KIBI is an acronym for “Keep It or Break It.” The concept was literally fashioned when the Keep It or Break It (KIBI) program with GreenPRAY at Radio UST 103.7FM Port Harcourt, since June 2015, gained remarkable credits. It was one of the founding programs at Radio UST that was outstanding and has thus far recorded unforgettable achievements.

KIBI PROGRAM

A frequency was licensed to Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST) by the Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) to commence campus broadcasting. People were then given opportunities to initiate programs. GreenPRAY came up with a program called KEEP IT OR BREAK IT which can be abbreviated to as KIBI.

The KIBI program with GreenPRAY whose root could be traced to Radio UST 103.7FM was initiated to raise hope for rookies or upcoming artistes. It is majorly sponsored by Greenery himself. It’s a program that takes place 2pm every Tuesday but later changed to 3pm due to some professional reasons.

The KIBI program as at then encourages songs from young acts and also exposes them to angel investors. So, popular music then could not be aired on this platform as it will deviate from the original purpose by which the KIBI program was designed for.

On the KIBI program, songs from new acts will be aired and listeners call to decide which of those songs should be kept on the UST Campus Playlist or broken on the show. The winner is then invited to the studio to get acquainted with our listeners. On the KIBI program, our listeners are the judges. So, we respect their decisions.

The UST Campus Playlist is a folder created in the studio to encourage consistent airplay for the winners of the KIBI program.  It’s a music gallery that contains our winning songs. Songs there can be aired at anytime by anyone.

The KIBI program commenced officially June 9, 2015 at Radio UST and since then has secured populous recognition within and outside the campus. Other entertainment outfits such as poet, producer, marketer, blogger/promoter, comedian/MC, presenter, publisher, dancer, manager, indie label, Artiste & Repertoire (A&R) also use the KIBI program as a platform to get recognised.
