The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has instructed the National Communications Authority (NCA) to shut down seven radio stations across the country.
The affected stations are:
- Fire Group of Companies, Sunyani (90.1 MHz)
- I-Zar Consult Limited, Tamale (89.7 MHz)
- Abochannel Media Group, Adidome (105.7 MHz)
- Okyeame Radio Limited, Bibiani (99.7 MHz)
- Mumen Bono Foundation, Techiman (99.7 MHz)
- Osikani Community FM, Nkrankwanta (99.7 MHz)
According to a media advisory from the Ministry, the closures were due to the stations’ failure to obtain valid frequency authorizations, violating Section 2(4) of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775).
The Ministry also indicated that it is continuing its frequency authorization audit and will issue further directives as necessary.
