UPGRADED NEW METRO TV: Leading A Fresh Broadcasting Business Journey With William Asare

Once a dominant force on the media landscape, Metro TV over the last couple of years have had turbulent times. However, the station seems to have found its rhythm with KBL’s acquisition of Media TV which partly owns Metro TV about two years ago and the station seems to be making some subtle changes on screen which makes it quite refreshing to watch and to stay tuned to the station. This refreshing upgrade is evidenced by GJA’s appreciation of Good Morning Ghana as the Best Morning Show of the year, 2018.  Metro TV has been in the competitive TV market following 22 years of operations under the Talal brothers’ management. However, in December 2017, KBL, the new owners of Media TV and by extension, Metro TV instituted a new management team, headed by William Asare, an astute TV/Event brain who is leading the team to roll out some new programs and a exce`ptional customer service attitude approach which seems to be getting the attention of Ghanaians.
