The President Nana Addo Dankwa Akkuffo Addo has directed the Communication Minister Ursula Owusu to suspend the implementation of the directives given to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation’s (GBC) Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT).
Prior to the directives of Ursula, Owusu GBC is one of the media houses that was asked to reduce their channels.
The president has asked that the stakeholders of GBC should be consulted before any further actions concerning the reduction of the media channels.
GBC is in charge of GTV LIFE, OBONU TV, GTV SPORTS+, GTV GOVERN, GBC NEWS and GTV.
They protested to Ursula’s orders because they said that reducing the channels will result in unemployment of a lot of the staffs, they said.
A press release they released shows that their reduction will not be implemented now as the president has asked the minister to hold on.
