At Radio Ankole 99.3 FM, our mission is simple: serve, connect and celebrate Western Uganda. Broadcasting from Ntungamo Municipality, we blend music, news, culture and service to create a station that’s local, trusted, and always relevant. Here’s a clear snapshot of what we do — and why tuning in matters.
What we do
1. Local news & information
We deliver timely, locally focused news: council updates, community announcements, school notices and important public-service alerts so listeners stay informed about what matters in Ntungamo and the wider region.
2. Music & culture
From traditional Ankole melodies to contemporary hits and gospel blocks, our music programming celebrates local artists and preserves cultural identity. We spotlight emerging talent and keep the region’s soundtrack alive.
3. Public service & education
We run health segments, agricultural tips, exam prep shows, and community-awareness campaigns in local languages — helping listeners make practical, informed decisions every day.
4. Events & Ekijumeero
Our events — especially Ekijumeero — are community launches: festivals that bring music, local business, and cultural pride together while creating opportunities for performers and vendors.
5. Community engagement
Call-in shows, listener shout-outs, and partnerships with NGOs and local leaders make Radio Ankole a hub for civic discussion, feedback and action.
Why listen?
Trusted local voice. Our presenters are part of the community — they understand local needs, speak local languages fluently, and make news and music feel personal.
Accessible anytime. FM radio reaches where internet can’t — on farms, in taxis, at market stalls, and in homes. Our Listen Live feature on the website also serves listeners outside the broadcast area.
Useful and practical. If you’re a farmer, a parent, a student, or a small-business owner, our programming gives you timely information that helps you act — from market prices to health advice.
A platform for local talent. Musicians, performers and cultural groups find a stage on Radio Ankole — and events like Ekijumeero provide an even bigger audience.
Community-first approach. We prioritize content that strengthens local identity, supports development, and creates shared experiences.

Final word
Radio Ankole is more than a station — it’s a partner in community life. When you tune in, you’re joining a conversation that informs, entertains and uplifts the people of Western Uganda. Be part of the sound that binds us together.
