The organisers of the Radio and Television Personality (RTP) Awards have released the full list of nominees for the 15th GoldBond RTP Awards, spotlighting Ghana’s leading broadcasters, programmes and digital creators ahead of the ceremony scheduled for February 2026.
The highly anticipated nominations, published on the RTP Awards Africa platform, cut across radio, television and new media, reflecting the growing influence of digital creators alongside traditional broadcasters.
In the flagship RTP Personality of the Year category, eight well-known media figures made the shortlist.

The social media and new media categories saw strong competition, with creators such as Kwadwo Sheldon, SDK Dele, Princess Burland, Afronitaa, Endurance Grand, Chef Abbys, Asantewaa, Wesley Kesse and Wode Maya earning nominations across influencer categories on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
Traditional media houses also featured prominently. Media Group of the Year nominees include Ignite Media group, Multimedia Group, Despite Media, Media General, EIB Network, Omni Media and Angel Broadcasting Network. In television, TV3, UTV, Adom TV, Joy News, GHOne TV and Channel One TV were shortlisted in various station and programme categories.
Popular programmes such as Ghana Tonight, News File, United Showbiz, New Day and Date Rush were nominated across news, current affairs, entertainment and reality show categories. Veteran and emerging presenters were also recognised in hosting, newscasting and specialised programme categories for both television and radio.
Radio categories spanned national and regional stations, with nominees drawn from Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Central, Northern, Volta-Oti, Western and Bono regions, underscoring the awards’ nationwide scope.
The RTP Awards will also honour industry veterans in its Hall of Fame (Second Edition). The inductees are Oheneyere Gifty Anti, Dr Randy Abbey, Doreen Andoh, Stacy Amoateng, Rev Azigiza and Kwesi Pratt Jnr.
