The Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis has been a hub of producing competitive sports shows within the media space with Radio Silver, Skyy Power FM, Kyzz FM, Goodnews FM, Twincity Radio, Spice FM and others given top competition once upon a time.

But it seems the paradigm is shifting, as the drive time shows have taken the center stage as far as radio broadcasting is concerned – getting all the sponsorship advertisements compared to the other radio programmes including sports broadcasting which was leading the pack sometime back.
Henceforth, listeners in the metropolis will be more confused as to which drive time show to listen to as the competition becomes tougher and tougher this time around.
Unlike Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Sunyani where few presenters are leading the drive time battle on radio, when it comes to Sekondi/Takoradi, there is congestion as to who leads the battlefront.[ads3]
