“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. (Dr) Ajibola Basiru, National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan, former Minister of Police Affairs; Alhaji Otunba Kazeem Odeyeyiwa, Otun Bobagunwa of Modakeke; Alhaji Tajudeen Eniafe Lawal, Chairman, Osun State APC; HRM Oba Abdul Rasheed Ayotunde Olabomi, Aragbiji of Iragbiji; Oba James Bolarinwa Alani Oladipupo (Idi-Asa I), Alayegun of Ode Omu; and Oba Joseph Olubiyi Toriola, Ogunsua of Modakeke.

Guests toured the state-of-the-art studios, gaining a first-hand look at the technology and vision driving the new station. The day’s proceedings reinforced King Media’s commitment to innovation, local culture, and community service.

With its promise to serve as a trusted companion to residents, King FM & TV aims to become a leading voice in Osun State and beyond.
