The offices of The Multimedia Group Ltd. buzzed with a special energy last week as Barbara Akuorkor Benisa, Ghana’s former High Commissioner to Malta, arrived bearing a custom-made cake and a heart full of gratitude. Her visit wasn’t a mere formality; it was a deeply personal expression of appreciation for Joy FM’s unwavering support over the past three decades. As Joy FM celebrated its 30th anniversary, Madam Benisa’s gesture highlighted the profound connections the station has forged with its community.
“Joy FM has been with me since 1997,” Madam Benisa explained, her voice filled with warmth. “You have supported me in countless ways, and I felt it wouldn’t be right to merely send a congratulatory message. I had to be here in person, and that is my style.” The cake, a creation from Bakeshop Classics, served as a delicious symbol of the decades of shared history and mutual support.
Mr. Ken Ansah, Chief Operating Officer of The Multimedia Group, received Madam Benisa with genuine appreciation. “We are grateful, not just for your visit, but for your thoughtfulness and this beautiful cake,” he responded. “It is the support, love, and dedication of individuals—big and small—that have shaped Joy FM into what it is today. Our essence is the impact you make, and without people like you, we wouldn’t be where we are.”
The visit underscored the importance the company places on nurturing strong relationships and partnerships. These connections, Mr. Ansah emphasized, are vital to sustaining the company’s relevance and fulfilling its purpose.
Among those present at the brief celebration were key figures who contribute daily to Joy FM’s success. Edem Knight-Tay, Programmes Manager of Joy FM, was there, alongside Kwaku Owusu Peprah, Channel Manager of Joy News. Winston Amoah, Head of Joy Business and co-host of the Super Morning Show, joined the gathering, as did Samuel Odame, Producer of the Super Morning Show. Isaac Yeboah, Snr Editor of Myjoyonline, Emefa Atiamoah-Eli, Head of Strategic Partnerships, and Nathaniel Attoh, Head of Thought Leadership at Joy Sports, further demonstrated the breadth of talent and dedication within the station.
The presence of such a diverse group highlighted the collaborative spirit that has propelled Joy FM forward for three decades. The Joy FM anniversary isn’t just a milestone; it’s a testament to the power of community and the enduring impact of quality journalism and broadcasting.
