“Today is my first visit to your studios, as it has been speculated all over that I owned this media firm, as you rightly said, it is just a coincidence because I have been enstooled as the Sompahene and the station also bears the name “sompa” so people perceived the thought that it is mine, I have no idea of whom the station owner is, I only know you (referring to Omanhene Adu Boakye) as the host of the morning show and nothing else”. He cleared his name.

The ownership of media conglomerate, Sompa FM, Sompa Tv and Sompa online has over the months been a subject of discussion, many people in diverse opinion asserted that the member of parliament for Suame Constituency, Hon Osei Kyei Mensa Bonsu owned the media firm, couple of names were also attached to the ownership.

On adekye abia with Omanhene Adu Boakye, the law maker cleared the air that he does not own the media firm, insisting he is not privy to the ownership of the Teraone Media, which operates Sompa Tv, Sompa 93.1 Fm in Kumasi, Sompaonline.com and Sompa 98.9 in Sunyani.

Meanwhile, management of the station has called on the general public to disregard the unfounded allegations in the public domain that the promising station belongs to any of the names mentioned especially Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu because the station is sited at Suame and has some political dimension.

The managing director of Teraone media, Mr Collins Amo Poku, has urged the public to focus on the good programs the station has brought on board in shaping the national discourse and promoting socio-economic development as with time, the true owners will be known.

EARLIER SAID.

Some discerning listeners of the newly opened Kumasi-based radio station, Sompa Fm (93.1) are very confused as to the real owners of the station.

The most popular names that have popped up among the audience include Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency and the majority leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu or business mogul, Nana Achamfour or owners of 2 pm express or Tabeaa herbal company.

The confusion and allegations came at the back of the shocking poaching of some renowned and seasonal journalists in the country to the station in the shortest period of time including, Political Talk Show host, Omanhene Yaw Adu Boakye, Sampson K Nyamekye, Emrantehene, Sometymer Oto Acheampong, Ante Naa, Kofi Appiah, and others.

Out of this list, Emrantehene aka Man88 has confirmed the news and Omanhene Yaw Adu Boakye has also confirmed his signing with the new station on his official Facebook page. The rest has either refused to comment or talk about it.

”Kyei Mensah Bonsu, One Achamfour, Tabeaa herbal company and owners of 2M express are not the owners of Sompa Fm as is alleged. Time will tell for you to know the true owners of the station but currently, our major focus is to build a solid brand. We assure the general public to expect something different and great from the good content the station is about bringing. We have quality program outlines for our discerning listeners and viewers on all our social media platforms. We are determined to serve our people well”.

Moreover, the management appreciate the huge audience and attention the station is getting from the public since it started operation in the garden city.

we entreat listeners and potential sponsors to channel the advertisement of their product to Sompa Fm (93.1), Sompa Tv and Sompaonline.com for better promotions and marketing moving forward, He said.
