The Search for Common Ground Talking Drum Studio Liberia announces the completion of the construction of a community radio station and it subsequent turn over to the people of Grand Cape Mount County.
Search for Common Ground Liberia said the radio station was built in the town of Senje with the power transmission of 1000 watts.
This radio station was constructed at the request of the people of Grand Cape Mount County in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between their Board of Directors headed by Mrs. Maddaline Fahnbulleh and the Search for Common Ground some years ago, a release said.
She told the people of Cape Mount that the radio was built with support from the Rhode Island based Foundation for West Africa, the Canadian Government, Action Aid Liberia, the Cape Mount Community and the Search for Common Ground which implemented the radio construction project.
The radio is made of modern studio facilities, a state of the art antenna field and a good looking building.
The people of Grand Cape Mount have meanwhile declared the radio station as their most viable development initiative yet since the end of the Liberian civil war.

Meanwhile, the board has announced that the official opening ceremony for the radio station will coincide with President Sirleaf's next cabinet meeting which is expected to be held in Grand Cape Mount County next month.
