Zodiak Broadcasting Station is a privately owned radio station in Malawi.[1][2]

History

[edit]

It was founded in 2005 by Gospel Kazako.[3] The station has more than 25 transmitting sites and reaches the whole of Malawi.[3] Nearly 60% of its programmes are broadcast in Chichewa, Malawi's main language, with few others being addressed in Chitumbuka.[3] One of its most popular shows is a talk show Tiuzeni Zoona.[4]

Election coverage

[edit]

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

Online

[edit]

Zodiak has an online website.

Accolades

[edit]

It has been the recipient of several MISA awards.[4] In 2019 Ruth Kulaisi won the Radio Talk Show Host of the Year at that year's MISA-Malawi media awards.[5]
