Full analysis
Overview
Radio.or.ke is an ad-supported directory of Kenyan radio stations that organizes stations by location and genre and links visitors to online streams. It presents free listening, station rankings, favorites, and related navigation, with advertising and third-party consent-management integrations supporting the service.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed: the site shows no detected phishing, brand-impersonation, credential-harvesting, or financial-solicitation indicators, and external reputation checks were clean. The homepage is content-rich and consistent with an informational radio-directory model rather than a transaction-led scheme. Technical testing did identify hidden forms in both evaluated runs and substantial external network activity, but no password-bearing external forms, login form, wallet activity, cloaking, clipboard manipulation, or drainer behavior was detected; in context, these signals are more consistent with advertising and consent-management functionality than with an abuse pattern. The available evidence therefore supports an apparently legitimate, low-risk media site, while not independently proving the real-world operator’s identity.
- The homepage lists Kenyan radio stations, genres, regions, streaming links, and “100% free” listening, with no financial solicitation or credential request.
- Behavioral testing recorded hidden forms in 2 runs, 12 external XHR requests, 9 external POST requests, 1 non-whitelisted external request, 0 password external forms, and 0 wallet-provider or wallet-drainer events.
- The domain was registered on 2013-01-23 and is approximately 13.55 years old; archival coverage records 432 snapshots from 2013-05-09 through 2026-07-15, spanning 14 years with a maximum observed gap of 1 year.
Regulatory Verification Notes
This is an informational media directory, not a site presenting itself as a broker, exchange, lender, or other regulated financial service. The homepage provides navigation to About, Help, Contact us, and station-submission functions, but the supplied material does not independently establish the legal entity operating the service or provide a licensing claim; this is a transparency item for ordinary due diligence, not evidence of impersonation or fraud. A separate broker-reputation dataset found no matching broker record, which is contextual support only and not a regulatory determination.
- The homepage describes an ad-supported radio-directory and streaming-link model with consent-management and advertising integrations.
- The site’s hosting resolves through AS13335, operated by CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by WE1 with DV validation and is valid until 2026-11-06T23:26:16+00:00.
- Domain registration identifies Lexregistration Limited as registrar, with expiration on 2027-01-23T09:24:17Z.
What to Verify Next
Before any credential or payment interaction, independently confirm the operator’s business identity through the site’s published contact and About channels, and assess whether the stated privacy, advertising-consent, and user-data practices are acceptable. If a specific station or stream redirects elsewhere, validate that destination separately rather than assuming that every linked service is operated by the directory. Any future commercial feature should be checked for clear merchant identity, applicable licensing, refund terms, and payment-protection arrangements.
- The homepage exposes About, Help, Contact us, and “Include your radio” pathways that can be used for identity and contact verification.
- The observed business model is advertising-supported and informational, with no sensitive form detected on the captured homepage.
- The site’s stated function is to aggregate and link to radio streams rather than to provide regulated financial products.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is high trust and low risk, and the available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website. The classification is strong enough to support ordinary browsing and streaming use, but the operator’s real-world identity remains unverified and should not be treated as independently proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare CDN/WAF protection provides a meaningful mitigation against direct exposure of the hosting environment, with all observed addresses belonging to Cloudflare edge infrastructure and no origin candidate identified. This supports infrastructure resilience and reduces direct-origin exposure, but it is a protective control rather than proof of legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary browsing and streaming are proportionate uses; before sharing credentials or making any payment, conduct the independent identity, policy, and payment-protection checks described above.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about radio.or.ke at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
