Radio Maria Democratic Republic of the Congo

Radio Maria RDC is the Congolese branch of Radio Maria, an international Catholic broadcaster. Based in Kinshasa, it presents itself as a Christian voice in Congo and the world, and airs prayer, the rosary, Mass, Bible reflections and religious teaching, together with programmes on practical topics such as health, school and employment.

The station is part of the worldwide Radio Maria family and has local stations in other Congolese cities, including Matadi, Lubumbashi, Goma and Bukavu. Its editorial line is Catholic, and its website features podcasts, news from the Radio Maria network, and appeals for donations and volunteers. Programming is mostly in French and Lingala, two of the main languages spoken in Kinshasa, and the schedule is published on the station's website.

Listeners should expect a mostly spoken-word schedule with devotional and educational content, along with some sacred music. The stream is delivered over HTTPS as roughly 64 kbps AAC+ in mono, which keeps data use low for mobile listeners.
