Influence of Health File Lead City 89.1FM Programme on Healthy Living among Lead City Undergraduates

Abstract

The study investigated the influence of “health file” on Lead City 89.1 FM on healthy living among Lead City University undergraduates. Four (4) research questions were answered by the study. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of this study consisted 
of all undergraduate students of the Department of Mass Communication 
at Lead City University, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A self-designed 
structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data obtained were 
analysed using frequency distribution tables, simple percentages, and 
charts while One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the 
instrument. The finding of the study revealed that most of the 
undergraduates preferred personal hygiene programmes as well as health 
files on food and nutrition, endemic and epidemic communicable diseases 
like hepatitis, cholera, and dengue. The programme, health file, was found 
to be of great benefit to the student populace as it greatly influenced their 
healthy living. The study recommends that Lead City 89.1FM should 
promote its programme schedule on social media platforms accessible to 
the station and the general student populace. The study also recommends 
that Lead City 89.1FM should conduct audience research at the end of 
every programme quarter to know the kinds of health file programmes the 
audience would like to have in the programme schedule thereby 
producing acceptable programmes laden with educational and healthrelated subjects.
