57 radio stations face frequency suspension over regulatory violations – Sam George

The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced that 57 radio stations risk having their frequencies suspended due to regulatory breaches.

According to the Minister, the suspension was not a punitive measure but an opportunity for affected stations to rectify their infractions and comply with broadcasting regulations before resuming operations.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, March 24, Samuel Nartey George revealed that three of the six radio stations recently suspended had met the necessary requirements for frequency restoration.

“We cannot have a situation where media houses flout regulations and claim that press freedom exempts them from meeting licensing conditions,” he stated.

He emphasized that stations affected in the first phase had been given a chance to correct their anomalies.
