By: Nana Kwasi Roka
Accra, August 12, 2025 – The National Communications Authority (NCA) has suspended the operations of nine radio stations across the country for flouting broadcasting regulations.
The action follows the expiration of a 30-day grace period granted by President John Dramani Mahama to defaulting stations to correct violations of FM broadcasting laws. Despite the amnesty, six stations reportedly “failed, refused and neglected” to comply, leading to their suspension.
The affected stations are:
- Donplus Multimedia Limited – 105.9 FM (Ho)
- Dreams Ghana Media Limited – 104.9 FM (New Abirem)
- Jam Multimedia Limited – 101.3 FM (Kintampo)
- Jewel Group Limited – 102.7 FM (Duayaw Nkwanta)
- Kpandai Star Community Radio – 107.3 FM (Kpandai)
- Unique Gateway Communication Limited – 105.7 FM (Nkawkaw)
Additionally, three other stations – operated by Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited – were suspended for unauthorised use of Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) frequencies, unapproved transmitter locations and operating without a Certificate of Compliance. These are:
95.9 FM (Accra)
101.3 FM (Kumasi)
101.3 FM (Takoradi)
The NCA stated it will continue monitoring broadcasting activities to ensure compliance with authorisation conditions and the nation’s broadcasting laws.
