It offers two radio stations, a national format radio station and Station 2 created in 1993 and transmitting on FM. Around 150 private radios stations exist, accessible on the FM band. The rural radio network has grown rapidly. Access to information in local languages has a considerable impact for the people in terms of quality of life and the implications for the management of local affairs affecting their communities.

The challenge is the economic return needed to sustain these media centers and the costs of technical maintenance services for radio stations themselves.
