EIB employs about 400 people and if 5 or even 20 people leave, that\u2019s an infinitesimal number in the grand scheme of things\u2014it does not make a case for anything, even for the mischievous anti-EIB headline peddlers,\u201d the source stated.<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201clabour is fluid in Ghana and people have left XYZ, Rainbow radio, TV3 and others in the last few months too, yet that\u2019s not a case for concern. But the moment even a cleaner leaves EIB, it makes headline as if there\u2019s a mass exodus of the network\u2019s pillars or the network is crumbling over resignations that are sometimes just tendered in to save folks from getting chopped off eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23961311.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Naa Ashorkor recently resigned from the EIB and joined the Multimedia Group<\/i><\/p>\n<p>As part of the rationalization, the network is taking a global posture, attracting specialist international recruits from London, New York and Johannesburg, to aid it to remain resolute to its principal vision of being an embodiment of \u201cexcellence in broadcasting\u201d in a country where media standards are always questioned. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s undisputed that EIB has changed the media landscape in Ghana and many of its properties such as GHONE, Starr FM, Kasapa FM, Ultimate FM and Agoo TV have beaten expected rankings\u2014perhaps, the reason why naysayers continue to zoom in on their activities and operations, in search for non-existing fissures.   <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/44701444.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Abena Owusu Nyamekye<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Under the brave and super-efficient leadership of the CEO, Nathan Kwabena Adisi (Bola Ray), the huge network has literally risen out of nothing to compete with the early starters, the foremost stations in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/28810407.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>AJ Sarpong left the EIB group for Citi FM<\/i><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: 45 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 12 January 2018 Source: Kwaku Asare Ampofo 2018-01-12 Some popular staff of the EIB network recently resigned to join different media organisations Media conglomerate, Excellence in Broadcasting (EIB), a kind that Ghana has never seen, employing over 400 Ghanaians with 7 radio stations and 3 TV stations under its belt in less [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":454647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-454645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454645\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
