| Kasha FM 99.5 Damongo has added another remarkable achievement to its growing list of accomplishments after being honoured as the Tourism-Oriented Media of the Year at the 2026 Savannah Regional Tourism Awards. |
The prestigious awards ceremony was held on Friday, September 11, 2026, at Wuripe and Sons Royal Lodge in Bole, under the theme “Celebrating Excellence Beyond Borders – The Blackstar Experience.”
The award represents a significant recognition of Kasha FM's contribution to promoting tourism, culture, heritage and community development across the Savannah Region.
For years, Kasha FM has used its platform to give visibility to the people, culture, traditions and attractions of the Savannah Region.
Through its news bulletins, interviews, discussions and community-focused programmes, the station has consistently created opportunities for important conversations about the region's tourism potential.
From the rich cultural heritage of the Gonja Kingdom to the numerous historical sites, traditional festivals, natural attractions and community tourism opportunities scattered across Savannah, Kasha FM has played an important role in bringing these stories to the public.
The Tourism-Oriented Media of the Year award therefore goes beyond a trophy. It is recognition of the station's commitment to telling the Savannah story and promoting the region to audiences within Ghana and beyond.
One of Kasha FM's greatest strengths has been its ability to connect with the communities it serves.
The station has consistently provided a platform for traditional authorities, tourism stakeholders, community leaders, young people, entrepreneurs and development advocates to share their ideas and promote initiatives capable of transforming the region.
Its coverage of local events and community activities has also helped draw attention to places and experiences that deserve greater recognition.
In an era where tourism is increasingly driven by storytelling and visibility, the role of local media cannot be underestimated.
Kasha FM has demonstrated that a community radio station can become an important ambassador for its region.
The award is not only a victory for Kasha FM but also a proud moment for Damongo and the Savannah Region.
At a time when stakeholders are working to position Savannah as a major tourism destination, the recognition of a local media organisation for its contribution to tourism promotion sends a powerful message.
It demonstrates that promoting tourism is not the responsibility of the Ghana Tourism Authority and tourism operators alone. The media is an equally important partner in telling the stories that attract visitors and build pride among local communities.
The Tourism-Oriented Media of the Year award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Kasha FM family — management, presenters, journalists, producers, technical staff, contributors and, importantly, its loyal listeners.
The station has shown that when local media takes ownership of the stories of its people, it can help transform those stories into opportunities.
Congratulations to Kasha FM 99.5 Damongo on this well-deserved achievement.
