Chanco Community Radio is owned and run by Chancellor College, the main constituent college of the University of Malawi. The radio started broadcasting in on 6th July 2013 but was officially launched on 22nd July 2013 by the then Minister of Environment and Climate Change Management Hon. Halima Daudi, MP. and Mr. Asbjorn Edihammer, the Norwergian Ambassador to Malawi.
The radio station covers the Lake Chilwa basin and its surrounding areas, reaching Zomba, Machinga, Phalombe, Chiradzulu, Mangochi, and Mulanje districts.
The main objective of the station is to provide information on climate change adaptation, natural resource management, health, education, and other developmental programmes. This is in line with our vision, we provide capacity building for other community radios and train media students from Chancellor College and other colleges in broadcasting skills. In this regard, the station specifically provides opportunities for students from Chancellor College Department of Language and Communication Studies (LACS) to train in radio journalism. We also have a total of 11 radio listening clubs scattered across Zomba, Phalombe and Machinga Districts. These radio listening clubs were trained in programme production and content gathering and we continue to actively support their activities.
Over the years, Chanco Community Radio has partnered with different government agencies and non-governmental organisations in the implementation of different projects within the Lake Chilwa Basin. These organisations include Leadership for Environment and Development - South East Africa (LEAD-SEA), WorldFish, and Forestry Institute of Malawi (FRIM) through the Lake Chilwa Climate Change Adaptation Programme. Our success story cannot be complete without the mention of organisations with which we have worked in different capacities such as National AIDS Commission (NAC), USAID through SSDI, UNICEF, Save the Children, FMB, NBS Bank, Farm Radio Trust (FRT), Pakachere Institue of Health and Development Communication, JHPIEGO, and PACT Malawi, among many others.
