Wontumi Multimedia Suspended From Operating In 3 Regions

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has suspended the operations of nine (9) radio stations for various infractions.

According to a statement released by the Authority, the action follows the expiration of the 30-day grace period granted by the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, for defaulting stations to remedy the violation of the laws and regulations governing FM radio broadcasting in Ghana

Among the nine (9) radio stations, six (6) of them failed, refused and neglected to comply with the regulatory amnesty by taking no action.

Consequently, the operations of the following stations have been suspended.

No. Company/Media House Frequency Location
1 Donplus Multimedia Limited 105.9 Ho
2 Dreams Ghana Media Limited 104.9 New Abirem

4 Jewel Group Limited 102.7 Duayaw Nkwanta
5 Kpandai Star Community Radio 107.3 Kpandai
6 Unique Gateway Communication Limited 105.7 Nkawkaw

 

Whereas many of the violating stations took steps to remedy breaches during the amnesty period, three (3) stations failed to remedy some of the breaches, including unauthorised use of Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) frequencies and unapproved transmitter locations.

Consequently, the operations of the following stations have been suspended for operating without a Certificate of Compliance in violation of Regulation 54 of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011, L.I. 1991:

No. Company/Media House Frequency Location
1. Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited 95.9 Accra
