The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRAN) has barred Eagle FM from broadcasting in Windhoek. The talk radio station, which celebrated one year on the air in 2020, was, according to CRAN, only licensed to broadcast in Okahandja. "Eagle FM is not authorised to provide broadcasting services in the geographical area of Windhoek and thus any broadcast in Windhoek continues a breach of the license conditions," reads a leaked letter from the chief executive officer (CEO) of CRAN. The regulator will deal with the matter as a compliance issue according to the letter. The authority has, however, indicated that that the radio station may apply for an FM broadcast frequency before 15 February. This application, once successful, will enable it to broadcast in the capital. The station may also apply to amend its Okahandja FM frequency to increase the power output, provided that such an amendment will not cause interference. Contacted for comment John Walenga, owner of Eagle FM gave a brief reply, saying, "we cannot be conclusive about anything" he said, referring the NBC to an online statement on their platforms. The radio station has announced that it is dealing with a "technical glitch".
