About Us

MMU Radio is an establishment of Mountains of the Moon University, established in the context of the VLIRUOS- IUC Program. The Radio project is aimed at giving substantial support to MMU through supporting training, research and community outreach. We are a university-based community radio station, which is unique and rare.   It is considered a special privilege and provides an experience that only a very small percentage of university students and lecturers ever receive

as the students use it to gain real radio broadcasting experience and the lecturers use it to engage with the communities outside the university. We at MMU Radio 105.2 FM are honored, proud and privileged to be one of the unique universities in the world that has a community radio station that serves the communities beyond the university boarders through live broadcasting and streaming online.
