Eldoret is the capital of Uasin Gishu County and the commercial hub of Kenya's Rift Valley, serving a large agricultural hinterland and a rapidly growing urban population. The city is world-famous as the base for Kenya's elite long-distance running community: the nearby training camps of Iten, Kaptagat, and Kapsabet have produced more Olympic and World Championship medallists than almost any other location on earth. Radio stations broadcasting from Eldoret reflect the region's Kalenjin cultural majority alongside the multiethnic character of a fast-growing regional city. Agricultural programming — covering maize, wheat, and dairy farming in the Uasin Gishu plateau — is a staple alongside news, music in Kalenjin languages, and sports coverage with a strong athletics focus. Eldoret stations also serve Moi University, one of Kenya's largest public universities, with student-oriented programming. Stream Eldoret radio stations live on Radio.co.ke.
