Gospel Artiste, Yinka Ayefele Set to Float On-line Radio Station

Renowned gospel music artiste, Yinka Ayefele, on Wednesday in Ibadan said his radio station would soon begin full operation.

Speaking at the Ayefele Music House, the musician said the station, to be known as Fresh FM, was already on the internet.

Fresh FM is in full operation online. The frequency allocations for local operation are controlled by the NBC," he said. "Until our application for full local operation is approved by the NBC and the Presidency, we just have to make do with the internet radio. 

However, if our licence is granted today, I assure you that we are ready to begin full operations as we have met all conditions. 

My online station is self-sponsored and has the target of reaching out to Nigerians in the Diaspora by carrying them along and feeding them on what is happening back home,’’ he stated.

Ayefele added that the online station could be accessed on http://www.ayefelefreshfm.com/
