Which languages are used in Kinshasa's radio and television broadcasts?

In Kinshasa, radio and television broadcasts are conducted in French—the official language of the Democratic Republic of the Congo—as well as in local languages.1

Among these local languages, Lingala plays a particularly prominent role. As the urban lingua franca of the capital, Lingala is widely used in popular culture, and broadcasts in the language have been spreading rapidly throughout the region. While the four national languages of the country—Lingala, Swahili, Tshiluba, and Kongo—are generally utilized in regional commerce and radio, Lingala remains the dominant vernacular for media and daily life in Kinshasa.123
