Judge Peter Gbeneweleh of Civil Law Court ‘A’ in Monrovia, on Tuesday, January 7 ruled authorizing the government (respondent) to immediately open Punch FM (petitioner). One of their demands was to grant the broadcast license for the opening of Punch FM. According to Gbeneweleh, the petitioner later obtained its Article of Incorporation on January 5, 2018, and the respondent granted a permit to the petitioner on January 10, 2018. It can be recalled that on October 15, the station filed for a Petition for Declaratory Judgment to the Civil Law Court. According to the petition, while the review process directly affected its station, other media outlets, such as Spoon FM, were already opening and operating.
