Oyetunji A Ojo has carefully listed the 72 licensed FM radio stations operating in Lagos state as of February 2025.
I am curious to know how they are all surviving in such a highly competitive market. How are the stations able to differentiate their content offerings to create a niche in the market to attract advertisers and listeners?
This is really a tough market to crack for new entrants. Some of the stations though may not be profit-oriented but serve as ‘political voice’ for the owners. Some are campus stations for students practices. Still, one has to be a miracle worker to survive in such a market especially with rising operating costs.
FM stations operating in Anambra state totalling over 30 are currently facing similar revenue and listenership pressures. New stations are opening shop daily, the latest being Udala 104.7FM based in Onitsha. How do they all cope?
