Operating under the Sankofa Media Group, the station’s tagline is in Fante: “Yɛ nso yɛndze nyi”, which translates to “This is also ours.” This reflects its identity as a local yet globally conscious broadcaster.
Sankofa Radio delivers a blend of:
Social commentary
Music (local & contemporary)

The station also applications to bridge audiences in Ghana with those in the diaspora, offering both relevant local programming and internationally flavored content.
