BKB shared the news on his verified X account on July 25, with the announcement attracting nearly 95,000 views within hours. He also disclosed that his new sports programme, Sports Centre, will premiere on August 31.
The broadcaster disclosed that his long-time associate, Oliver Khan, whom he described as his "boss and billionaire The Ship Dealer", will feature on the show every Friday, with more members of the team expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
Why BKB left Pure FM
BKB explained that his departure was carefully considered rather than rushed.
According to the broadcaster, he and his team spent months weighing their options while keeping the interests of their listeners and viewers at the centre of every discussion.
He disclosed that two major factors influenced the decision: the expiration of his contract and the change in ownership at Pure FM.
Before his stint at Pure FM, Chairmo worked with Angel FM and Nhyira FM, establishing himself as one of Ghana's most influential sports broadcasters through his fearless analysis and engaging presentation style.

Fans quickly welcomed the news on social media.
