As the world celebrates World Radio Day, it’s important to acknowledge the role that  a program like Campus Filla has played in shaping campus culture and student life. This global celebration highlights the power of radio in fostering communication, entertainment, and positive societal change: values that Campus Filla embodied on KNUST’s campus.

Every Sunday night at exactly 9 PM, the airwaves of Focus FM would come alive with excitement and thrilling campus gossip, "Fillaooo", "Filla".

For many KNUST students, Campus Filla was not just a radio show; it was an experience. After a long week of lectures, assignments, and stress, the three-hour program provided much-needed relief. It was the show that transformed Sunday nights into something students eagerly anticipated.

Whether it was exaggerated tales of campus drama, pranks, or hilarious student escapades, the show captured the very essence of what it meant to be a KNUST student. The call-ins, vox pops, panel discussions, and interactions between hosts and listeners made it even more engaging.

Some moments from Campus Filla are still talked about today. There were the hilarious exposés on campus happenings, the ridiculous but oddly relatable “student survival hacks,” and the spontaneous freestyle sessions that showcased both talent and pure comedy.

“Campus Filla had the highest engagement on Focus FM. We used 10 minutes to answer phone calls, but sometimes we ended up receiving calls until 1 AM because everyone wanted to talk. It was the most listened-to show on campus,” shared Yaro Christmas, a former panel member and show host.

“We used Campus Filla to change a lot of things on campus; it served as a platform to solve many challenges. I remember a time when there were potholes on Mecca Road, and after we spoke about it, they were fixed the next day,” he added.

The manager of Focus FM, Mr. Samuel Jantuah, provided insight into Campus Filla’s temporary suspension and its anticipated revival.

“What made the show special was its unique structure and authentic connection with the student community. It was more than just entertainment; it was a perfect blend of education, engagement, and empowerment,” he explained.

Mr. Jantuah revealed that the show was temporarily taken off the air to undergo a strategic revamp to enhance its content and impact. However, he reassured students and fans that Campus Filla is far from gone.

“There is still a demand for Campus Filla to return. The production team is eager to bring back the show in a bigger and better format. It is only a matter of time before Campus Filla returns to the airwaves,” he revealed.
