The National Communications Authority (NCA) has suspended the operations of nine (9) radio stations in Ghana for various infractions.
This follows the expiration of the 30-day grace period granted by the President to the defaulting stations to rectify violations of the laws and regulations governing FM radio broadcasting in Ghana.
In a press statement on August 12, 2025, the NCA said, Six (6) stations failed, refused, and neglected to comply with the regulatory amnesty by taking no action. Consequently, the operations of the following stations have been suspended.
The Authority had earlier ordered the shutdown of 62 radio stations for failing to comply with broadcasting regulations. Shortly after, President John Dramani Mahama granted a 30-day grace period to the affected stations to comply.
However, the NCA said Donplus Multimedia Limited (105.9 FM) in Ho, Dreams Ghana Media Limited (104.9 FM) in New Abirem, Jam Multimedia Limited (101.3 FM) in Kintampo, Jewel Group Limited (102.7 FM) in Duayaw Nkwanta, Kpandai Star Community Radio (107.3 FM) in Kpandai, and Unique Gateway Communication Limited (105.7 FM) in Nkawkaw failed to comply.

It further noted that while many of the violating stations took steps to address breaches during the amnesty period, three (3) stations failed to resolve certain violations, including the unauthorised use of Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) frequencies and unapproved transmitter locations.
Consequently, the operations of the following stations have been suspended for operating without a Certificate of Compliance, in violation of Regulation 54 of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011 (L.I. 1991):
1. Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited 95.9 Accra
2. Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited 101.3 Kumasi
3. Wontumi Multimedia Company Limited 101.3 Takoradi
“The NCA will continue to monitor the broadcasting space to ensure compliance with the relevant authorisation conditions and the laws and regulations governing the operation of broadcasting services in Ghana,” the statement said.
