Barely a year after Radio 47 joined the league of Big Five radio stations in Kenya, the management is planning a major overhaul that will give the station a facelift.
The management, according to inside sources, is planning to unveil new studios during the second anniversary celebrations.
Launched into the Kenyan airwaves two years ago, the station has grown to become a household name in the media industry, controlling at least 5.8 per cent of the market share, according to a recent study by Ipsos Synovate. The station ranks fifth in terms of market share, behind Citizen Radio (20.8 per cent), Kameme FM (7.5 per cent), Radio Jambo (7.2 per cent) and Ramogi FM (6.7 per cent).
In terms of reach, the station also ranks among the top five with 2.5 per cent behind Radio Citizen (10.4 per cent), Radio Jambo (4.3 per cent), Radio Maisha (2.7 per cent) and Kameme FM (2.7 per cent).
Considering the statistics, the Cape Media-owned station could be termed as one of the fastest radio stations in the country.
The radio station have overtaken other big names in the radio industry including Milele FM, Classic, Hope FM, Kiss 100, Capital FM and Gheto Radio.
