...To focus strictly on entertainment
One of the leading radio stations in Lagos, Radio Continental 102.3fm has relaunched as MAX 102.3 fm on the same frequency. The relaunch was done at a glitzy ceremony held recently at the Federal Palace Hotel, Balmoral Convention Centre Victoria Island.
AgegePulse learnt that the relaunch was part of Continental Broadcasting Service's, CBS plan to refocus the company as a core entertainment station.
You recall that about 400 staff were recently sacked by Television Continental, TVC, a sister brand of the CBS. The development was to relief most of his core news and other fringe staff in order to diversify into majorly entertainment.
Also, there had been speculation that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) had withdrawn the licence of Radio Continental including comments by former Minister of Aviation and PDP member Femi Fani-Kayode suggesting that the Buhari-government is getting back at Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is believed to own the radio station as part of TVC Communications group which also includes the TVC, TVC News and Adaba fm Akure but yesterday's relaunching event would prove such negative speculation as unfounded.
Now MAX 102.3, the station will now focus more on Music and has added former Brila fm OAP Murphy Ijemba to its stable which includes the likes of Wale PowPowPow, Honeypot, Lady ‘O’ Mary, Debbie and Mark ‘DSoulja.
You can listen to and interact with the station via its website Max1023.fm
