The edifice, he disclosed, houses six (6) studios, each of which has three components.
He said, apart from broadcasting from three television stations, four radio stations were also going to be broadcasting at the same time.

He said the ground floor houses the main broadcast studio which would broadcast news. ‘Good Evening Ghana,’ he promised, was going to take a different form and shape where interviews, editorials amongst others would be done.

He hoped that with the new edifice, their previous place was going to be made available for training journalists with high level journalism and professionalism.

The Architect of the project, Mr Jacob Nyameke Homiah of Nyameke Homiah Architect, indicated his outfit was ready to avail itself to training any interested Ghanaian youth.
