The banter started when GTV released an announcement to broadcast all AFCON matches, claiming to provide viewers with the best football experience. GTV questioned why viewers should pay to watch when they can get all the matches for free.
However, DSTV Ghana was not amused by GTV’s claim and hit back with a controversial tweet, questioning the quality of GTV’s broadcast. DSTV Ghana has suggested that viewers should opt for high definition pictures on Supersport instead of settling for poor quality.
The exchange did not end there as GTV responded with a witty comeback, teasing DSTV’s lack of signal during the rains. GTV built a tweet with a meme of a child bathing outside and complaining about the weather, implying that DSTV subscribers would miss the action due to bad weather.
The tweet had a lot going for it netizens cracking up up as they praised the GTV manager for his sense of humour. Some Ghanaians they said GTV was comfortable in the lead, while others urged DSTV to respond better.
