The National Film Authority (NFA) has warned Ghanaian television stations against the unauthorized airing of movies and protected audio-visual content.
In recent times, several international producers, particularly Nigerians, have accused Ghanaian TV stations of showing their movies without seeking authorization.
Reacting to this in a statement issued on Saturday, April 26, the NFA noted that such practice violates copyright laws and threatens the integrity and sustainability of the country’s creative ecosystem.
The regulator revealed that it is working with relevant authorities to investigate these complaints and ensure that whichever station is found guilty has its license suspended or revoked.
“The Authority is working closely with relevant institutions to investigate and take appropriate actions against television stations that air content without authorization from the right owner or right holder.
“Offenders risk having their licenses suspended or revoked,” the statement reads in part.
The NFA, in the statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Kafui Danku, further urged all television stations and media platforms to license content legally, fairly compensate creators, and partner in building a thriving and lawful creative industry.
