The name OMULUNGA is an Oshiwambo word for a Makalani or an indigenous Palm tree in the North of Namibia. The whole tree is of use to the people of the North - the roots, the bark, the stem, the leaves and best of all the fruit. Up to the 1st of February 2002, 56% of the Namibian population - the Owambo people - 1 008 000 people - only had one station to listen to. From the 1st of February, 2002 OMULUNGA RADIO took over. OMULUNGA RADIO serves as a Notice Board to the Owambo nation. Most families still live in the North but the husbands and sons are working all over Namibia. The local news is sent to these husbands and sons - and all the acquaintances in Namibia also take notice. The Owambo nation is very community orientated. That is why OMULUNGA RADIO is a welcome Friend to the Listener and at the same time an excellent Marketing Tool for the Business community. At the moment OMULUNGA RADIO is heard on 100.9 Fm Stereo in Windhoek, capital of Namibia, Okahandja and Rehoboth + on 102.3 Fm Stereo in the populous North (Oshakati, Ondangwa, Ongwediva, Oshikango & Ruacana) + on 105.5 Fm Stereo at the Coast (Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Henties Bay & Arandis) + 106.4 Fm Stereo in Lüderitz + 96.3 Fm Stereo in Oranjemund + 87.8 Fm Stereo in Otjiwarongo + 89.5 Fm Stereo in Tsumeb + 106 Fm Stereo in Keetmanshoop + 95 Fm Stereo in Mariental + 107.5 Fm Stereo in Gobabis + 99.2 Fm Stereo in Rundu + 92 Fm Stereo in Grootfontein + 106 Fm Stereo in Keetmanshoop + 95 Fm Stereo in Mariental + 107.5 in Gobabis and 99.2 Fm Stereo in Rundu. This gives us a potential to be the biggest listenership radio in Namibia. OMULUNGA RADIO plays music to the taste of the Owambo people aged between 16 and 49 in the LSM 5/6/7 group. Most of the talks are done in the Oshiwambo language. Our survey of calls to OMULUNGA RADIO's studios shows the following: Ages: 16 - 24 = 24%; 25 - 34 = 35%; 35 - 49 = 34% and 50+ = 7% with the male/female ratio about 50:50. OMULUNGA RADIO runs up to date Weather Reports and News Bulletins of local and international news.
