FREEPORT, Grand Bahama - ZNS Network on Monday re-launched Power 104.5 FM and rebranded 810 AM, as a gospel station, at the Bahamas Government Complex, when Minister of National Security and Minister with responsibility for Broadcasting, the Hon. Dr. Bernard Nottage, was on hand to officially turn on the switch.
Minister Nottage said Monday marked a new day for the Corporation as the Northern Service becomes more responsive to the needs of the Northern Bahamas. Innovations are underway as the Corporation carries out its mission to inform, educate and entertain the people of The Bahamas.
Plans for Power 104.5 FM Station have been on the horizon for the Northern Service for some time now. In 2006, he said, the staff held a number of fund- raisers to purchase the transmitter. Now in mid-2015, it is being used to launch Power 104.5, having been utilized for only 810 AM in previous years.
"This re-launch, today, of 104.5 FM did not come about by happenstance. It is the result of strategic planning and decision-making on the part of the Corporation's management team. It is the result of a decisive and proactive approach being taken to provide broadcasting services so as to allow the Corporation to capitalize on any surge in the economy of Freeport and the Northern Bahamas," Dr. Nottage said.
The aim of the re-launched 104.5 FM is to capture a younger audience playing a wide variety of music. Radio 810 AM will gradually be phased into a gospel station, taking into account the growing community and will also reach residents in East Grand Bahama and Abaco.
