Radio Tanzania: A Disappearing History On Tape | KERA News At the archives of
Radio Tanzania, more than 15,000 reel-to-reel tapes are stacked in
floor-to-ceiling shelves. Each band, musician and recording date is
painstakingly notated. The tapes reside inside three musty rooms of the
Tanzania Broadcasting Corp., which occupies the old brick-and-concrete BBC
building in Dar es Salaam.

Radio Tanzania was the country's only station from its birth in 1951 until the
mid-1990s, when competing stations came on the air and state-controlled radio
became irrelevant.
