How to Listen to Mayian FM (100.7 FM) — Frequencies, Live Stream & Shows

If you are Maasai at heart — wherever in the world you happen to be — Mayian FM is the sound of home. It is the Maa language on the airwaves, the news and conversations from Narok, Kajiado, and the wider Maasai lands, and the music that carries the spirit of the community. True to its name, Ewang'an olosho — the eye of the community — the station has grown into the leading Maasai radio station in Kenya.

This guide makes tuning in simple, and tells you a little more about the station along the way. Whether you are in Narok, out in Kajiado or Samburu, in the wider Rift Valley, or far away in another country, here is everything you need to know about how to listen to Mayian FM — the frequencies, listening online, the programming, and the story behind the voice.

What frequency is Mayian FM?

Mayian FM broadcasts on 100.7 FM from Narok, its home and main frequency, with a network of transmitters carrying the signal across southern Kenya and the wider Rift Valley. The only thing you need to know is which number to turn your dial to depending on where you are.

Here are the station's frequencies, organised by town and region:

A small but useful tip: frequencies can shift slightly when transmitters are upgraded, and some areas sit between transmitters. If the number for your area gives you static, gently scan a notch up or down — you will usually find a clean signal close by. And if you are travelling, remember the frequency changes from one region to the next, so it is worth keeping this page handy on your phone for the journey.

How to listen to Mayian FM on your radio

This is the simplest way, and for many listeners it is still the best one. You do not need data, you do not need airtime, and you do not need a smartphone. Here is all you have to do:

Turn on any FM radio — your car radio, a home stereo, a small handheld set, or even the radio built into many basic mobile phones. Set it to FM mode, then tune to the frequency for your area from the table above. If you are in Narok, that is 100.7 FM. In Kajiado, 100.6 FM. In Samburu, Laikipia, or Baringo, 100.5 FM. Once you land on the right number, you are home.

If your phone has a built-in FM radio, you will often need to plug in earphones first — the cable doubles up as the antenna and pulls in a much stronger, clearer signal. It is a small thing that makes a big difference.

How to listen to Mayian FM online

What happens when you are out of range of a transmitter, or you simply want crystal-clear sound without a single crackle? This is where online listening comes in, and it has carried Mayian FM far beyond the Maasai Mara.

To listen to Mayian FM online, all you need is a device that connects to the internet — a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, or a computer — and a stable connection. The same broadcast going out over the airwaves at home reaches you instantly, wherever you happen to be. A word of advice: streaming uses data, so if you are listening for long stretches, connect to Wi-Fi where you can. Audio is fairly light compared to video, but those long listening sessions do add up.

If you like having everything in one tidy place, a radio app is your friend. Several free apps carry Kenyan stations, and most let you save Mayian FM as a favourite so you can tap straight into it without searching each time. Many also keep playing in the background, so you can lock your screen, slip the phone into your pocket, and carry the station with you through the day.

For the diaspora — staying connected from afar

Here is something close to my heart. For the many Maasai living and working away from home, Mayian FM is far more than a radio station. It is a piece of home. It is the language you grew up speaking, the music of your people, the news from the lands you come from, and the familiar voices that make a faraway place feel a little less far away.

If that is you, listening online is your bridge. It does not matter whether you are in Nairobi, London, Boston, or Dubai — the moment the station comes through, the distance shrinks. You can catch the morning programming as you start your day, follow a conversation about home over the weekend, or simply let the music remind you of where you belong. No transmitter can reach that far, but the internet can. Take full advantage of it.

What you will hear on Mayian FM

Broadcasting in Maa, Mayian FM offers programming designed to inform, entertain, and bring the Maasai community together while giving a platform to voices that are too often unheard. The shows cover several threads:

News and current affairs — regional and national news delivered in the Maa language, keeping the community informed in the language they are most at home in.

Talk and community shows — interactive programmes that tackle the issues that matter most to listeners, from family and social life to development and the everyday concerns of the Maasai lands.

Land rights and civic education — a distinctive strength of the station, with programming that helps communities understand their rights and navigate the issues that affect their land and livelihoods.

Music — a celebration of indigenous Maasai music alongside popular Kenyan and African sounds throughout the day.

A little about the station you are tuning into

It helps to know the story behind the voice. Mayian FM is a Maa-language station under Mediamax Network Limited — the media group that also runs sister stations such as Kameme FM, Milele FM, Meru FM, and Emoo FM. Broadcasting from Narok at the heart of the Maasai Mara region, it was created to give the Maasai community a station of its own: one that would speak their language, play their music, and reflect their world back to them.

In the years since, Mayian FM has grown into the leading Maasai radio station in Kenya, built on a strong and loyal following across Narok, Kajiado, and the wider Rift Valley. Its identity is captured in its slogan, Ewang'an olosho — the eye of the community — a station that watches out for its people, informs them, and speaks on their behalf.

Beyond the music and the talk, Mayian FM plays a quiet but important role. By broadcasting in Maa and centring the community's heritage — and by tackling practical matters like land rights and civic education — it helps keep a language and a culture alive on the airwaves, while giving a voice to communities that are often underrepresented. Through online streaming, it also connects the Maasai at home with those scattered across the world.
