On Friday, October 9, 2026, Angel Broadcasting Network (ABN) addressed reports that its radio station, Angel 102.9 FM, and television station, Angel TV, in Accra, Ghana, had gone off-air. The network confirmed the disruption but did not provide specific details about the cause. In an official statement posted on its Facebook page, ABN cited "circumstances beyond the Network's immediate control" for the interruption.
The disruption occurred on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at around 11:30 am, according to online allegations. There were rumors of a court-ordered shutdown, but ABN did not confirm or deny these claims. The network assured its audience that its digital channels, including its YouTube platform, ABN Ghana, and website, remain operational.
ABN's management, led by Dr. Kwaku Oteng, signed the statement addressing the network's audience, clients, advertisers, and commercial partners. The statement did not provide a timeline for when broadcasting on Angel TV and FM Accra would fully resume. However, the network promised that staff were working diligently to resolve the issues and restore normal broadcasting operations.
The network's digital channels have been urged as an alternative for followers while the issues are being resolved. ABN's statement has done little to quiet speculation online, with many still discussing the possible reasons behind the disruption. The network did not directly address the allegations of a court-ordered closure.
Reactions to the disruption have been mixed on social media, with some followers expressing frustration and impatience. Many have taken to the comments section of ABN's Facebook post to share their thoughts and concerns. Some have called for a swift resolution to the issues, while others have expressed skepticism about the network's ability to restore broadcasting.
This disruption comes after recent news of Ben Duker's departure from Angel 102.9 FM, where he served as the station's programs manager for six years. His departure was announced earlier, and he hinted at a new journey but did not reveal further details. The entertainment industry in Ghana has been following the developments closely.
The incident has raised questions about the stability and reliability of Angel Broadcasting Network's services. As the network works to resolve the issues, its audience and partners will be watching closely for updates.
