Ghana’s foremost youth and urban radio brand, Y107.9FM, has officially launched the 2026 edition of its flagship community entertainment event, Area Codes Jam, setting the stage for another exciting celebration of music, culture and entertainment this December.
The launch, which took place at the YFM studios at Legon City Mall, introduced the latest edition of the annual initiative, which takes entertainment beyond the airwaves and into communities, bringing people together through music, interactive experiences and activities that celebrate youth culture.
Area Codes Jam 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, December 5, at the Legon City Mall, with activities expected to bring together music lovers, young people, creatives, businesses and entertainment enthusiasts for an engaging experience.
Over the years, Area Codes Jam has provided a platform for YFM to connect directly with its audience while creating opportunities for emerging talents, brands and businesses to engage with communities through entertainment.
This year’s edition promises an exciting blend of music, entertainment and interactive experiences, while offering participating brands and vendors an opportunity to showcase their products and connect with a vibrant youth audience.
Speaking at the launch, Programmes Manager of Y107.9FM, Erskine Amoh Whyte (Rev. Erskine) said Area Codes Jam represents YFM’s commitment to building meaningful connections with its audience beyond traditional broadcasting.
“At YFM, our responsibility goes beyond providing great music and entertainment on radio. We are committed to creating experiences that bring people together, celebrate youth culture and strengthen our connection with the communities we serve. Area Codes Jam embodies this vision by taking the YFM experience directly to the people and creating a platform where music, entertainment, creativity and business opportunities intersect.”
“Through this initiative, we also want to provide opportunities for emerging talents, support businesses and create an environment where brands can meaningfully engage with young people. Each edition presents an opportunity to build on what we have achieved, and this year, we are looking forward to delivering an even more memorable experience. We invite everyone to join us on December 5 at Legon City Mall,” he said.
