Former Angel FM newscaster Appiah Kubi has shed light on the circumstances leading to the departure of popular radio host Captain Smart from the station.
In a recent revelation during an interview with De God Son TV, Kubi explained that Captain Smart's outspoken nature and comments about powerful individuals ultimately led to his exit.
Kubi noted that while Captain Smart brought a fiery passion to his work, his remarks began to pose a threat to the business interests of the station's management.
"It got to a point where he had said something that did not bode well for the business. So there were signals coming from above," Kubi stated.
He highlighted the competitive nature of the media landscape, where practitioners often vie for positions.
However, in Captain Smart's case, the issue stemmed from the top.
His comments about influential figures prompted concerns from the station's owner, who feared potential repercussions if those individuals gained power.
“But for Captain Smart, his issue was from the top. He had spoken about some powerful people. So the boss signaled him that he was a businessman; if Smart goes after those people and they come into power, they can do things that could affect the business," Kubi explained.
