(Best Station,Best Sports,Best Presenter,Best Morning Show,Best Arts and entertainment)

Space FM, operated by Global Media Partners, swept most of the awards at the first ever Brong Ahafo Media awards Night last Friday. Out of the twenty-one awards Space FM won five.


The award Scheme was organised by Doorstep ventures, in collaboration with the Brong Ahafo Chapter of Ghana Journalist Association and the regional planning committee of Ghana @ 50 celebrations.


Space FM was adjudged the over all best radio station for 2006.


Other awards Space grabbed included, the best sports presenter (Alhaji Alhassan Yahaya), best sports programme (Space Super Sports), best arts and entertainment presenter (the presenter of Space Ecstasy, Danny Glover) and best morning show presenter (NanaKas of Space FM).


The over all best media practitioner went to Kwabena Pra Jnr (Dondada), of Nananom FM, Goaso.


Before the awards, there were indications that Space FM was going to annex most of the awards and it was therefore no surprise that the station won five of the awards.

But Nana Kas host of "Space morning flight" thought his programme should have won the best radio programme. "Though I have won the best morning show award, I believe the show should have rather won the award".


Patrons also could not understand why Space FM's "business and finance programme "pe Adwuma bi ye", did not win an award.


They argue that even before the presentation of the awards, MP for Sunyani west, Kwadwo Adjei Darko, had mentioned that the programme was unique in several ways.


Dignitaries at the programme included, Hon. Kwadwo Adjei Darko, MP and Minister of State at the office of the President, Professor Akumfi Ameyaw, Minister, Ports, Railways and Harbours, Abraham Kwadwo Kwakye, Deputy B/A Minister, Adjei Yeboah, Deputy Minister, Mines, Lands and forestry, Kwame Ampofo Twumasi.


The rest were the Deputy Minister, Education, science and Sports, Nana Owusu Ansah Kokroko, Wenchi Krontihene and the chairman of the occasion, Daasebre Amankona Diawuo, Berekumhene, and Nana Gyau Gyan, Berekum Atepemhene.
