I’m bringing new energy to late afternoon shows in the capital -Godfrey Ainoo
New host of Starr FM’s drive time show, Godfrey Ainoo, affectionately called the Champ has expressed his readiness to bring some new energy into late afternoon shows in the country.
According to him, though he appreciated the challenges ahead, he had what it took to introduce some fresh energy into the late afternoon space on radio.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator, Godfrey Ainoo revealed that, the Starr Drive was a tough challenge he had been waiting for in his radio career.
“There is no doubt, Starr FM is a huge platform, but when you are confident and know your capabilities, no platform will be too big for you, as a professional,” Godfrey added.
He further told the paper that “I’m bringing on board excitement. Radio should be fun to listen to. We need to motivate, entertain inform and educate our listeners on varied issues.”
According to Godfrey Ainoo, who was formerly with Takoradi based Radio Max, “The competition is great in Accra, but I don’t see myself competing with anyone. My focus is to make my listeners have a reason to listen to me and love the station.”
In a message to his listeners he said, “I appreciate the fact that they welcomed me warmly to the capital city, and I want to assure them that, late afternoon show in the capital city just got a new energy and more friendly.”
Godfrey Ainoo recently in a surprise move took over the Starr Drive Show after Excellent In Broadcasting, parted ways with Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD), who used to host the show with Cookie Tee.

The Kumasi metropolis was thrown into a state of frenzy last Saturday as thousands of fans flocked the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Concert that climaxed the 2025 Momo Fest.
Despite a heavy rainfall, the event, powered by MTN, drew unprecedented crowds for the month-long initiative to promote financial inclusion, the use of mobile money, and raise awareness on MoMo fraud prevention.
The musical event was preceded by educational roadshows, cashless market fairs, and community engagement activities across the country.
Vendors at the MoMo Cashless Market and Fair, set up within the stadium premises, offered goods and services payable exclusively through mobile money, giving patrons a live demonstration of MoMo’s utility.
The concert, headlined by multiple award-winning rapper Sarkodie, featured performances from several high-profile Ghanaian artistes including Medikal, Kofi Kinaata, Donzy, Kweku Smoke, and Efya.
But the appearance of Shatta Wale, who joined Sarkodie on stage, took the excitement a notch higher as it marked a rare public collaboration between the two top acts.
The event would go into the history books as one of the largest music gatherings in Kumasi and a fitting conclusion to a festival that sought to blend innovation with entertainment.
