OUR FUTURE MEDIA STORY

Namibia Future Media Holdings is home to well-known, award-winning Namibian radio stations Radiowave, Omulunga Radio, Fresh FM and Nova 1035. Our portfolio is completed by Future Media News – which is fast becoming one of Namibia’s most well-known news brands.

Future Media was established in 2019, with the aim to create a formidable media house that can offer new opportunities for growth and development.

The combined listenership of 600,000 listeners (translating to 40% of the Namibian population) enables us to connect brands to people, and Namibians to each other.

The Future Media values are integrity, excellence, innovation and adaptability and ‘nawa’. At Namibia Future Media Holdings we believe that ‘nawa’ is key to success in any business venture; a Namibian term that communicates wellness, togetherness and community.

The Future Media portfolio of radio stations, news brand and digital marketing is growing rapidly as the next generation of radio is born. We are committed to continually growing our audience by embracing innovation and ensuring we remain relevant by constantly connecting and engaging with our listenership.

Radiowave, Namibia’s leading commercial radio station, boasts renowned radio personalities and reaches approximately 100,000 listeners. As a multiple PMR Diamond Arrow award recipient, our engaging and current programming sets the standard for personality-driven radio in Namibia. Radiowave consistently connects with audiences globally through innovative campaigns and events, solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the local entertainment industry.

Omulunga Radio is Namibia’s premier commercial radio station with the largest listener base, reaching approximately 400,000 Oshiwambo listeners. The station’s Makalani tree logo represents the indigenous palm tree in Northern Namibia and the community-oriented Aawambo nation. Omulunga Radio serves as both a friendly companion to listeners and an effective marketing platform for local businesses. In August 2022, a new studio was launched in the north to enhance engagement with listeners and stakeholders in Oshana, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, and Omusati regions.

Fresh FM embodies the pulse of our thriving, educated, youthful nation, seeking progress, identity, and a promising future. Catering to an up-and-coming generation of leaders in business, politics, and society, our listeners possess the drive and disposable income to create their desired lifestyle. The meticulously curated playlist features the most popular R&B, Afro, and Urban AC tunes, emphasizing local and African artists, in a global context.

NOVA 103.5 features the top Pop and Rock hits from the past 40 years, presented by an experienced team delivering a curated mix of news, sports, and daily conversation in both English and Afrikaans. Boasting the country’s largest private transmitter network with over 23 transmitters, NOVA 103.5 has quickly garnered a significant audience in Namibia, and continues to grow rapidly as it caters to an older, more affluent audience.
