NCA Broadcast Management Center
The BMC is a monitoring system that is completely independent and used to analyze the frequency and technical requirements of TV and FM radio broadcasting services. The installation, which was created by Bahamus Electronics, keeps an eye on all 13 satellites that provide Free to Air (FTA) satellite TV services over Ghana's territory. It also has the capacity to record 100 (one hundred) terrestrial and satellite video channels and produce them for review, analysis, or proof.
