Zodiak Broadcasting Station is a privately owned radio station in Malawi.[1] It was founded in 2005 by Gospel Kazako.[2] The station has more than 25 transmitting sites and reaches the whole of Malawi.[2] Nearly 60% of its programmes are broadcast in Chichewa, Malawi's main language, with few others being addressed in Chitumbuka.[2] One of its most popular shows is a talk show 'Tiuzeni Zoona'.[3]

Election coverage

[edit]

It became the official broadcaster of Presidential and Parliamentary elections in the 2009 elections due to its neutral coverage.[1]

Online

Zodiak offers live radio screening and an online website that is accessible worldwide.

Accolades

It has been the recipient of several MISA awards.[3] In 2019 Ruth Kulaisi won the Radio Talk Show Host of the Year at that year's MISA-Malawi media awards.[4]
