BRIEF HISTORY

Diamond FM is the first privately owned radio station to open in the Northern Region of Ghana. Established by Makemba Broadcasting Company, Diamond FM a commercial radio station aims at becoming the reference point for information in the north. Its flagship is news, which is promptly delivered, reliable and trustworthy.

The station broadcasts for 21 hours on 93.7 FM from 0100 hours to 0400 hours in English, Akan and Dagbani.

The arrival of Diamond FM last October 2002 has changed the listening taste of the Municipality with lively music, news and newspaper reviews, sports, interesting programmes targeting the youth and women and of course political and current affairs discussions.

COVERAGE

Diamond FM has a reach of 60 miles radius and with the arrival of our new and more powerful machines our reach will now be extended considerably. We currently reach seven of the thirteen districts of the region.

They are Yendi, Gushegu-Karaga, Savelugu-Nanton, parts of West and East Gonja and West Mamprusi districts and the Tamale Municipality.

CLIENTEL

Many international organisations and NGO’s, which have shown keen interest in our operations and doing business with the station include UNICEF, IBIS, German Overseas Service, MEDIA Foundation for West Africa, Catholic Relief Services and the Christian Council.

LISTERNERSHIP

Diamond FM has become undoubtedly the most popular station in Northern Ghana even though we are yet to celebrate our first anniversary. The quality of our equipment and the programmes has made the station the preferred choice for both young and old. A recent survey in Tamale shows that about eighty percent of the people in the Municipality listen to Diamond. Management is poised to make training of its staff a priority so as to make the station glitter in the dark clouds that currently hang over the north.

The station has well trained and qualified personnel in the various departments within the station who are more than willing to serve you. Our trained staff will help you identify areas in which your organisation can best be advertised and at the same time advise on ways in minimising costs at achieving this.
