About fifteen television stations have received a warning from the National Media Commission (NMC) telling them to stop airing any content that isn’t considered appropriate.

The NMC issued a warning, stating that failure to heed their own advice will have dire consequences.

The public filed complaints against these TV stations for airing content that was deemed inappropriate by Ghanaian culture, customs, and standards as well as media ethics.

X TV, Asomafo TV, Adwenpa TV, Eagle TV, Best TV, Energy TV, Diamond TV, Funny TV, Advice TV, Big TV, Passion TV, Nkabom TV, Seekers TV, and Elephant TV are some of these TV stations.

“For the stations listed above, we hereby serve them notice to cease and desist from those activities otherwise there will be severe consequences,” the NMC stated in a statement released on Thursday.

The Commission stated that in order to find and fix deficiencies in broadcast content, it worked with the National Communications Authority (NCA) to produce the report.

It showed that 318 incidents in all had been reported by members of the public. The commission stated that of the incidents that were reported, 224 involved money-doubling; 83 involved money rituals; 24 involved fictitious lotteries; 18 involved occult practices; and 13 involved pornography.

The remaining complaints concerned individuals attempting to defraud others of their money and false loan schemes.

According to the NMC, the public will be briefed shortly on its decision regarding the TV stations mentioned above.
