TV3 is a Ghanaian free-to-air television network in Ghana.[1] Launched in 1997 by Malaysian company Sistem Televisyen Malaysia Berhad,[2] TV3 airs and produces a variety of television programmes including acclaimed news bulletins, dramas and successful reality television and entertainment shows. It was taken over by a Ghanaian company called Media General Ghana Limited in 2011.
TV3 Ghana established itself as the most watched free-to-air television station in Ghana, having achieved 65% nationwide penetration at end-2006 and aiming to reach 90% by 2008. TV3 is a privately owned TV in Ghana.[3]
However, TV3 has experienced major competition in the likes of Metro TV which has succeeded not only in broadcasting its network to all the regions in the country but it also struck a deal with South Africa's MultiChoice allowing it to be broadcast throughout Africa. Despite this, TV3 remains popular for its showing of Mexican telenovelas, Korean series and music and a variety of local and foreign movies. TV3 entertains and educates its viewers through all the programs aired.[4] TV3 Ghana is committed to delivering high-quality media content that informs, educates, and entertains its audience. [5]
