In the local
region, the radio has the historical reputation of addressing the issues
concerning refugees. The total coverage area of Radio
Kwizera is about 700km sq though with some pockets of signal leakage
in betwen locations.
Radio Kwizera has one main station and
two other sub-stations. The main station in Ngara covers 300km sqs. The one
in Kibondo covers about 100 Km sqs, while that in Kasulu covers the
same lenght as the one at Ngara.
The level of the coverage area depends on the height of the mast
and the power of the transmitter. The transmitters for Ngara and Kasulu have the
same power, i.e. 2000WA (2KWA), and the one for Kibondo is 500WA. New modalities
are underway to increase the power of Ngara station so that more stations can be
covered.
