New cost-sharing model for Digital TV broadcasters to take effect in 2027

The government is set to introduce a new cost-sharing framework and graduated tariff-support mechanism for broadcasters on Ghana’s National Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) platform from January 2027.

The Minister said the tariff-support mechanism would seek to balance the cost of operating the national digital television platform with the need to ensure that broadcasters can continue to reach audiences across the country.

According to the Minister, a committee established as part of the review recommended the new framework to help reduce the financial burden on qualifying broadcasters while maintaining the government’s universal access obligations.
