It could be recalled that Uche Ogbuagu, otherwise known as Mr. Talkinson was last year licensed by the NBC to operate a full-fledged commercial Radio station in Imo state.

Today, and according to sources, the station known as, MyRadio FM, 100.9 in Owerri has started operations, thus ranking Uche Ogbuagu the first Nigerian artiste to own a radio station, alongside great artistes like Papa Wemba, Yousuf Ndour and Hugh Masakela, all who are African entertainers who have changed the rhythm from building joints, brothels to setting up Radio stations.
