Franklin Cudjoe, in a post on his Facebook page suggested that the President replicates similar actions with some radio stations that were shut down by the NCA in 2017 and 2019. Some radio stations were shut down in 2017 and their licenses withdrawn for operating without authorization. While some stations shut down following this decision, others did not. In 2019, two radio stations, Radio Gold and Radio XYZ were also taken off air, with explanations by the NCA that the said institutions were operating without valid authorisations as determined by the 2017 FM Broadcasting Audit.
