Indexing government scandals one at a time
Ghana’s attempt to transition from analogue to digital is set to meet another major snag.
This is because the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) has rolled up its sleeves to resist the government’s move to commit the country’s only Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) infrastructure into the hands of Chinese pay TV, StarTimes.
Incensed by the government’s attempts to yield its DTT to StarTimes through the Ministry of Communications, GIBA said: “If StarTimes is allowed to control both Ghana’s only digital television infrastructure and the satellite space in the name of digital migration, Ghana would have virtually submitted its broadcast space to Chinese control and content.”
