Excerpt:
By the late 80s, when Lagos could boast of several FM radio stations owned by both the public and private individuals and organizations, the north had no operators airing programs on the much clearer and stronger FM radio band. Not until Radio Kano II FM started test transmission on 89.3 in 1986.
By 1989 when the station was formally commissioned, it was the first FM station north of the country. Being a new thing and populated by veteran broadcasters like Suleiman Usman Hadejia, Brother Joe, Adeshina Sulaiman, Faika El-Rahi, Abdullah Tanko Bala and others, they injected wisdom and guidance into the greenhorns on the scene.
Young, talented male and female radio presenters such as Baba Ahmed Ibrahim (late), Tijjani Muhammad Musa, Andy Isabu, Suraj Muhammad Inusa, Big Brown King, Ene Onyilo, Maryam Zakari, Oji Onazi, Sani Usman Gambit (late), Iyene Ibanga, Ahmed Suleiman and Elsie Smart to name a few provided vibrancy, freshness and creativity to the take off.
While Disk Jockeys (Djs) in the likes of Nurudeen Hussein, Joshua Menasey, Olu Dynamite and many others were on board with party-time jams and mixes, which could often be the starter for any event that was scheduled to last way into the night in the old ancient city of Kano then.
Together, these radio presenters, on-air personalities and Djs collectively took Kano and environs by storm and charted the course of FM radio programming and presentation under the first ever Head of Programs of this innovative medium in the person Mustapha Zaharadeen.
