Description
East Africa Radio is a Dar es Salaam station and one of the broadcast brands in the IPP Media stable, sitting alongside East Africa Television, ITV, Radio One and Capital Radio. Its own site is refreshingly plain: a play button and a long column of frequencies, sixteen of them, which is really the story of the station. Those frequencies run the length of Tanzania, from Bukoba and Mwanza in the north west down to Mtwara in the far south, taking in Arusha, Moshi, Dodoma, Mbeya and Morogoro along the way. The stream itself is tagged simply as Various and carries no song titles at all, which is what you would expect from a live studio feed rather than an automated playlist. People stay a long while: its own server puts the average listening session at over five hours, with about a hundred on at once and a peak past five hundred.

Contact route
no station route found, but there is a presenter route. Its Drupal homepage carries only a player, an FM frequency list and a Network block linking sibling brands on other domains; /contact, /contact-us, /about, /?q=contact and /sitemap.xml all return 404, and I swept every node id from 1 to 75, finding just nine live pages (a frequency page, show pages and DJ profiles) and then grepped all of them for mailto, tel, WhatsApp, form markup and social links. The only human routes on its own domain are the personal Instagram and Twitter/X accounts of three named DJs, published as labelled fields on the station's own DJ profile pages. No station email, telephone, form, WhatsApp line or station social account exists anywhere on it.

Worth knowing
Its own frequency list crosses two borders: next to fourteen Tanzanian transmitters it holds Nairobi on 94.7 in Kenya and Kampala on 99.0 in Uganda, so a Dar es Salaam station carries its own dial positions in three countries.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| the parent media group's site, which the homepage Network block links to | it is a separate domain for the group and the station never presents it as a way to reach this station.

| an IPP Media group description | the homepage links IPP Media under Network, which is an affiliation and not a statement about transmission

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
