The Manager of Agooha FM, Onyameba Appiah Kubi, has revealed that managing a radio station in the Western North Region comes with significant financial challenges.
According to him, the region lacks major corporate institutions and large companies that can offer substantial advertising contracts to support the operations of radio stations.
He explained that running a radio station involves several financial responsibilities, including paying workers’ salaries, covering operational costs and meeting other administrative expenses, making the job of a station manager particularly challenging.
Mr Appiah Kubi made these remarks during the official launch of Agooha FM at Adwofua in the Bia West District of the Western North Region.
He emphasised the difficulties involved in sustaining a radio station in the region, particularly when opportunities for securing major advertising contracts are limited.
The launch of Agooha FM marks an important milestone for the station, bringing together traditional authorities, government representatives, media practitioners and other distinguished personalities to celebrate its official entry into the broadcasting landscape.
The event also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to appreciate the role of radio in promoting development, informing the public and giving communities a platform to express their concerns.
