The management of Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, (GBC) will on January 3, address concerns being raised by the public relating to the TV Licence fee on its Breakfast Show on TV and Uniiq Breakfast Drive programne
The Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has set up courts in all the regions of Ghana to prosecute TV licence defaulters.
A letter dated December 11, said the courts will sit every Thursday effective January 4, 2018 until otherwise directed.
However, there have been strong reservations from the public particularly from social media users after the announcement was made.
Their argument has been that GBC has over the years failed to feed its audience with compelling content.
But the Director General of the Corporation Dr Kwame Ntow Akuffo-Anoff has defended the position of GBC on the matter.
In an interview Dr. Akuffo-Anoff said the argument of compelling content is flawed as GBC should not be assessed on just the main channel, which is GTV.
Meanwhile, there appears to be panic reaction following the announcement of the setting up of a special court to prosecute defaulters of the TV license fee.
There is a steady rise in the number of people who want to pay up.
The program to educate the public on the need for TV Licence fee will be aired live on radio and TV in all the regional FM stations of GBC.
