PAECEFM (PROGRAMMES)
MORNING SHOW

KOKROKOO
Kokrokoo, in the local Akan parlance, is onomatopoeic for the cockcrow, and since it often occurs in the morning, it was chosen as the most appropriate name for our morning magazine programme. It therefore wakes listeners up and sees them through preparation for work, breakfast and drive towards work. It is a perfect blend of Ghanaian music and bits of information picked locally and internationally. The tit-bits, which spice the programme, are often very weird and funny news items, which are always presented in such a way to spark debate among listeners.

The programme, since it is a magazine, is highly segmented. Notable among such segments include: The sports segment, the weather report, the newspaper review and "Asem Yi Di Ka".

PEACE POWER SPORTS

The sports segment in the programme is code-named "Peace Power Sports". It features latest and hit sports information presented in the local Akan language by its presenter, Kofi Asare Brako. Charles Osei Asibey, who sometimes doubles as a Co-presenter, exclusively produces this segment.

Disciplines such as soccer, athletics, tennis and boxing are covered in this programme. The signature tune of the programme has no doubt endeared the hearts of many listeners that many rush to their radio sets to be entertained by whatever the programmes has to offer.

THE WEATHER REPORT

In line with the station's policy to keep the local populace of the Metropolis and its radius well informed, a live report is often run on a daily basis from the Meteorological Service. Although the programme is done in English the anchorman - the presenter of the Kokrokoo show - heavily translates it to Akan. The report helps listeners to prepare for any heavy rainfall or scorchy weather thereby saving them from much inconvenience.

THE NEWSPAPER REVIEW

Lead stories and other interesting ones from the print media are translated and reviewed for the benefit of the uneducated in the society. The stories are picked from dailies, bi-weeklies and weeklies on the local front and after a brief reading by the presenter of the show, thorough translation is done by great Twi translators like Sekyere Boateng, Kojo Dickson and Agya Birifa. The segment is scheduled to inform those who get very busy in the morning and those who may be driving towards work at that time.

ASEM YI DI KA

This segment has a name, which means that - this issue calls for discussion - literally. The segment puts up a topical social, economic or political issue and with the help of renowned resource person, it is discussed with much analysis. The phone lines are opened for callers to contribute to the discussions.

The executive producer of the entire programme is Fadda Dickson with production by Kwesi Acquah and Charles Osei Asibey.



WORKING TIME ON PEACE

The station has a vision to propagate Ghanaian music to listeners as a means of instilling in them a sense of Ghanaian culture. This programme therefore has been designed to go mid-tempo between the 10am and 12 noon. Finer Ghanaian music presented uninterrupted is used in soothing listeners, who may, at the time be working on their various jobs and ventures, and thus the name "Working Time On Peace". The presenters usually add taste by means of tit-bits on musicians whose music they feature on the programme and other bits of information that border on Ghanaian culture and interest. The tunes are often collected from the not far past, say the 1980s, to give listeners a feel of nostalgia as they go about their work. The more you listen to the programme, the more you want of it.
LUNCH ON PEACE

Around midday, it is believed that most listeners would be out on break, having lunch. Appetizing and slow tempo music is often desirable as the sun may be high around this time. Lunch On Peace therefore has been tailored for this purpose and it a two-hour programme that features contemporary Ghanaian Highlife tunes between noon and 2pm during weekdays. To go with it are tit-bits on food, ads on food joints and information on where to go during the week for pleasure. Advertisers find this slot most appropriate and several commercials are aired on it. Though efforts are made to reduce talking to the minimum on it, live presenter mentions (billboards) are imputed on it to help advertisers reach their cherished target. Lunch On Peace is one programme that provides listeners with good music, well-researched information and commercials to open windows in the market.

WO HAW NE SEN

Life without problems seems abnormal and boring. People certainly meet problem in their day-to-day endeavours, some of which requires the help of a specialist in solving. Those that become a thorn in the flesh because of the finances involved in getting help are often legal and health matters. "Wo Haw Ne Sen" literally means, "what is your problem", and as the name implies, it seeks to provide a free platform and resources for the solution of problems that might be bugging listeners. It is run between two 2pm and 4pm on Wednesday, and Afia Konadu hosts it. Resource persons include a seasoned legal practitioner to help answer question on legal matters, and an experienced medical officer who addresses the health problems. Listeners with mind-bugging problems write to the programme and others call live into it. The host, and the able resources help to solve these problems instantly or provide advice on steps to solicit solutions to the more complex ones.


