In a related development, the station has announced it will soon launch new programmes specifically designed to benefit its clients and partners.
In a final push to mark the end of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a collaborative effort between Media General’s subsidiary in Takoradi, Connect FM, West View Medical Center and Anaji Choice Mart on Saturday, October 25, 2025, saw hundreds of people being screened at a breast cancer screening and education campaign.

“Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Ghana and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, remember: breast health matters every month. Regular self-examinations are key.
“If you notice any unusual symptoms like lumps, nipple discharge, or changes in breast shape, don’t hesitate to visit your nearest healthcare facility for a check-up. Take charge of your breast health,” she added.

Some beneficiaries praised Connect FM for its longstanding dedication to the region.
“Everything went smoothly, and it’s clear that Connect FM excels at event management! I commend you for the support you’ve been giving to the community.
