Owner of Asaase Radio, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has denied claims that suggested government attempt to transfer Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) channels to upcoming Asaase TV.
Speaking on Citi TV’s Face to Face show Gabby said, “I am hearing it for the first time. First of all, ABC Radio Ltd which owns Asaase Radio has not put in any application for DTT. Because that is really what the issue is and there is no such application.”
This comes after Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Samuel Nartey George insinuated that government may be trying to give out GBC channels to Assase TV.
“Is it because the Asaase media empire wants to get a TV station and they want to take one or more of GBC’s frequencies and give to the Asaase Empire to build an Asaase TV empire? We are asking these questions,” Sam George quizzed.
In reaction Gabby said. on matters like these I don’t think Sam George should be the one that we should rely on.”
