Bishop Daniel Obinim
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Oxy FM and entertainment critic, Alfred Kwame Larbi aka DJ Oxygen, has lambasted the General Manager of Ice TV, Samuel Owusu Asare for denying that Bishop Daniel Obinim owns the television channel.
The controversial radio personality said he was disgusted following the denial by the Manager and his refusal to stop airing the porn on their TV. According to Mr. Larbi, he knows every file at the NMC and from what he knows, Bishop Daniel Obinim owns the station. ‘’According to the official licence at NMC, the station is owned by Obinim.
He bought it from Metro FM. This frequency came to support OB TV. The station came to replace the OB TV. When OB TV went off, Ice TV came to replace it and Obinim once said, if OB TV was off, he will still have his programmes on Ice TV and I am not sure Obinim sold his space to Ice TV. I want Obinim to come out and deny that he does not own Ice TV.’’ He further slammed the Manager for saying that the petitioners who filed the complaints did so based on hatred.
The Manager he added goofed in his defence for showing the porn on TV adding, the NMC can take them off air based if they so wish. He advised him to stop throwing a challenge to the NMC and rather because in his utterances since it may have negative impact on them.
The station forms part of the three stations that have had a complaint filed against them by two renowned broadcasters for airing porn on their channels. He added, the station will soon be launched and when that is done, Ghanaians will know who owns the channel.
Two broadcasters, Tommy-Annan Forson and James Kwasi Oberko, have made a complaint against three television stations in Ghana for showing films with pornographic scenes on their channels. The two, on Monday, 12th June, 2017, presented their complaint to the National Media Commission and the Ministry of Information against TV XYZ, Ice TV and Thunder TV, for showing these films to their audience.
