NMC must enforceguidelines to protectviewers, especially minors

Dear Editor,

I WRITE to express my growing concern about the increasing display of adult content on some television stations in the country.

These programmes, often aired during hours when children are most likely to be watching, pose a serious threat to their moral development and general well-being.

Television remains one of the strongest influences on young people, and stations have a responsibility to ensure that their content reflects the values we seek to instil in our society.

Unfortunately, some channels appear to prioritise sensationalism and profit over public safety and decency.

Such content not only exposes children to material they are not prepared to process but also undermines parents’ efforts to guide their behaviour.

I call on the National Media Commission (NMC) and other regulatory bodies to intensify monitoring and enforce stricter guidelines to protect viewers, especially minors.

Broadcasters must be reminded of their duty to promote responsible and wholesome programming.

Our airwaves should uplift, educate, and inform — not endanger the moral fabric of the next generation.

Eugene Ampiaw,
Accra
