The National Media Commission (NMC) has issued a final warning to 12 stations for repeatedly broadcasting offensive content.
These include fake lottery, occultism, money doubling, money rituals and pornography.
The 12 stations are Asomafo TV, Adwenpa TV, Diamond TV, X TV, Funny TV, Big TV, Passion TV, Elephant TV, Best TV, Energy TV, Nkabom TV and Seekers TV.
In a press statement dated Monday, December 11, 2023, signed and issued by the Executive Secretary, George Sarpong, the NMC said "The following stations who were cited in our fortnight report continued to carry out their offensive broadcast after we publicly cautioned them. They should take note that this constitutes their final warning. Regulatory action may be taken against them without any further reference to them."
On the related case of Onua TV and Onua FM, the National Media Commission said it has filed a notice of suspension of authorization with NCA after the extended time expired without the stations apologising or withdrawing "their offensive content".
"They have subsequently filed a case in court claiming a right to carry the content the Commission finds offensive. The Commission will continue to update the public on the issue," it added.
The NMC expressed gratitude to the NCA for the positive collaboration in securing professionalism in broadcasting reaffirmed dedication to ensure free, pluralistic and responsible media in Ghana.
