Later today at the Accra International Conference Center, the 2016 Radio, Television and Personality Awards will take place as Ghana’s best media men and women are honored for their tremendous work the past year.
Top of the nomination pile, trendy basketball television show “Fast Break” is in the running to be voted Best Sports Show of the Year as Host Yaw Sakyi Afari looks set to be named Sports Show Host of the Year.
The event, which will be the sixth edition, got its first ever basketball related program nomination after Fast Break made the shortlist despite stern competition from the football dominated field.
The show airs on Sundays between 13:00 GMT and 14:00 GMT on Ghana channel TV3 and in little over two years since airing its first episode, it has become a must watch.
General Manager of NBA outfit Toronto Raptors Masai Ujiri, Golden State Warriors Forward David West and 2015 NBA Hall of Fame inductee Dikembe Mutombo among other prominent personalities have made appearances on the show.
Highly coveted broadcaster Yaw Sakyi Afari, having led the renaissance of basketball in Ghana to the forefront, has been a major force behind the show’s success, with his ebullience and wittiness.
