Very few people had knowledge as to how he has been doing this until last year. The man disclosed that he had been paying huge amount each year just to keep his TV station LSTV on. He announced that he was not making any income from it hence may not be able to keep the TV on unless viewers support him. He announced donation platforms and encouraged his followers to donate.
Unfortunately, the donations have not been coming as expected. The TV has been taken down.
Announcing the sad news on his social media platform, Kelvin Tailor said he had exhausted the first six months subscription which he paid for at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately he had not raised enough funds to pay for the last six months. He pleaded with his followers to donate so the TV can come back on air. Check Kelvin Tailor’s post below.
“Hello Family, we have not been able to come live in the last 48 hours because of a crisis meeting we have with our Tv host.
The whole issue is that we have exhausted payment for the Tv to run for the first 6 months of the year and we have to make payments for the next 6 months or risk having the channel taken down completely.
We could run the WADR on just social media but our focus is to keep the Tv on so the average Ghanaian who has access to Tv would not be burdened to buy data every day to watch our almost 4 hour show daily.
We have not Monetise any of our digital platforms and those with basic knowledge in monetization can run a basic test on our social media channels to check. (We have a reason for not monetising our digital channels)
Our reason for not running ads on Loud Silence Tv is because we believe once advertisers come on board, they will try to dictate what becomes the story on our channel and that will affect the scope of With All Due Respect in addressing those in authority in the language they best understand.
For every 30 days that the LSTV runs, we have to pay a base amount of 5,000 American dollars which is equivalent to 40,000 cedis with 8 cedis exchange rates. (this can be verified from other Tv Owners in Ghana)
This has been paid for single-handedly by Kevin Taylor and through your kind donations.
It’s in line with this we are bringing to your notice to help sustain the LSTV for the last 6 months of 2022.”
Lovers of ‘With All Due Respect’ have expressed shock over the development. Donations have started pouring in. Others have suggested he monetised his social media platforms to raise funds to support the TV. Some have suggested other ways of funding the TV.
