Hi peeps,I want to know what it takes financially and otherwise to open a radio station.thank you very much

Hi,

Setting-up a radio station in Nigeria especially in the happening states could be profitable.
However, getting the transmission license from NBC is the big thing. For instance, getting a broadcast license in states like Lagos and Abuja is almost impossible except with a strong political influence( not even your money will help). This is due to the fact that Lagos and Abuja's airwaves are already saturated which is almost leading to wave-war, nevertheless you can acquire express license in less developed and radio dominated states.

On the average you need about 200-300million naira to kick-start a standard radio station that can at least compete with other existing ones. Note, the more your investment the better your coverage,delivery and financial returns.

Setting up a radio station anywhere in the world requires working with experienced personnels. More so, qualitative human and mechanical resources are essential.

As a radio practitioner, I've over the years been involved in setting-up and managing major and minor radio stations in and around Nigeria.

Hope this info will assist your curiosity.
