RADIO & TV GUIDE

ACCRA is welcoming another private radio station onto its airwaves by the end of this month. The new station, City FM, will be the tenant on 97.3 Mhz, and it will be operating from the heart of the city at Adabraka, with English dominating its programme format.
City 97.3 FM, which will be the 16th station on the Frequency Modulation dial in the Accra/Tema Metropolis, comes at the time when the competition in the broadcast industry is getting keener with each station developing new programmes to stay in the competition.

According to Mr. Samuel Attah-Mensah who will be in charge of the station, City FM will emerge gradually to its rightful position in the industry in spite of the formidable competition in the industry.

On the reach of the station he said City FM would go as far as the National Communications Authority (NCA) will allow it.

Already some names in the industry have started making the rounds as those whose voices would be heard on City FM. These include Jimmy Quist, former host of Jimmy’s Jam on Joy FM (the last of which was broadcast last Friday); Paul Adom Otchere (formerly with Joy FM and now host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV); Odelia Ofori, formerly of Radio Universe; and Mac Diamond (a Sunny FM presenter). Other new presenters will complement them.

For Mr. Samuel Attah-Mensah this will be his third attempt at helping to set up a radio station having helped in the recruitment for Adom FM and Luv FM.
