Katutura Community Radio
Katutura Community Radio (KCR) is a community radio station based in Katutura, Windhoek, Khomas Region, Namibia.
History and mission
KCR was launched in 1995, "with initial funding from a range of agencies, including UNESCO, which was instrumental in providing the transmitter equipment".
In February 2001, it lost its broadcasting license on the basis that it was not broadcasting and that it had failed to pay the licensing fees. It was back on the air after obtaining new sponsorship in September 2003.[4]
The station has been involved in setting up local comedy workshops with other local theater groups.[5]
