The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has withdrawn from all Media General's platforms, including TV3, 3 FM, and Onua FM.
The decision, communicated through a press release issued on January 26 and signed by the party’s communications director, Richard Ahiagbah, follows months of supposed failed attempts to address concerns over biased and unprofessional conduct by Media General hosts and management.
According to the NPP, repeated efforts to engage with the media house’s production team, hosts, and management have not resulted in meaningful change.
The party claims that despite assurances since 2023, the issues of biased moderation and inappropriate behaviour have continued.
"Though withdrawal is not our preferred course of action, we have been left with no other choice due to the stance of Media General’s management," Ahiagbah stated in the release.
The NPP outlined several instances of misconduct, including one involving a regular guest on TV3 who reportedly made inflammatory remarks about former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The party criticised the show’s host for failing to challenge or address the offensive comments, instead laughing them off.
The NPP also raised concerns about the political bias of TV3’s political panels, accusing the network of assembling groups that heavily favour one party over another, undermining fair representation.
The party has called on Media General to move away from what it describes as an activist stance and instead strive to become a more balanced platform that serves the information needs of Ghanaians.
