Some ace broadcasters in Ghana have petitioned the National Media Commission to take action against television stations that telecast "pornographic materials" late evenings.

In the said petition, the two ace broadcasters, Tommy Annan-Forson and James Oberko said from May 26 to June 7, they monitored and realised that that stations like Ice TV, XYZ TV and Thunder TV were streaming pornographic content contrary to the broadcasting guidelines.

They expressed hopes that the NMC and National Communication Authority (NCA) and Parliament will deal with their concerns.

Some Ghanaians had earlier raised concerns about the extent at which such pornographic materials are being streamed on the above television stations.
