The National Communication Authority is seeking to clamp down on the influx of unregulated television stations on air which has led to the promotion of certain content which they believe may affect public order, public morality, and the rights and reputation of others.
“At about 2200hrs on 20/04/2021, a joint team of Police and National Security Intelligence Operatives, in collaboration with the National Communications Authority, stormed the premises of two satellite television stations, namely, Thunder TV and Ice1 TV, who were illegally transmitting without licenses, at Kasoa in the Central Region

The influx of unregulated television stations on air has led to the promotion of certain content which may affect public order, public morality, and the rights and reputation of others. As such, efforts are underway to rid the system of this canker and reduce overcrowding on Ghana’s airwaves.”
This move comes few weeks after some teens in Kasoa in the Central region killed a 10-year-old boy for money rituals. Reports indicate that the teens saw the adverts of money rituals on TV and got in touch with a Fetish Priest in the Volta Region to help them make money.
The teens are currently in Police Custody after they were denied bail on Tuesday by the Court to enable prosecutors to ascertain the correct ages of the teens.
