Sunshine FM Potiskum (104.5 MHz) is a radio station in Potiskum, Yobe State, Nigeria. It broadcasts news, entertainment, and educational programming in English, Hausa and other local languages.[1][2]
While the station was intended to launch in 2014, this was not possible due to a lack of funds; a non-governmental organisation, North-East Regional Initiative, paid for most construction costs.[1] When it did launch in 2018, it was on low power on 88.1 MHz with only a nine-bay antenna instead of the intended 12.[2] It was the second radio station built in Yobe State, with a station already on the air at Damaturu.[1]
