Liberian radio journalist and former Truth FM News Director, Marka B. Davis, has officially joined OK FM 99.5 as one of its News Editors, News Anchor, and Co-host of the Friday edition of the widely followed OK Morning Rush, alongside media personality Fatu Kamara.
Davis, who became a household name as Co-host of the Truth Breakfast Show, leaves behind nearly six years of impactful service at Truth FM. He joined the station in May 2018, starting as a reporter covering key national beats such as the Environment Protection Agency, Ministry of Information, National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL), and national elections from 2017 to 2023.
Before his time at Truth FM, Davis built his media credentials through stints at Radio Advent 93.7 as a volunteer producer and presenter in 2016, and Kool FM, where he served as reporter, news coordinator, and host of the political talk show The Heat from 2017 to 2018.
Reflecting on his decision to transition to OK FM, Davis said it followed deep personal reflection and family consultation.
“I left because I wanted to challenge myself again in a new environment,” he explained. “OK FM stands out in Liberia as a media house that is independent, credible, and not weighed down by political ownership. That gives me confidence.”
He described the station as a competitive and vibrant media space, where he is eager to bring his skills, energy, and journalistic integrity.
“I’ve come on board to contribute the same level of effort I’ve given to every institution I’ve worked with—and even more,” he added.
In his new role, Davis says listeners can expect the same ethical and professional reporting that has defined his career so far.
“I’ve worked hard over the years to remain independent and ethical. My fans and followers can expect even greater value in my broadcasts moving forward.”
Beyond his personal journey, Davis also spoke to the broader challenges facing Liberia’s media landscape, including low pay, delayed salaries, poor equipment, and limited training.
“The media in Liberia is suffering from brain drain,” he warned. “I believe the government should support media institutions with subsidies, just as it does for private schools and healthcare providers.”
