Background of Adom FM, Ghana

Adom FM is a leading private radio station based in Accra, Ghana. It is owned and operated by Multimedia Group Limited, one of the country’s largest media conglomerates. Adom FM began broadcasting under its current name around 2001, after Multimedia Group acquired and rebranded a station previously known as Groove FM. The station broadcasts primarily in Akan (Twi) and English, targeting a wide demographic.

The name "Adom" means "grace" in Twi, reflecting the station’s mission to provide uplifting, informative, and entertaining content. As part of the Multimedia Group, Adom FM shares a platform with other prominent stations such as Joy FM, Hitz FM, and Asempa FM.

Adom FM offers a blend of news, talk shows, music, religious programming, and entertainment, catering to a broad audience that includes lower-middle to upper-income listeners. Its programming is especially known for its local language content, making it highly accessible and culturally relevant to the Ghanaian population.

The station enjoys a strong listenership and influence. In early 2017, it ranked second nationally in audience share at 9.5% and was the most listened-to station in the Central Region with a 16.7% share. In previous years, it also topped radio ratings in Accra, driven by popular shows such as the morning program “Dwaso Nsem”, which was then hosted by Captain Smart.

Adom FM is also known for organizing Adom Praiz, an annual gospel music concert that started in 2009. This event features both local and international gospel artists and has become a major highlight in Ghana's religious and entertainment calendar.
