Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
The Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS) and Oluyole FM, have resumed transmission twentu-four hours after the Wednesday fire incident at the station.
Reports claim that the fire was triggered by a power surge caused by the sudden restoration of power by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC).
The management of the station said the affected areas included the studio, the make-up studio and the television studio, with equipment worth millions of naira destroyed.
Reports claim that the engineering staff of the station chose to resume operations of the radio arm of BCOS as a temporary solution in order to manage the significant damage caused on by the fire.
Executive Chairman of BCOS, Prince Dotun Oyelade, who spoke while inspecting the facilities on Thursday, lamented damage done to three of the corporation’s studios.
Oyelade, however, assured that efforts will be made to ensure a temporary semblance of normal transmission.
He stated, “The Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State was on Wednesday afternoon gutted by fire triggered by a power surge caused by the sudden restoration of electric power by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC).”
“The areas affected by the fire incident are the studio where the station’s dispute resolution program ‘So daa bee’ is recorded, the make-up studio and the television studio,” he added.
