Mikki Osei Berko: I Tear Up When GBC Airs Foreign Content

Veteran actor Mikki Osei Berko, popularly known as Dada Boat, has expressed deep disappointment over the high volume of foreign content aired on Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC).Speaking on Joy Prime’s Changes show with Roselyn Felli, he lamented that even Ghana’s national broadcaster has followed the trend of private stations by prioritizing foreign programs over local productions.
