The government is introducing a new cost-sharing framework for television stations operating on Ghana’s Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) platform, with each station expected to pay US$7,000 per month during the initial years of implementation.
Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, said the new arrangement was based on recommendations from a committee established to develop a sustainable financing model for the DTT platform.
“I set up a committee, and that committee has recommended a sustainable cost-sharing framework and a graduated tariff support mechanism to complement the subsidised national tariff, which will see all TV stations on our DTT platform pay US$7,000 per month during the initial implementation years in a graduated manner,” he said at the Accountability Series on Monday, September 7.
The Minister also announced that the government was reviewing 15 ICT laws as part of efforts to modernise Ghana’s legal framework for the digital sector.
He said about half of the review process had been completed, while stakeholder consultations on 10 priority bills had also been concluded.
