THE Christ Miracle Church Mission (CMCM) in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, has received approval from the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to operate its new state-of-the-art radio station.
The commission said the radio was ready to commence transmission after expressing satisfaction with the facility.
The Zonal Director of the commission, Mr Raphael Akpan, stated this while leading a team of officials on an assessment tour of the radio station.
During the visit, the officials inspected the studio area, the transmitter, the inverter, the mast, the generator, and other important places.
After the tour, the Zonal Director spoke with reporters and expressed his pleasure at the church being granted a broadcast license to operate a radio station. He noted that this would enhance the church’s voice in the community.
The director also mentioned that the purpose of his visit was to ensure that proper procedures are followed and that the content broadcast adheres to current laws.
Akpan praised Prophet Peter Abiola Adebisi, the founder of the church, along with the church council for their initiative to establish the radio station.
“From our observation, we can say that the CMCM Champion broadcasting network 90.7FM is ready for transmission.
“It is our prayer that this radio station will go places,” he said.
The Zonal Director emphasized the importance of proper training for the personnel working at the radio station.
He encouraged them to familiarize themselves with relevant sections of the National Broadcasting Code to ensure they are well-informed.
It is vital for studio managers to engage in self-reflection regarding their adherence to the standards outlined in the Code.
“The operators in the studio should thoroughly understand the various sections of the NBC, which cover broadcasting standards, commercials, engineering, and more,” he stated.
Prophet Adebisi commended the NBC management for granting the church permission to operate the radio station.
He mentioned that the station would promote church programs and policies, share the CMCM story with the world, train members, who have a passion for broadcast journalism, and create employment opportunities for them, among other benefits.
Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer of the station, Adegbie Taiwo Jordan, assured that the operators would comply with all broadcasting regulations set by the regulatory agency.
