Koch FM – Nairobi County<br />
Koch FM is based in Korogocho slums, Nairobi County. It’s broadcasting frequency is 99.9MHZ.<br />
The mission of the station is to provide a platform for the community, issues through information<br />
sharing, education and communication with a view to promote their social, political and<br />
economic well-being.<br />
Koch FM was brought on board as a partner in the project to replace Rware FM in Nyeri County<br />
which was off-air for a long time. Representatives from the community radio station had been<br />
taken through the purpose, objectives and goals of the project by KCOMNET staff prior to<br />
their engagement as active project partners. This was followed up in a reflection and content<br />
development session at the vicinity of the community radio station.<br />
The community radio collaborated with theatre artists from the community. They identified<br />
corruption as one of the root causes of all the problems in the community and in the country.<br />
They developed content on the theme of corruption and produced episodes of a radio drama<br />
show known as Mla leo. The drama series is broadcast weekly at the community radio station<br />
on Thursdays at 7.45 a.m and on Fridays at 8.30 p.m.<br />
