Where technology is taking the world few people seems to understand. Now when someone is in USA and wants to listen to radio stations in Uganda can only pick a phone and start listening for free of charge.

Radio Simba FM (Uganda) has pioneered a new technology that enables people (Ugandans in US) to listen to Radio Simba FM using their mobile phones by dialing 712-432-2360.

Sections of Ugandans in USA who have dialed this number testify that it works and it’s clear. The service is for free day and night and it doesn’t require data connection.

The Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) has finally bowed down to public requests and criticism and switched on most of the radio stations it had switched off on January 8^th this year over non payment of transmission bills amounting to three billion Uganda shillings.

The radios UBC switched off included BBC radio, Radio France International, Suubi FM, Buddu Radio, Voice of Africa, Greater Africa Radio, Bilal FM, and Italian Embassy Security Communication system.

Other communication houses UBC switched off also included Itel, Tangerine, Citizen TV, and infocom. Sources in UBC have told our reporters that most of the affected stations like TOP radio, radio Buddu among others were allowed to operate because they paid their electricity bills and others have entered into agreements with UBC.

Acting managing director of UBC, Paul Kihika says that UBC doesn’t have any problem with radio stations that meet all necessary requirements.
