Seven years ago, Uganda’s first 360° audio-visual radio was born — Next Radio. From the heart of the Next Media family, this bold idea set out to redefine what radio could be: visual, mobile, digital, and youth-driven.
On October 17th, Next Radio marked this milestone with an unforgettable party that brought together fans, partners, and presenters to celebrate seven years of rhythm, creativity, and connection. The celebration, hosted at The Villa, was a vibrant reflection of the station’s energy — great music, laughter, and a community that has grown stronger with every beat.
Over the years, Next Radio has evolved from an exciting experiment into a movement. It has connected audiences across Uganda and beyond through FM, Afromobile, and online streaming, becoming a platform where young voices thrive and authentic stories find their home. From unforgettable shows to iconic presenters, the journey has been one of innovation, resilience, and passion.
As we celebrate this milestone, we extend heartfelt gratitude to the millions of Ugandans who have tuned in, shared our stories, and made us part of their everyday lives. Your support fuels our drive to keep innovating and inspiring.
We also celebrate the incredible presenters and hosts who give life to the airwaves and the dedicated Transformers behind the scenes whose creativity, consistency, and teamwork have made this dream a reality.
Seven years later, Next Radio remains a symbol of what Ugandan media can be—bold, inclusive, and proudly homegrown.
Here’s to seven years of big hits and bigger dreams—and to the next chapter of informing to transform Uganda through the power of sound and sight.
