The National Communications Authority (NCA) has suspended the operations of nine radio stations, including the Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited stations, for various infractions related to the violation of broadcasting laws and regulations.
This action follows the expiration of a 30-day grace period granted by President John Dramani Mahama, allowing defaulting stations to address their breaches.
Six stations failed to comply with the regulatory amnesty, leading to the suspension of their operations.
These include 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), and Unique Gateway Communication Limited (105.7 FM, Nkawkaw).
Additionally, three stations owned by Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited were suspended for unauthorized use of Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) frequencies and unapproved transmitter locations.
These stations operate on frequencies 95.9 FM (Accra), 101.3 FM (Kumasi), and 101.3 FM (Takoradi).
Their suspension is due to operating without a Certificate of Compliance, violating Regulation 54 of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011 (L.I. 1991), the NCA said in a statement issued on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.
The NCA has pledged to continue monitoring the broadcasting sector to ensure all stations adhere to authorization conditions and comply with Ghana’s broadcasting laws and regulations.
