2. I am glad to introduce to you our radio station whose particulars and profile are here under. We are soliciting
and requesting business from you in form of advertising.
We are so far the only radio station in Ibanda after transferring our radio equipment from Kamwenge, but we
still cover well Kamwenge and therefore we enjoy that local ownership of that particular area even when our
coverage is wide. This is important to note because most rural people now want to listen to radios closer to
them. Our uniqueness in the region is also explained below.
We cater for and emphasize Rufumbira and Lhukonzo because many other stations never use them as
mediums of communication. In addition to using these languages in different programmes and talk shows, the
Bafumbira and Bakonjo listeners have a daily programme called Amajambere specifically reserved for them.
See our programme line up for details.
We promise you reliability and proper handling of clients’ businesses.
Looking forward to doing business with you,
Thank you
Kyasiimire Betty
