Capital FM is a Kenyan urban music station started in September 1996. It was the second FM station to be opened after 101.9 Metro FM shortly after the liberalization of Kenyan airwaves. Since then a number of other FM stations have been started catering to all tastes, but 98.4 Capital FM continues to be a popular station especially among the middle and upper-class markets. They play a mixture of Hip-Hop, R&B, rock, techno and dance music as well as local artists. They have a show for local music called the East African Chart show, playing what's hot in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Caroline Mutoko, a popular Kenyan radio host, first worked at Capital FM.
