Radio Mozambique (Portuguese: Rádio Moçambique) is the state-owned public broadcasting radio network of Mozambique. It was founded in 1975 and is controlled by the Ministry of Transport and Communication.[1]

As of 1996, Radio Mozambique operated 29 AM transmitters.[1] Due to Mozambique's colonial legacy, the network's broadcasts historically were in Portugese; however, as of 2000, the network broadcasted in English, French, and eighteen languages native to Africa, in addition to Portuguese.[2]

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Radio Mozambique provides "objective and fair news coverage and is considered the most reliable source of information in the country".[2]
