BREAKING: Edo Broadcasting Service Returns to the Airwaves
The Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS) is back on air after a nearly decade-long hiatus.
The Ihievbe station’s FM 98.3 has been revamped and is now broadcasting again.
This announcement was made by the Managing Director, Edo Broadcasting Service, Sulaiman Aledeh.
In his statement, Aledeh said “I am thrilled to announce that EBS is back on terrestrial! We did it! There were those who said it was impossible and that we would need to change nearly everything, but guess what? We proved them wrong!
Recall that for over a year, EBS has incurred significant losses due to the absence of our terrestrial channel, amounting to millions of naira.
Aledeh also noted that, “Many in my team hesitated to tackle the issue, but armed with my intuition and extensive knowledge of the craft,”I sought out an external team.”
“After three fruitful trips to Benin, we achieved our goal—EBS is once again broadcasting on Channel 45!
Aledeh also thanked the state Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo for having faith and believing in him and his team.
“Working directly with you on this project has been challenging because I know that failure is not an option for you, and your unwavering belief in our abilities has been both motivating and daunting.”
Aledeh thanked the people of Benin
“For those in Benin City, please do tune in and search for us on Channel 45. A heartfelt thank you to our in-house team, who worked tirelessly alongside my “secret weapons,” Engineer Evelyn Isikhumen and her young, dynamic team. Bravo to everyone involved”.
