MTA Ghana is a 24-hour Islamic TV channel that was launched by the MTA International network, the first country-exclusive channel by the network, and based in Accra, Ghana. It is broadcast on the terrestrial platform and airs content in a number of local languages like Twi, Fante and Hausa. The channel, which is operated by the Wahab Adam Studio, is run by 17 full-time staff, and over 60 volunteers for various departments.

History

Prior to the launch of MTA Ghana, the MTA network covered the country through its two other satellite-based African channels, MTA Africa 1 and MTA Africa 2, the latter of which was mainly for viewers of West Africa, which were launched back in August of 2016.
