Kumasi-based Silver FM has been shut down after fire tore through its office spaces and studios.
Several pieces of equipment running into millions of cedis were razed down by the inferno which was reported while a programme was in session around 6 am Saturday.
“Unfortunately the fire extended to the production unit and the main studios, destroying everything in the studio. Equipment ranging from cameras, consoles and other pieces of equipment have been razed”, said Dominic Kwaku Boateng, the News Editor of the Station.
Owners of the facility, Silver Media Alliance in a Facebook post had said the station was off-air as part of its “general shutdown maintenance schedule”.
“All functional social media handles are active with the content being broadcasted and regular services would be restored as soon as possible”, they said.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established as personnel from the fire service have been to the scene to begin their investigations.
