Barely one month after its official launch on September 30, 2026, 93.5 AREA FM is already making its presence felt across Lagos, bringing a refreshing blend of entertainment, humour, music and everyday conversations to the airwaves.

Launched by Cardinal Broadcasting Limited, the broadcasting company behind City 105.1 FM, AREA FM entered the Lagos radio space with a clear mission: to create a station that speaks the language of the people, understands their experiences and captures the unique energy, attitude and culture of Lagos.

Nearly one month into its journey, that vision is becoming clearer. At the heart of the station’s growing appeal is its exciting lineup of presenters, led by veteran broadcaster and entertainer WestyBaba, whose chemistry with Tombo Belle and Varoni on The Early Momo Show has quickly become one of the station’s defining attractions.

Airing every weekday from 6 AM to 10 AM, The Early Momo Show delivers a lively mix of humour, trending conversations, music, listener interactions and spontaneous moments that reflect the realities of everyday life in Lagos.

One of the programme’s standout segments, AREA Parliament, has become a platform for discussing issues that directly affect ordinary Lagosians.

Beyond the morning programme, AREA Workchop, hosted by the energetic duo of Mario and Reero, brings another dimension of humour, creativity and entertainment to the station’s programming.

With their natural chemistry, witty exchanges and understanding of Lagos street culture, the duo delivers entertaining conversations and relatable experiences that keep the station’s personality vibrant throughout the day.

But it is not just the presenters and conversations making AREA FM stand out. The station’s music selection has also emerged as a defining part of its identity. AREA FM is developing a distinctive sound that combines familiar favourites, timeless Nigerian hits, contemporary Afrobeats and indigenous music that resonates with the diverse tastes and experiences of Lagos listeners.

According to Lagos News Hub, another encouraging development has been the level of audience participation. With new callers joining conversations daily, AREA FM is gradually building a community of listeners who are not merely tuning in for entertainment but are eager to contribute their opinions, share personal experiences and become part of the conversation.
That growing connection is also extending to digital platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), where the station is positioning its content around topical discussions, trending issues and conversations that resonate with Lagos residents.

For a station still in its first month, the early signs are phenomenal. The increasing participation of listeners, the distinctive personalities of its presenters and the growing conversations around its programming suggest that AREA FM is beginning to find its place in the competitive Lagos broadcasting landscape.

To think they’ve only just begun!
