Live

Sunday Morning Live

Nakawa Online Radio

Everything included

A whole radio station, without the station.

No transmitter, no studio rack, no engineer on call. The parts that used to cost millions are a web page you already know how to use.

On air in two minutes

Create the station, upload a few songs, press start. No servers, no Icecast config, no waiting for anyone.

Radio and podcasts

One place for your live stream and your shows. Episodes publish to Apple Podcasts and Spotify with a proper RSS feed.

Pay with Mobile Money

MTN and Airtel, in shillings. No card, no bank, no forex. Approve the prompt on your phone and you are running.

Auto DJ that keeps going

Build playlists, set a schedule, and the station plays on through the night without anyone in the studio.

Already streaming somewhere?

Point us at your existing stream and carry it here - no re-uploading your library to move. If that source drops, your own playlists take over until it comes back.

Presenters and DJs

Give each presenter their own login to go live from home. Take the microphone back automatically when they finish.

Know your audience

Live listener counts, peak hours, most-played tracks. The numbers you need when a sponsor asks.

Your own address

Point yourstation.com at us, or take a short yourname.fms.ug. HTTPS is set up and renewed for you.

A free plan that stays free

Not a trial. The Starter plan has no expiry and no card, so you can prove the idea before you pay for it.

Built here

Made in Uganda, for stations like yours.

Most streaming platforms are built for somewhere else and priced in dollars, behind a card most Ugandans do not carry. This one starts from how broadcasting actually works here.

Illustrative examples of the situations FM Studio was designed for.

“We had the FM licence but nothing online. Now the diaspora listens to the same programmes on Sunday morning as everyone in Mbale.”

Station managerCommunity FM, Eastern Uganda

“The sermon is a podcast episode by the time people get home. Nobody on our team is technical and nobody needed to be.”

Media team leadChurch, Kampala

“Paying with MTN money was the thing. Every other platform wanted a card I do not have.”

“Auto DJ runs it overnight and the numbers in the morning tell us what people actually stayed for.”

Questions

The things people ask before they start.

No. On the Professional plan you can give us the address of the stream you already run and your FM Studio station will carry it, so you keep broadcasting exactly as you do now while your page, player and podcast feed are set up here. Nothing has to be re-uploaded. If that stream ever drops, your own playlists take over automatically and hand back the moment it returns, so your listeners hear music rather than silence.

A few minutes. Creating the station sets up your stream, your player and your public page automatically. Upload some music and press start, or connect your broadcasting software and talk. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure.

No. If you can upload a photo to Facebook you can run a station here. There are no servers to rent, no Icecast files to edit and no certificates to renew. If you do want the technical controls, they are there on the paid plans.

Yes, on the Professional plan. Point a domain you already own at us and we serve your station on it with HTTPS set up and renewed automatically. You can also buy a short yourname.fms.ug address instead.

Yes. MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money, priced in Ugandan shillings. You approve the payment prompt on your phone. No card and no bank account are needed at any point.

Yes, both from the same account. Upload episodes, schedule when they publish, and you get a standard RSS feed that Apple Podcasts, Spotify and every other app accepts.

Yes. Each presenter gets their own login and can go live from wherever they are. When they disconnect, Auto DJ picks the music back up on its own so you are never off air.

You move up a plan and nothing else changes — same station, same address, same listeners. Your current paid period is never charged twice, and you can move back down again.

Yes. Your audio, your listeners and your feed belong to you. Export your music at any time, and on Professional the platform branding comes off entirely.

Your station is a few minutes away.

Start on the free plan. No card, no expiry, and nothing to uninstall if you change your mind.
