Veteran Ghanaian broadcaster and media personality Patrice Amegashie has left GhanaWeb as he begins a new chapter in his professional career.
Amegashie’s exit from the leading Ghanaian digital media platform takes effect on August 13, 2026, bringing an end to his time with the organisation as he prepares to pursue fresh opportunities.
The development marks another significant transition in the career of a broadcaster who has built a strong reputation in Ghana’s media industry over several decades.
Amegashie is a familiar name to many Ghanaian radio and television audiences. Before joining GhanaWeb, he had already established himself as an experienced broadcaster with a career spanning radio, television and digital media.
His career includes a notable stint at Viasat 1, where he co-hosted the popular breakfast programme “This Morning” alongside Kokui Selormey. The programme combined news, current affairs, entertainment and interactive discussions and became one of the station’s recognisable morning offerings.
The two presenters were widely associated with the programme during its run. Contemporary coverage described Amegashie as an experienced radio broadcaster, while the show provided him with an opportunity to further demonstrate his skills on television.
His work in broadcasting has also earned industry recognition. Amegashie was previously nominated for the Radio and Television Personality Awards in the TV Morning Show Host category, highlighting his standing among Ghanaian broadcasters.
His media career stretches back even further, with records showing his involvement in radio broadcasting before his television career. He has worked with various media organisations and has remained active across different platforms as the Ghanaian media landscape has evolved.
Amegashie’s departure from GhanaWeb comes at a time when the media industry continues to undergo significant changes. Traditional broadcasting has increasingly merged with digital publishing, social media and online content, creating new opportunities for experienced journalists and media professionals.
His move therefore represents not simply a change of employer but potentially another stage in a long career that has seen him work across several areas of Ghana’s media industry.
Although details of his next professional destination have not been fully disclosed, his decision to leave GhanaWeb is understood to be connected to his desire to pursue new opportunities.
For GhanaWeb, Amegashie’s departure means the loss of a media professional with extensive experience and familiarity with both traditional broadcasting and modern digital media.
For Amegashie, meanwhile, the transition offers an opportunity to explore new projects and professional possibilities after his time at the platform.
His career has included work in radio, television and digital journalism, giving him a broad understanding of the changing needs of Ghanaian audiences. His experience has also allowed him to operate in different formats, from live morning television to news and current affairs programming.
Amegashie’s earlier work on “This Morning” demonstrated his ability to combine information with audience engagement. The programme featured current affairs, news updates, social issues, entertainment and interactive segments, with viewers encouraged to participate through social media and other platforms.
He was also listed among notable Ghanaian journalists in a ranking published by Avance Media, further reflecting his longstanding presence in the country’s media sector.
As he moves on from GhanaWeb, attention will now turn to his next venture and the direction he chooses to take in the coming months.
For a media personality with experience across multiple generations of Ghanaian broadcasting, his next move is likely to attract interest from colleagues, industry players and audiences who have followed his career over the years.
Amegashie’s exit ultimately signals the beginning of a new professional chapter. While his next destination remains to be announced, his decision to pursue new opportunities leaves open several possibilities in broadcasting, journalism, digital media and other areas of the communications industry.