Wo Ba Ada Anaa

One programme on PEACE FM has come to cause so much stir and renaissance in the broadcast industry, and has stood the test of time and criticisms. Until its inception, it was almost a taboo to tackle sex and its related issues on the radio, explicitly, especially in the local languages in Ghana. "Wo Ba Ada Anaa?" provides a platform where sex issues are treated much unambiguously adding just a little touch of euphemism to expose problems that affect various marriages. These problems are rarely mentioned, because of certain myths and taboos surrounding the subject. The name means: "Is your child asleep", thus implying that it is meant for the older generation or the married. It is just not a programme for kids. Why? Panelists including pastors, marriage counselors, social commentators, experienced couples and social workers talk about pertinent problems that derive from lovemaking, in Akan. The host, Sekyere Boateng a very experienced family man passes to be classified as very passionate when it comes to the presentation of this programme. With enough support from D.J. Hammond who comments freely on issues relating to sex without any fear or favour, you would love to listen to the programme. It is no surprising that most empirically, sour marriages have become blissful, because couples had been listening to this programme over some time. The airing time is 10.00pm and 12.00 midnight. When the phone line is opened, the contribution of listeners gets even more explicit, and adds a special taste to it.


CHECK W'ABRABO

In the political arena, in our daily lives and at certain points, people tend to be making some grievous mistakes. It ranges from corruption to careless driving and unauthorized hawking. Kofi Gyan, use to present the programme has recently made way for Agya Birifa.Check W'Abrabo identifies these mistakes and tackles them in a bit more tentative manner. As the name implies, whoever is identified as the culprit of such mistakes is advised to check the trend of their lifestyle and make amendments. On Tuesdays between 11am and 12am, tune in to PEACE FM and hear Agya Birifa lashing at, say, drivers and their mates who are charging unauthorized fares, or the utility companies for negligence. Listeners can also call into the programme to pass a comment on a pertinent issue or bring up another for discussion.


ADADAM

Ghanaian traditions, culture, proverbs, idioms and folklore are often preserved in traditional and old tunes of years gone by. Such tunes refresh the memory, bring back memories of olden days and carry rich messages in traditional wise sayings, providing advice on marriage, hard work, leadership and other life skills. They provide knowledge on ancestors. In a bid to live up its vision, the station has designed a programme code-named, Adadam, to provide such music, recorded years ago. Often the tunes are fine and cool in tempo, devoid of profanity and rather inform positively. If you want to have a feel of big band music, Yaa Amponsah, Sikyi and a host of such tunes, then Adadam on Saturday from 4pm - 6pm Even though the main presenter is Kojo Dickson occasionally other presenters include such songs in their programmes.

CLOSE UP

Youngsters need to be educated about marriage, love relationships and courtship, but where to get expert advice and help is often difficult to come by. Parents cannot help because they shy off the subject completely or they are handicapped. Those who need to be educated on sex and related issues therefore may include both the elderly and the youth. A programme that has been adapted for the purposes is "Close Up". It seeks to discuss love issues bearing on emotional and psychological undertones. The soft-spoken Priscilla Woode and the quixotic Issah Monnie add a touch of youthful reservation to their presentation as co-presenters, whiles they address the issues on board. The programme is certainly meant for people above 18 years of age, and experienced resource persons in the field, such as marriage counselors and gynecologists are invited to help divulge solutions for the pertinent problems on love issues. It is to be noted that this is the only discussion programme that is run in English on the station, and it comes on between 9.00pm and 10.00pm every Wednesday.

GOSPEL MUSIC: This programme takes place every dawn, from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., from Monday to Saturday and Sunday it takes place again from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Cool songs composed by Christian singers who use Biblical language are played with the intention of helping listener to start each day with their Maker. It takes place nine times in the week. Eric De-graft Aikins, Kwasi Aboagye and Nathaniel Arthur - all DJs of the Station - host it.
