The broadcasting sector in Osun State has taken a commendable step forward with the official launch of King FM & TV, a media platform promising to merge entertainment with authentic public service broadcasting.
The grand commissioning, held yesterday at the station’s headquarters in Idiogungun-Iragbiji, brought together political leaders, traditional rulers, and industry stakeholders.

“King FM & TV is dedicated to public service broadcasting, fostering authentic community dialogue, and ensuring that every voice in Osun State has a platform,” Amusan stated. “Our philosophy, ‘Your Voice. Your Vibe.’, reflects our mission to blend entertainment with political discourse while empowering local narratives.”
Acting Station Manager, Feranmi Alokan, noted the station’s innovative programming and its role in connecting communities.
“Our facilities are designed not just for broadcasting, but for engagement,” Alokan said. “We’ve built programming that speaks directly to the people—especially the youth—offering empowerment content and creating spaces for citizen participation.”
Delivering the Governor’s message, Dr Adubiaro commended King Media and Communications Ltd for investing in Osun State.
“The launch of King FM & TV is a testament to the power of private enterprise in complementing governmental efforts towards community development and information dissemination,” the Governor’s statement read. “This initiative will serve as a beacon of authentic dialogue and enlightenment for our citizens.”
The event drew notable figures, including Sen.
