Radio Cordac (Corporation Radiodiffusion d'Afrique Central) was a well-known Protestant missionary radio service directed to listeners throughout Central Africa. Bob and Esther Kellum, along with Burundian preachers, began communications with the government in February to get a franchise, which was granted in September of 1963. Transmissions were based in Bujumbura, Burundi. The station ran from around 1963 to 1977. In 1969, it was one of only two radio stations in the entire country, sending out broadcasts in French, English, Kirundi and Swahili. Radio Cordac went off the air in 1977 when the Burundi government decided to stop private radio stations and only allow government stations. The president at the time, decided no western missionaries could stay in the country.
