Ghana: Asaase – Celebrating Milestones and Shaping the Future of Media

Three years ago, on June 14, 2020, a visionary media organisation emerged in the heart of Accra. Today, Asaase Broadcasting Company stands tall, commemorating milestones that have reshaped Ghana’s media landscape. With a diverse network spread across Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast and Tamale, Asaase has not only achieved remarkable success but also established an unbreakable bond with its audience by offering compelling programming and transformative corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives such as the Asaase Kidney Care campaign.

CONNECTED TO THE LAND: ASAASE’S UNIQUE IDENTITY
