Moses Otieno is a writer and radio commentator covering Kenya's broadcast landscape for Radio.co.ke. Based in Western Kenya, he brings a regional perspective often missing from Nairobi-centric coverage, with particular depth in vernacular and community radio, media regulation, and sports broadcasting. His work draws on primary sourcing — cross-checking against official frequency registers and CA licensing records, and interviewing station staff and listeners — an approach shaped by his background in student journalism in Western Kenya.
On Radio.co.ke, Moses covers station profiles and industry analysis, from how the Communications Authority licenses community stations to why Kass FM became the defining voice of Kalenjin broadcasting. He also writes practical listener guides for regional and vernacular stations with little online presence — including Meru FM, Mayian FM, and Milele FM — and reports on the structural forces shaping the industry, from FM advertising economics to the pressures facing community broadcasters. Throughout, his focus stays on radio as public infrastructure — a medium through which Kenyan communities organise, argue, and define themselves.
