MyNewsGh has gathered that a recurring power surge led to the fire outbreak at the studios of Kumasi-based Pure FM, which reduced the equipment to ashes.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the various phases from the national grid connected to the station kept going on and off, and in the process, triggered a spark through one of the air conditioners in the studios, resulting in the fire.
The station, considered one of the mouthpieces of the Ashanti Region, has since been off air, and there is no indication of when transmission will resume.
It would be recalled that the station was gutted by fire on Wednesday, July 23, 2024 while transmitting live from its base at Patase, a suburb of Kumasi.
