As Radio Maria Uganda celebrates 25 years, newly created Radio Maria Kabale sub station is mobilising funds to complete the debt that accumulated due to renting space at the UTL mast at kihumuro hill in Kabale municipality, totaling to 60m. After clearing this debt,Radio Maria Kabale sub station shall be able to migrate to its next constructed mast of 80metres high, which will help Christians in the entire diocese receive the radio signal. Currently Radio Maria Kabale is operating at 45metres high on the rented space of UTL mast.
Of recent Radio Maria Kabale substation has tried to improve on the broadcast whereby those with internet but cannot receive the signal of 100.8fm, can listen online by downloading the radio maria app, or accessing radio Maria Uganda Kabale by streaming live.
