“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.

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.
