📈 Future of TV in the North

Ghana is continuing its transition from Analogue to Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). This means viewers need either a DTT-compatible TV or a set-top box to receive the best quality and widest range of free-to-air channels.

As the northern media market matures, we expect to see more specialized channels and original productions coming from the Tamale area.
