STARR 103.5FM, a subsidiary of EIB Network, on Monday renewed its pledge to uphold and defend Ghana’s democracy with responsible journalism.
The renewal of pledge was made on Monday during its fifth-anniversary launch at the forecourt of Meridian House.
Speaking at the launch, the CEO of EIB Network, Nathan Anokye-Adisi otherwise known as Bola Ray said Starr FM in its short existence has “competently contributed in moulding the media landscape in Ghana.”
That, he said had been possible through strong, visionary and diligent leadership, the creativity of staff, uprightness of content and loyal clients.
Year of grace
Quoting portions of the Bible, Anokye-Adisi declared: “It is the year of grace. Five represents grace, five is the number of grace and we have received grace upon grace. The fifth-year is our year of grace.”
He said when Starr FM started five years earlier many did not give it a chance to the extent that requests to play adverts for some of the big companies in the country free were turned down.
“It was very difficult,” he recounted “and we went down heartbroken but we persevered and kept pushing and knocked and two months…later many of the telcos and great churches signed up with us.
“This is a testimony that once you persevere, once you push, once you don’t give up you would move on…many didn’t give us the chance to move on, to go beyond a year but through the grace of God here we are.”
Gratitude to staff
Anokye-Adisi continued further by thanking the staff for their steadfastness and commitment in ensuring Starr FM continues to inform, entertain and educate Ghanaians.
“We couldn’t have done without you. Many joined us, many have left but here we are soldering on,” he said. “All we can say is that thank you for your dedication, for your hard work and you zeal this past five years. I must say with pride that input from every single one of you has been valuable for the growth and well-being of our great company.”
“We have earned the reputation as a trusted media house and to the glory of God I salute all of these and we want our reputation of excellence to spread globally.”
