About Nation FM
Nation FM is the radio arm of Nation Media Group (NMG), the East African media giant behind the Daily Nation newspaper and NTV. Broadcasting in English from Nation Centre on Kimathi Street in Nairobi, the station built its identity on a simple strength: the credibility of the Nation newsroom paired with an easy, contemporary sound.
The station began life as Easy FM, NMG's English music station long known for its rich diet of R&B and soul. It later rebranded as Nation FM, shifting the mix toward more talk, news and conversation about everyday Kenyan life while keeping a broad, cross-genre music playlist. The result is a station that sits comfortably between pure hit-music radio and heavy talk radio — informative without being dry, easy to listen to without being lightweight.
Backed by NMG's hourly news bulletins and current-affairs pedigree, Nation FM appeals to a diverse, English-speaking audience that wants quality music and to stay informed at the same time. Through Radio.co.ke you can stream that same live broadcast wherever you are.
