Kericho County in Kenya's South Rift Valley is the heart of the country's tea industry — the rolling green hills around Kericho town are carpeted with tea estates that have made Kenya one of the world's top tea exporters. The county is primarily home to Kipsigis Kalenjin communities alongside significant populations of Luo, Kikuyu, and Kisii workers connected to the tea sector. Radio stations broadcasting for Kericho audiences carry Kipsigis-language programming, agricultural content relevant to tea sector workers and smallholder farmers, county government news, and music in Kalenjin and national genres. The tea companies that dominate Kericho's economy are also significant advertisers on local radio, financing programming that reaches their workforce communities. Kericho town serves as a regional commercial centre for the South Rift, and local stations carry market information relevant to trade across the wider region.
