Turn on your radio! Those looking for Ghanaian radio stations who aren't in Ghana may first want to board the next flight to Accra -- as even the strongest FM radio signal will grow weak the further you are from its transmission point. Some popular stops on the radio dial in Ghana include Adom 106.3 FM, Asempa 94.7 FM, Fox 97.9 FM and Joy 99.7 FM. These stations broadcast a variety of news, Christian music, Ghanaian hiplife music and Western R&B and hip-hop.
