Media conglomerate Media General (MG) has rolled out its programmes for the rest of the year.
Owners of TV3, 3FM, Onua FM, Connect FM and Akoma FM as well as other media firms, MG is poised to surpass its peers in the media landscape.
Speaking at the screening event held on Friday, April 8, Chief Executive Officer Ray Nkwe observed that programming across the various MG media firms have been well-researched.
Mr Nkwe explained that the programmes have also been tailored to meet the needs of all Ghanaians especially those between the ages 16 and 34, who form the core primetime audience.
He, therefore, indicated that the programmes exude quality at its best.
“The only challenge,” he admitted, “remains that when TV3 made these promises, our partners prepared to meet us halfway.”
“I have no doubt that since we meet their needs, they will also meet our needs.”
Present at the event were board members of MG, management and staff of the various MG media firms and, most importantly, clients of MG for whom the programmes were particularly screened.
Election 2016
Not only did the screening involve existing programmes, but also new ones were shown to all gathered at the plush Kempiski Hotel.
Snippets of upcoming shows such as The Key Point, Eye on the Seat, Taste of Love and Shampaign were screened.
Mr Nkwe announced that TV3 will launch a “dedicated campaign” in terms of coverage for the 2016 elections.
“We are going to deploy the largest news crew for an election in the country.”
MG Digital Media is also expected to be launched soon. It will see one composite news portal for TV3 and MG radio stations.

Sources at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have told TV3 that the President of the Senior Staff Association (KOSSA), Dr. Charles Offei Palm has been dismissed.
He was emphatic that he would be available for any dismissal letter, declaring “if management wants to sack me I am around”.
“So far as I am concerned I have not received any dismissal letter from management,” he stressed.
Management of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital interdicted Dr. Offei Palm over comments he made on an Accra-based FM station last week.
The hospital management said Dr Charles Offei-Palm’s pronouncements on Class FM on Thursday March 17, 2016 “constitute misrepresentation of facts and peddling of falsehood”.
The interdiction letter signed by Korle Bu’s Director of Human Resources, Samuel Akotuah Akweri, said the Specialist Pharmacist breached the hospital’s media policy.
“Pronouncements made during the said interview tarnished the image of the Hospital and also brought the name of the Hospital into disrepute,” he letter said in part.
Meanwhile, the President of KOSSA has filed a writ at the Human Rights Court praying the court to place interlocutory injunction on the actions of management against him.
TV3 has also learnt that the Korle-Bu Senior Staff Association is to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the 48 hour ultimatum to management to withdraw the interdiction letter served on its president, which elapsed on Thursday.
Members of the association had indicated that they would not allow the management to dictate to them on what to do.
When tv3network.com contacted the public relations department of the hospital, they would not want to comment on the raging issue between management and Dr. Offei Palm.
