Rush to pay TV licence fee following establishment of Courts to try defaulters

The special courts set up by the Chief Justice to try defaulters of TV Licence payment will begin sitting in two days. However, there have been strong reservations from the public particularly from social media users after the announcement was made. 

Their argument has been that GBC has over the years failed to feed its audience with compelling content. 

But the Director General of the Corporation, Dr Kwame Akuffo Anof Ntow has defended the position of GBC on the matter. 

In an interview Dr Anoff-Ntow said the argument of compelling content is flawed as GBC should not be assessed on just the main channel, which is GTV.

Meanwhile, there appears to be panic reaction following the announcement of the setting up of a special court to prosecute defaulters of the TV license fee. 

There is a steady rise in the number of people who want to pay up. 

In an interview with a staff of GBC’s Corporate Affairs Department, Solomon Boye, he said the turnout was encouraging.
