The National Media Commission has blocked some three television stations from telecasting "pornographic materials" late evenings.
This comes in the wake after some ace broadcasters have petitioned the National Media Commission to take action against television stations that show pornographic.

In the said petition, the two ace broadcasters, Tommy Annan-Forson and James Oberko said from May 26 to June 7, they monitored and realised that that stations like Ice TV, XYZ TV and Thunder TV were streaming pornographic content contrary to the broadcasting guidelines.
Earlier, the National Media Commission has indicated that it will not take any action against the three television stations
But the NMC in a statement said contents of the three stations did not meet the standards of decency required by the Broadcasting Standards of the Commission.

Chairman of the NMC Kwasi Gyan-Apenteng said "Section 7 (e) of the NMC Broadcasting Guidelines provides that ‘Actual sexual intercourse between humans should at no time be transmitted. The Commission said this provision does not admit of any exceptions."
The NMC noted that the three TV stations at a meeting, apologised and committed themselves and would ensure that there would be no more pornography on their network.
The Commission has since cautioned broadcasting stations and other electronic communications networks to be particularly mindful of the implications of carrying any content which offends public sensibilities.
