NMC Threatens to Shut Down 44 TV Stations Over 'Indecent Content'

The National Media Commission (NMC) has cited 44 television (TV) stations for broadcasting unethical, indecent and offensive content.

A public announcement by the NMC has directed owners of the 44 stations to meet with the commission on Thursday, October 31, 2024.

Owners of the media houses are invited to a discussion with the National Media Commission on the regulatory implications of their broadcast content,” the announcement stated.

The Executive Secretary of the NMC, George Sarpong, in an interview with the Daily Graphic, disclosed that the television stations were cited because they broadcast content on pornography, indecency, fake lottery, occultism, money doubling claims, and money rituals.

On what sanctions would be meted out to the 44 stations, Mr Sarpong said the NMC would issue a final warning to them at the October 31 meeting.

“We are going to have a conversation with them. For now, we are going to warn them for the final time. We have given them earlier warnings, and this is going to be the final warning,” he said.
