The National Communications Authority (NCA) has suspended the operations of nine radio stations across Ghana for various regulatory breaches.
This was contained in a statement issued by the NCA on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.
According to the NCA, despite the amnesty granted through a directive by President John Dramani Mahama, the stations failed to rectify violations of broadcasting regulations.
“Six stations failed, refused and neglected to comply with the regulatory amnesty by taking no action,” the NCA stated.
The statement said while several non-compliant stations acted during the amnesty period to remedy breaches, three others failed to address certain violations.
The violations include the unauthorized use of Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) frequencies and the operation of unapproved transmitter locations.
It revealed that the affected stations were operating without a valid Certificate of Compliance, contrary to Regulation 54 of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011 (L.I. 1991).
“Consequently, the operations of the following stations have been suspended,” the statement added.
The affected stations are Donplus Multimedia Limited (Ho, 105.9), Dreams Ghana Media Limited (New Abirem, 104.9), Jam Multimedia Limited (Kintampo, 101.3), Jewel Group Limited (Duayaw Nkwanta, 102.7), Kandai Star Community Radio (Kpandai, 107.3), Unique Gateway Communication Limited, and three outlets of Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited — operating in Accra (95.9), Kumasi (101.3), and Takoradi (101.3).
“The NCA will continue to monitor the broadcasting space to ensure compliance with the relevant authorisation conditions and the laws and regulations,” the statement added.
