24 Hours After Inferno, BCOS Radio Resumes Transmission

Less than twenty four hours after it was gutted by an inferno, the radio arm of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), Oluyole FM has resumed transmission.

The resumption of the radio arm of BCOS is a temporary arrangement initiated by the station’s engineering crew to manage the extensive damage caused by the inferno.

While inspecting the level of damage caused by the fire incident with the members of Management team, the Executive Chairman of the BCOS, Prince Dotun Oyelade regretted the serious damage done to three of the Corporation’s studios.

He cited three major reasons BCOS cannot afford to go off air.

The reasons, according to him, are airing of commercials, performance of social responsibility in publicizing government programs and to sustain the Corporation’s tradition of consistency over the past 47 years.
