Absolute Radio: Tale of How Radio Revived a Dying City

Private radio in Ghana is a little over a quarter of a century old. The first license for commercial radio was issued in 1995 paving the way for what is today, a booming private radio scene. In 1997, a young entrepreneur set up Skyy Power FM, the first commercial radio station in the Western regional city of Takoradi, which had been deemed unprofitable by industry leaders. The station revived the once dormant city and has created thousands of jobs in its 25 years of operation. Our guest, Phillip Nyakpo was among the first group of young talents employed at the station. He chronicles the history of the station, Skyy Power FM and the impact it's had on the city of Takoradi in his book, Absolute Radio: The Inspiring True Story of the First Private Radio in Ghana's Western Region. Phillip talks to us about this incredible African story about entrepreneurship and the future of journalism in Africa. And, Madagascar's president fires his foreign minister for voting in favor of a United Nations resolution condemning Russian's recently held referendums to annex four regions in Ukraine.
