African Media Aid, (AFRMA), a Non Governmental Media Organization in Sunyani, has commended the management and staff of Space FM for emerging the over all Best Radio Station in the Brong Ahafo Region for 2006. In a letter signed by the Chief Executicve Officer (CEO) of AFRIMA, Mr. Raphael Ahenu Jnr and copied to the press, the NGO said “Space FM has since its inception in 2003 maintained high broadcasting standards and it came as no surprise when the station swept most of the awards at the first ever media awards in the region”. Mr. Ahenu urged the station to continue to run their programmes in accordance with the rules and regulations of broadcasting. The CEO urged other broadcasaters in the region to strive for excellence in the performance of their duties. He was particularly glad about the station’s news and news review programmes, saying it is among the best in the country. Mr. Ahenu said he expected Papa Abisa of Space newsroom to have gone home with the best twi news caster award but he did not contest. He therefore appealed to programme managers to encourage their presenters to enter for such awards which serve as motivation and recognition of quality delivery. Space FM, operated by Global Media Partners, won five out of the twenty-one award including the best sports presenter (Alhaji Alhassan Yahaya), Best Sports Programme (Space Super Sports), Best Arts and Entertainment presenter (Danny Glover - presenter of Space Ecstasy,) and Best Morning Show presenter Nana Kyei Adoma Samuel (Nana KAS). The Award Scheme was organised by Doorstep Ventures, in collaboration with the Brong Ahafo Regional Chapter of Ghana Journalist Association,(GJA) and the Regional Planning Committee of Ghana @ 50 celebrations. The over all best media practitioner, however went to Kwabena Pra Jnr (Dondada), of Nananom FM, Goaso. Before the awards, there were indications that Space FM was going to annex most of the awards and it was therefore no surprise that the station won five of the awards.

But Nana KAS, host of "Space Morning Flight" thought his programme should have won the best radio programme. "Though I have won the best morning show award, I believe the show should have rather won the award".

Patrons also could not understand why Space FM's "Business and Finance programme "Pe Adwuma Bi Ye", hosted by Kwabena Appiah Kubi, did not win an award.

They argue that even before the presentation of the awards, MP for Sunyani West, Hon. Kwadwo Adjei Darko, had mentioned that the programme was unique in several ways.

Dignitaries at the programme included, Hon. Kwadwo Adjei Darko, MP and Minister of State at the Office of the President, Professor Akumfi Ameyaw, Minister, Ports, Railways and Harbours, Abraham Kwadwo Kwakye, Deputy B/A Minister, Hon.Adjei Yeboah, Deputy Minister, Mines, Lands and Forestry and Hon. Kwame Ampofo Twumasi, Deputy Education Minister.

The rest were, Nana Owusu Ansah Kokroko, Wenchi Krontihene and chairman of the occasion, Daasebre Amankona Diawuo, Berekumhene and Nana Gyau Gyan, Berekum Atipemhene.
