GhanaWeb Feature by Joycelyn Kyei Baffuor Radio has played an essential role in shaping communication and public discourse since its introduction to the Gold Coast in 1935.

Originally established as a colonial relay station for British broadcasts, it quickly evolved into a national platform, influencing governance, education, and social development.

The formation of the Gold Coast Broadcasting System in 1954, later renamed the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) after independence in 1957, marked the beginning of a new era where radio became central to national identity and public information.

Over time, Ghana's radio landscape expanded from a state-controlled medium to a more pluralized and diverse industry.
