Rainbow Profile

   

Rainbow Radio, the premier licensed Ghanaian/African commercial radio in the UK, was conceived five years ago to provide voice for the voiceless, hope for the hopeless, knowledge for the ignorant, future for the youth and entertainment for all in an African context .

WHY RAINBOW

The name Rainbow, launched on the internet in June 2003,  was chosen for the station to represent the colourful diversity of Africa..  It was warmly welcomed by numerous admirers and some critics as usual however, as dynamic as the colours, Rainbow managed to sail through the storms till July 2005, when the final breakthrough came.
