The National Communications Authority (NCA) has suspended the operations of nine radio stations across the country for breaching broadcasting regulations.

The suspension follows the expiration of a 30-day grace period granted by President John Dramani Mahama for defaulting stations to address regulatory violations.

The grace period, part of a special amnesty, was intended to allow stations to correct infractions without penalty.

According to the NCA, six stations – Donplus Multimedia Limited (Ho), Dreams Ghana Media Limited (New Abirem), Jam Multimedia Limited (Kintampo), Jewel Group Limited (Duayaw Nkwanta), Kpandai Star Community Radio (Kpandai), and Unique Gateway Communication Limited (Nkawkaw) – failed to take any remedial action within the stipulated time and have therefore been suspended.

Additionally, three stations operated by Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited – in Accra (95.9 FM), Kumasi (101.3 FM), and Takoradi (101.3 FM) – were suspended for unauthorised use of Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) frequencies and unapproved transmitter locations.

These were found to violate Regulation 54 of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011 (L.I. 1991) due to operating without a valid Certificate of Compliance.

The NCA stressed that it will continue to monitor broadcasting activities to ensure full compliance with licensing conditions and Ghana’s broadcasting laws.

This development is expected to send a strong signal to broadcasters about the importance of adhering to regulatory requirements to maintain broadcasting authorisations in the country.
