Further reports indicate sister station Radio Gold is also hugely indebted to the NCA and has been ordered to pay or be shut down in a month’s time. Both stations are owned by Network Broadcasting Company.
When Pulse Ghana contacted the NCA, its Corporate Affairs department did not confirm or deny the reports. However it said a press release will be issued in the coming days in relation to the shut down.
Montie FM gained its popularity in the build up to the 2016 elections when some panelists who had appeared on a political show were jailed by the Supreme Court for threatening judges with death.
