Radio Ankole’s Journey: Bringing People Together

Since its very first broadcast on 99.3 FM, Radio Ankole has been more than a radio station — it has been a connector, a storyteller, and a unifier for Ntungamo and Western Uganda. Our journey has always been about people: their voices, their culture, and their dreams.

The beginning

Radio Ankole started with a simple goal: to give Western Uganda a strong, trusted voice on the airwaves. From the early days, the focus was clear — local languages, local stories, and content that reflected the real life of the community.

Growing with the community

As Ntungamo Municipality and the wider region have grown, so has Radio Ankole. The station has expanded its programming to cover news, health, agriculture, education, music, and spiritual content — ensuring that every listener finds a reason to tune in. By keeping the airwaves open to community voices, Radio Ankole has remained a reliable partner in daily life.

Celebrating culture

Through music, storytelling, and events, Radio Ankole has always celebrated the cultural heartbeat of Ankole. Traditional songs, gospel moments, and regional artists all find a stage here. Festivals like Ekijumeero bring people together physically, just as the radio signal does every day.

The role of presenters

Our amazing presenters have been the bridge between the station and the people. Their warmth, humor, and fluency in local languages have turned Radio Ankole into a trusted companion for thousands of listeners. Presenters don’t just speak to the audience — they speak with them.

Milestones worth celebrating

From its first broadcast to major events, Radio Ankole has reached many milestones. Ekijumeero festivals, community partnerships, and the launch of the official website are just a few highlights of a journey rooted in service and connection.

Bringing people together

At its core, Radio Ankole’s journey is about unity. Farmers and traders, students and parents, leaders and everyday citizens — all gather around the same frequency. Whether it’s a breaking news alert, a gospel hour, a health tip, or a favorite song, the station creates shared experiences that connect people across the region.

Looking ahead

Radio Ankole continues to innovate with online streaming, social media engagement, and partnerships that widen its reach. Yet the heart of the journey remains the same: to bring people together, one broadcast at a time.
