By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Theghanareport
Ghanaian rapper D-Black is concerned that only 16 of more than 700 radio and television stations pay royalties to the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO). The organisation’s 2026 list names eight stations from the Multimedia group among broadcasters in good standing, according to GHAMRO.
Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur D-Black said he was shocked that only 16 out of more than 700 radio and television stations were paying music royalties to the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO), a collective management organisation for copyright. He discovered the list during a meeting with GHAMRO’s new chief executive, according to Theghanareport.
D-Black questioned why the situation had persisted, saying it had continued for several years. The list presented by GHAMRO names the stations that are said to be meeting their music royalty payment obligations, according to Theghanareport.
