FULL LIST: Media houses facing NCA shutdown
President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation to work with the National Communications Authority (NCA) to immediately restore the broadcast licenses of media houses affected by recent regulatory actions — including prominent outlets such as Asaase Radio and Wontumi FM.
The NCA had earlier suspended the operations of over 60 stations, citing multiple regulatory infractions and non-compliance with broadcasting laws. The move sparked widespread concerns over press freedom and allegations of political overreach.
Addressing Parliament on Thursday, June 12, Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Samuel Nartey George, announced that the affected stations have been granted a 30-day window to rectify the breaches.
“Our fight is not against free speech. It is against lawlessness, asset misappropriation, and regulatory defiance. I remain committed to reclaiming what rightfully belongs to the Ghanaian people and laying the foundation for a fair, modern, and technologically equipped broadcasting sector,” he stated.
