D-Black shocked as only 16 radio and TV stations pay music royalties

Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur D-Black has expressed shock that only 16 of more than 700 radio and television stations pay music royalties to the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO).” In a separate post, he called on industry stakeholders to unite and mount pressure on the government to enforce laws that would compel radio and television stations to comply with their music royalty obligations.

The organisation also identifies radio and television broadcasters as music users required to obtain licences for the use of music.
