According to UTV, the unexplained absence of Agya Kwabena from United Television’s (UTV) popular weekday morning show has stirred a wave of speculation among viewers and media analysts. His sudden disappearance has led to growing curiosity about the factors behind his reassignment, which some observers suggest goes beyond routine programming adjustments.
Political analyst and New Patriotic Party (NPP) affiliate PK Sarpong has weighed in on the matter, claiming that Kwabena’s shift to a less prominent Saturday morning slot may be linked to deeper political dynamics. In a widely shared social media post, Sarpong alleged that the change was not merely a scheduling decision but a deliberate move by station executives, reducing Kwabena’s visibility and influence.
The new time slot places him in direct competition with other established weekend programs, raising questions about whether the change amounts to a demotion. Sarpong hinted that the decision may have stemmed from concerns over Kwabena’s alleged political affiliations and conduct.
According to the claims, Kwabena is believed to have sought favor from the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, using his media presence to lobby for a role under the Mahama-led administration. Reports suggest he had used his platform to frequently criticize the NPP, which may have triggered internal concerns at UTV regarding his perceived political bias.
Sarpong further indicated that UTV’s leadership, particularly Managing Director Fadda Dickson, may have initiated a reassessment of Kwabena’s role after his actions began to align more closely with partisan messaging than journalistic neutrality.
Neither Agya Kwabena nor UTV has issued an official statement addressing the allegations. Meanwhile, the speculation surrounding his reassignment continues to draw attention from both the media industry and political circles, with many awaiting further clarification from the parties involved.
