The Voice of
Shinyanga's Youth

Our Story
Born in Shinyanga,
heard across Tanzania
Jambo FM hit the airwaves in 2015 with a simple mission: give the youth of Shinyanga a voice. What started as a single transmitter on 92.7 FM has grown into the Lake Zone's most influential media platform.
We play what the streets are listening to - Bongo Flava, Afro Beats, Hip-Hop, and R&B - but we also deliver the news that matters. From local government updates to national breaking stories, our newsroom works around the clock to keep our audience informed.
Today, Jambo FM broadcasts across 11 frequencies reaching over 5 million weekly listeners. We are the trusted source for news, the soundtrack to daily life, and the platform where Tanzania's next generation finds its voice.
