international English, with African reporters and presenters, which makes it a useful resource for learners. 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.
