Alhaji Seidu Agongo launches Accra TV with focus on credibility

Alhaji Seidu Agongo, the founder of Class Media Group (CMG), has officially launched Accra TV, a new television channel dedicated to restoring trust and accountability in the Ghanaian media landscape. The launch event, held at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, brought together a diverse group of media personalities, politicians, and industry stakeholders to witness the unveiling of the latest addition to the CMG portfolio. The new station joins a growing list of media outlets under the CMG umbrella, which already operates several radio stations and digital news platforms nationwide. During the ceremony, Agongo emphasized that credibility would be the cornerstone of Accra TV's operations. He issued a "trust pledge," stating that the platform aims to be a reliable source of news in an era where misinformation often clouds public discourse. The founder highlighted that the channel was established not just for entertainment, but as a vehicle for public service reporting that holds leadership accountable while serving the interests of the ordinary Ghanaian. He stressed that the channel's commitment to accuracy would be its most significant asset in a competitive market. The new station's programming lineup is designed to address a wide array of societal issues, with a specific focus on community concerns and women's affairs. Beyond news and current affairs, Accra TV will also feature entertainment content, aiming to provide a balanced viewing experience for its audience. By prioritizing local community issues and ethical journalism, the station seeks to fill a perceived gap in the media industry for authentic, ground-up reporting that resonates with the diverse demographics of the capital and beyond.
