The National Communications Authority (NCA) has directed scores of FM broadcasting stations across the country to immediately suspend operations over what it describes as persistent and serious breaches of regulatory requirements.
They include Happy FM, Asaase Radi, and Wontumi FM, all based in Accra.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, June 12, the NCA said the enforcement action targets stations that have failed to comply with key provisions of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011 (L.I. 1991), specifically Regulations 54 and 56, as well as the terms and conditions attached to their broadcasting authorisations.
The crackdown follows a directive from the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, instructing the NCA to apply appropriate sanctions after a recent audit revealed widespread non-compliance within the FM broadcasting sector.
