The host of the Joy Super Morning Show, Daniel Dadzie, will leave the microphone in the studios of Joy FM for the cameras of Joy Prime from May 1, 2020.
His replacement sources inside Multimedia told theghanareport.com is likely to be Kojo Yankson,who interestingly was taken off the show two years ago.
The new SMS face is expected to take over the show on Monday, May 4.
Daniel, who anchored the show since 2018, leaves Multimedia’s flagship morning shows to become the face of Joy Prime, a television channel under the Multimedia Group.
Earlier this year, Joy Prime started its Morning show, hosted by Jay Folley and Emefa Adeti, a former Ghana’s Most Beautiful queen.
Daniel Dadzie’s presence at Joy Prime is aimed at giving the primarily entertainment station a new depth and pave way for a new agenda, reports myjoyonline.com.
Yankson was the host of the morning show until his commentary on the gas explosion incident at Atomic Junction in Accra became a social media meme. Yankson had claimed that the source of the fire for the gas explosion was a khebab, popularly known as ‘chichinga’.
But media analysts also claim it was because the Joy SMS’ numbers had fallen with stiff competition from its rival, Citi FM, anchored by respected broadcaster, Bernard Avle.
Joy SMS was among other things forced to follow the Citi style of empanelling co-hosts as well as spicing the show with humour.
Theghanareport.com gathers that Animwaa Anim-Addo and Winston Amoah will continue to play their role as co-hosts while Sammy Odame and Papayaw Asare give support as producers with the help of Esinam Osei, of The Multimedia’s Thought Leadership team.
Daniel Dadzie
Daniel Dadzie cut his broadcasting teeth at Skyy Power FM as a reporter, and went through the mill to become the Deputy News Editor in less than two years. He also took on additional responsibility as a political discussion show on radio and TV during weekdays and also anchored major news bulletins.
His versatility attracted the attention in Accra. In 2017, Daniel Dadzie joined the Multimedia Group as Senior Multimedia Journalist and has hosted various programmes on radio and TV.
By February, when Kojo Yankson was reassigned to other programmes in Multimedia, he stepped into his shoes.
Perhaps, 2018 will go down as Daniel’s favourite year on radio as he won the Radio and Television Personality ( RTP) Award for Radio Morning Show Host of the Year and Joy SMS also picked the award for the Radio Morning Show of the Year.
Daniel has a good voice for radio. Kojo will do a good job I can bet on that
Daniel is far better on radio than the later.
I like both of them.
I will miss him on the morning show
Daniel, you are good and will miss you badly but I wish you well. You gave respect to all your callers. Go high brother.
Joy FM should run SMS like Network Africa(Newsday) on BBC with different team leaders.Ghanaians will get use to it.
I agree perfectly.
Kojo has extraordinary skills with impeccable English
Daniel, you’ve been super. Stay up and shine
The wisdom of management is in the interest of the joy family we welcome both to their respective roles assigned them. Bless you all.
This musical chairs must stop. They need to get a resolute host to give Citi FM a run for their money if that’s their aim. I wish Daniel Dadzie all the best.
It’s election year again and Kojo is in to do what he did in 2016..
What did he do in 2016?
Happy to hear Kojo is coming back.Am sure Kojo will be up to the task and will give Citi some good run for their money.Well done Daniel….keep soaring
Well done Daniel but undeniably Kojo is the best.
Good to hear Kojo Yankson back full time on the radio, but Daniel has done a great job.
I love Kojo
Kojo is the best in the country. Of late i can skip the morning show but with Kojo on the seat i dare not even to contemplate skipping.
Kojo brings maturity and experience.
They are both good but I think Kojo brings extra more.
absolutely
I’ve listened to them both and they’re both good but different individuals. Kojo brings depth and maturity whilst Daniel is humorous but a diamond in the rough , still being polished..
My only problem with is… that mostly exaggerates…!+!!
Daniel is good for the job I don’t why multimedia is gambling over this. The loser is Joy FM
Kojo talks too much. With too much pride very often. I love Daniel. I will muss his kayatic sessions with George Addo Jr
Kojo talks too much. With too much pride very often. I love Daniel. I will miss his kayatic sessions with George Addo Jr
Daniel has a good voice and flare for the SMS than Kojo. Kojo talks too much and I think handing him the SMS in this election won’t do any good to their numbers
Are you sure? In terms of listenership, KOJO is superior
Kojo’s coherence supasses Daniel’s word for word delivery. Kojo’s voice is good for presentation, humour and witty just like Nii Annan Thompson. Good decision.
Multimedia never make the mistake of changing kojo again some of us were forced to change our dial to Citi fm. Now that our darling boy is back we’re also back.
“Consistency the key to success ” Joy Fm our Kojo Yankson is back let him stay till he moves to CNN or BBC.
Our English man kojo is back hurrah
Multimedia we salute for bringing our kojo back.
I have lived with Joy Super Morning Show since our ground master (Komina Donor) till now Joy FM has been on point in there selecting so both of them do your almost where ever you find yourself, Daniel & Kojo congrats
Kojo needs the collective support of the team to make greater strides.
Over to you Evils Kwashie.
Kojo is the best
Daniel is good, humble and respectful, I’ll miss him. Please tell Kojo not to talk too much like before.
Both Daniel and Kojo are good,but I think Kojo is more matured and more experienced. He also has a nice voice on radio and able to ask tough questions when interviewing. He should be made to host the show for a longtime.Daniel albeit young possesses most of the qualities of established journalists,he only needs our support and encouragement.He is a great journalist in the making. I wish both of them all the best!!!.
I’ll miss Daniel. Wish you both well wherever you find yourselves.
Kojo pretends to know everything from A to Z. Is Joy FM confused?
I guess the main deciding factor is that we are in an election year and they know that Kojo Yankson is more experienced than Daniel Dadzie to handle the tasks ahead.
Lets not crucify people when they make mistakes, lets support our own. Both presenters are fantastic.
Both of them are just amazing; I think the two should be on the joy SMS with Kojo as the host since he is more matured and more experienced.
Daniel i will miss you
