Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has hinted that television signals will be truncated from next year if broadcasters fail to pay for the usage of the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) platform.<\/b><\/p>\n

She revealed that none of the broadcasters on the DTT platform pay for using it, adding that this situation cannot continue.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Monday December 11, she stressed \u201cNone of the broadcasters on the DTT platform pay for using it as I speak and this situation cannot continue in our current economic state.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added \u201cGIBA is not a broadcaster hosted on this platform. So I don’t know in which capacity they would be acting. They have constituent members who are broadcasters on the DTT platform but none of them have paid a pesewa to date for being hosted on the platform so it is not correct any member being hosted on the platform has paid for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
