TV3 Ghana established itself as the most watched free-to-air television station in Ghana, having achieved 65% nationwide penetration at end-2006 and aiming to reach 90% by 2008. TV3 is a privately owned TV in Ghana.[1]
However, TV3 has experienced major competition in the likes of Metro TV (Ghana) which has succeeded not only in broadcasting its network to all the regions in the country but it also struck a deal with South Africa's Multi-choice allowing it to be broadcast throughout Africa. Despite this, TV3 remains popular for its showing of Mexican telenovelas, Korean series and music and a variety of local and foreign movies. TV3 entertains and educates its viewers through all the programs aired.[2]
