📖 About

Capitalk 100.4 FM is a commercial talk radio station based in Harare, Zimbabwe, and is the country's first commercial talk radio station. Launched on 16 January 2017, it operates under a management arrangement between Zimpapers and Kingstones, who hold the broadcasting licence. The station focuses on conversations and programmes covering social issues, business, economics, current affairs, news, sport, health, and community matters, reflecting Zimbabwe's story from a Hararean perspective. It broadcasts terrestrially to over 4.2 million people within a 40km radius of Harare's Central Business District and is also available worldwide via online streaming. The station has made history by hosting the first live radio interview with a sitting Zimbabwean president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, where listeners could interact directly. Its programming includes flagship shows like 'The Start-Up Capital' (breakfast), 'The Capital Crunch' (mid-morning), and 'Capitalk Drive' (drive-time), featuring segments such as Business Focus, HR Perspectives, and Council Thursdays.
