HISTORY
This small radio station was an idea
meted by some few students, who were resident in Valco Hall
of the University of Cape Coast.
The whole concept
was actualized when one of the pioneers got hold of an FM
microphone and started sending signals within the Valco
Hall; then the excitement of establishing a real radio
station developed, and since 1997, with contributions from
the few students the station started gaining momentum and
gradually has become a recognized radio station in the Cape
Coast municipality and beyond. |
