About Metro FM

Metro Fm is Nigeria’s number one Adult Contemporary radio station since 2013 when it rebranded itself to include more of this compound genre to her mix of content.

Prior to 2013, Metro Fm which is Nigeria’s first FM station, had gone through several metamorphosis from its former RN2 ‘The Sunshine Station’ status, 97.6 dial and location at Old Martins Street on Lagos island to its current name, dial and location which is now Metro 97.7FM Ikoyi.

Metro FM has always naturally been an infotainment and lifestyle station with music as it’s back bone. As Nigeria’s number one Adult Contemporary station, Metro FM produces 70% of adult contemporary music and 30% of other varieties, her world music collection provides a link to her global audience and in turn exposes local audiences to global trends.

Our core focus audience is the 18 – 35 years age bracket, though as it stands today her audiences overshoots this demographic target by far even up to 60 and above.

Over the past four decades, Metro FM didn’t just weathered the storm and survived changing trends, she remains a beacon of broadcast standards and the people’s choice.

Notable personalities and media chiefs have also passed through the stations illustrious history either as former/current staff members or partners with the brand, some who’s history cannot be written without adding RN2 or Metro FM as their one time employer and former home
