Nigerian leading media conglomerate FemyWalsh Limited is set to launch its flagship FM terrestrial radio station. This adds yet another media asset to the FemyWalsh group, which already comprises SOUQ News TV, Walsh Radio Online, Terminal Seven Audio-Visual Studio and Walsh Photography.
The company CEO, Victor Walsh Oluwafemi and Vice President, Dr. Idahosa Osamhanze were presented with the operational license by Charles Ebuebu, at the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) in Abuja.
This move marks a significant expansion in FemyWalsh’s media footprint and paves the way for broader audience engagement and impact. With the addition of this new license, FemyWalsh is poised to reach even more viewers and listeners across Nigeria. The company’s commitment to delivering high-quality content and innovative programming remains unwavering.
According to company CEO Victor Walsh Oluwafemi, acquiring the terrestrial FM radio license underscores the group’s ambition of being the largest and most impactful media network across Nigeria, as well as the African region.
“Getting into terrestrial radio space and securing the operational license represents a pivotal moment for the FemyWalsh group as we continue to evolve and innovate in the media landscape. Radio has long been a powerful medium for reaching diverse audiences, and we are thrilled to leverage this platform to amplify further our mission of empowering SMEs and driving economic growth in Nigeria,” Oluwafemi said.
Vice President, Dr. Osamhanze said the achievement is a dream come true, and a representation of the company’s dedication to the long-term development of the Nigerian media space.
“With this new initiative, FemyWalsh Limited is poised to make a significant contribution to the future of Nigerian media. We are thrilled for the opportunity to foster a thriving media landscape for years to come,” he said.
FemyWalsh Limited is the owner of SOUQ News TV, a digital satellite channel licensed for broadcast in Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. The radio license acquisition comes at a time when SOUQ News TV is experiencing rapid development and expansion, building on its established reputation for excellence in journalism and commitment to serving its viewers.
