Renowned Ghanaian broadcaster Kafui Dey has officially announced his departure from GTV’s Breakfast Show, marking the end of a four-year tenure as the lead host of the popular morning program. The award-winning media personality shared the news via his social media platforms on Friday, July 25, 2025, leaving fans and viewers reflecting on his significant contributions to the show since joining in August 2021.
In an emotional statement, Dey expressed deep gratitude to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), its Director-General, his co-presenters, production crew, and the numerous guests who graced the show during his time as host. “Greetings, after four incredible years, it is time. Today, I step away from #GTVBreakfast – a journey that began on August 2nd, 2021,” he wrote. “I am grateful to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, the Director-General, my amazing co-presenters, producers, directors, crew, the social team, and every single guest who shared our mornings.” He also extended thanks to his supporters for standing by him through the highs and lows, adding an apology to anyone he may have inadvertently offended during his tenure.
Dey’s exit has sparked mixed reactions among Ghanaians, with many praising his role in revitalizing the GTV Breakfast Show. Social media posts highlighted his ability to make the program engaging and relevant, with one user noting, “Oh Kafui, you redefined GTV and made it look attractive again with your morning show. All the best to you.” Another expressed sadness at the news, stating, “Kafui Dey no longer with GTV? I make sad sef.”
The seasoned broadcaster, known for his engaging interview style and professionalism, joined GTV in 2021 alongside co-hosts Valerie Danso and Thelma Tackie, as part of a major rebranding effort for the Breakfast Show. The revamped program, which aired weekdays from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, featured segments like “The Newspaper Review,” “Social Media Eye,” “Sports,” and “Your World,” earning praise for its dynamic content and modernized studio setup. Dey’s presence was instrumental in restoring the show’s reputation as a cornerstone of Ghanaian morning television, reminiscent of its golden era with anchors like Earl Ankrah and Gifty Anti.
While Dey did not disclose the reasons for his departure, he hinted at future endeavors, stating, “This isn’t goodbye. Just the end of a chapter. I believe our paths will cross again—and when they do, we will create even more beautiful memories.” Speculation about his next move has already begun, with fans and media outlets eager to see where the versatile presenter will take his talents next.
Before GTV, Kafui Dey was a household name, having hosted “Who Wants to Be Rich?”—Ghana’s version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”—and morning shows like “GH Today” on GHOne TV and “Starr Today” on Starr 103.5 FM. He also served as a lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Journalism and is an accomplished author, with titles such as How to MC Any Event and Public Speaking A to Z to his name.
Dey’s departure represents a significant loss for GTV, where he played a pivotal role in growing the Breakfast Show’s audience. As viewers bid farewell to the charismatic host, his legacy of professionalism, warmth, and dedication to quality broadcasting will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on Ghanaian television.
