RADIO STAIONS IN GHANA Obviously all the news channels have their strengths and weaknesses...and are doing certainly doing well in an avenue or two... however my subjective ratings will be as follows:

JOY fm- (8.7 out of 10) the best and obvious leader in the English news segment. They have a greater percentage of the English news listership. Their strengths are obviously the speed with which they break the news, the analysis they offer on subjects of interests discussed on the news and the professionalism of their newscasters. The downside I’ll say are a few mistakes the make with unconfirmed stories they break that has on more than one occasion called for their public apology. This places a huge dent on their credibility

CITI fm- (7.5 out of 10) a very close follower of the pacesetters. Credible, professional and quite interesting to listen to. They present a probing interviews on their news and news analysis programs. They seem quite reliable and are the best in terms of social and community issues. Most listeners’ disillusioned with the endless political debates on Ghana radio will find solace here

PEACE fm- (8.5 out of 10) Peace fm have arguably the widest and most extensive listerbase on Gh radio their adoption of the local language makes them the prime source of information for the masses most of which are illiterates or have issues with the English language. This makes them the best in terms of coverage. A few questions arises though as a result of the “occasional” exaggerations presented as part of the news. RADIO GOLD (5.5 out of 10)- professionalism, credibility and integrity seems to be the bane of this radio network. They seem though to have the commitment of their loyal ‘fans’ who may be (NDC) party faithful’s who will want to listen t political debates and propaganda perhaps in the favor of the ruling party. ADOM fm (8.2 out of 10) probably the local version of Joy fm, Adom fm prides itself as the best in reliable news coverage in the local language. They also present detailed and reliable news coverage in the local language. Politics is strong suit of the station and they seem to do it well.
