The Ministry of Communications through the NCA sometime in 2015, announced its intentions to reduce the reach of all radio stations from 100km to 45 km, a decision the stations vehemently opposed through their association, the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA). The respondent argued that the directives were well within their mandate as spelt out in law, arguing that other media houses had agreed and complied with the directives. Presiding judge Mrs. Mensah Datsa, granted the injunction and adjourned the hearing of the substantive matter to December 2018. Meanwhile, other radio stations to be affected by the NCA directive have given their indication to join the suit brought by the radio stations against the regulator.
