JEAN media was Established in 1998, by a well-known Radio broadcaster Mrs Sango Kipozi. In the year 2000 JEAN media began the process of applying for a community Radio registration which was originally meant to be based in Mkuranga district in the coastal region. We chose Mkuranga because we had already done a lot of projects there and felt that we understood their day-to-day issues very well. However, because of reasons beyond our control our request was not granted. Instead we were given the challenge to establish our community Radio In Mtwara in the Southern part of Tanzania. After 10 years of hard work and persistence we will now finally go on air on our first Radio Transmitting test this month. This will make MRS SANGO KIPOZI the very first woman in Tanzania to own a Community Radio Station(Stay tuned to see pictures of our construction site and the complete set up of our studio). Initially after attending the International workshops on the development and support for community and rural Radio in Africa in 1994/1996, Sango Kipozi as a freelance reporter for World Radio, then came up with a proposal to establish a Rural Community Radio in Dodoma the Capital of Tanzania. After recommendation by Tanzania Broadcasting commission,the now TCRA the proposal which wassent by Sango to the World bank produced no results. The reason being, no self communication with a donor agency was easy at that time. Had these efforts been successful, Sango would have been the 1st Person to have started the first Community Radio in the Country.

Jean vyombo vya habari ilianzishwa mwaka 1998, kwa maalumu Radio broadcaster Bi Sango Kipozi. Katika mwaka 2000 Jean vyombo vya habari kuanza mchakato wa kuomba usajili jamii Radio ambayo awali ilikuwa na maana ya kuwa na msingi katika wilaya ya Mkuranga mkoani Pwani. Sisi alichagua Mkuranga kwa sababu alikuwa tayari amefanya mengi ya miradi pale na waliona kwamba tunaweza kufahamu masuala yao siku hadi siku vizuri sana. Hata hivyo, kwa sababu ya sababu zaidi ya kudhibiti wetu kuomba yetu ilikuwa si given. Badala yake walipewa changamoto na kujenga jamii yetu Radio Katika Mtwara katika sehemu ya Kusini ya Tanzania. Baada ya miaka 10 ya kazi ngumu na kuendelea sisi sasa hatimaye kwenda kwenye hewa ya mtihani wetu wa kwanza Radio Transmitter mwezi huu. Hii kufanya Bi SANGO KIPOZI mwanamke wa kwanza katika Tanzania sana kumiliki Community Radio Station (mada kuona picha za ujenzi wa tovuti yetu na kuanzisha kamili ya studio yetu). Awali baada ya kuhudhuria semina ya kimataifa kuhusu maendeleo na msaada kwa jamii na Redio ya vijijini katika Afrika katika 1994/1996, Sango Kipozi kama ripoti ya kujitegemea kwa World Radio basi kuja na pendekezo la kuanzisha Jumuiya ya Redio Vijijini Dodoma mji mkuu wa Tanzania . Baada ya mapendekezo na Tume ya Utangazaji Tanzania, sasa TCRA pendekezo la kutumwa na Sango ya Dunia nyuma zinazozalishwa hakuna matokeo. Sababu ya kuwa, hakuna mawasiliano ya ubinafsi na chombo wafadhili ilikuwa rahisi. Alikuwa na juhudi hizo mafanikio makubwa Sango ingekuwa Utu 1 kuwa kuanza Radio Jamii katika nchi.
