Some of its finest presenters who left include Kofi Adoma Nwanwanii, Captain Smart, Afia Pokuaa VimLady, Ohemaa Woyeje, Nana Yaa Brefo and others.
Now there is something strange about this. Most of the top presenters joined Angel Fm after resigning from the MGL.
Multimedia Group Ltd owns Television and radio stations such as Joy FM, Adom FM, Asempa FM, Adom TV and other media stations in Ghana.
Kofi Adomah left Multimedia Group Limited in 2018. Now, the renowned radio and TV presenter has returned to studio after two years on the sidelines.
Kofi Adomah has joined Angel FM and he officially started working on June 1, 2020. Magraheb TV revealed that, Kofi Adoma main reason of leaving Multimedia Group Ltd was attributed to Kofi TV being founded and owned by him . Magraheb revealed that the Management of the Multimedia were not happy about their employee establishing his own brand , they warned Kofi Adoma to scrap Kofi TV but the veteran News presenter, ignored the warnings. According Magraheb, Multimedia later approached Kofi Adoma to buy ,his TV brand which at that time had over 180K followers and add it to Multimedia but the offer was rejected by Kofi Adoma. Upon seeing Kofi TV as being competing them, the MGL management tried adding and pilling more jobs on Kofi Adoma to keep him busy in order to distract his attention but the hardworking Kofi Adoma never bordered but managed to balance the two jobs. This issue between the multimedia Management and Kofi Adoma reaches a point where Kofi TV and its crews including their equipment were banned on the premises of the Multimedia Group Ltd and all these culminated to the resignation of Kofi Adoma from the Multimedia Group Ltd.

Magraheb TV presenter , Oppong Francis revealed that, on the day Woyeje resumed work , just about an hour before she went on air, her boss sent her a Whatsapp message asking her to hand over the show to someone else, without any explanation which she complied. According to Magraheb TV Presenter, Ohemaa Woyeje was given a new task such as fieldwork and production work meanwhile her original job contract description was to be an entertain host ( DJ) and engage listeners with music but they breached the contract by assigning her new roles that have nothing to do with her original contract.
