Zambia Radio Stations

Zambian radio is led by state broadcaster ZNBC, whose channels broadcast in English and the seven main national languages including Bemba and Nyanja. Private and community stations multiplied after liberalization, with religious broadcasters and Lusaka music stations prominent. Zed-pop and dancehall-influenced hits dominate youth playlists, kalindula guitar bands supply the classic sound, and phone-in shows on politics and football draw passionate participation.
