ABSTRACT Islamic television programmes are avenues used by Muslims to counter misrepresentations of Islam. In Ghana, Islamic television programming has been significant in contributing to the enhancement of the image of Islam and Muslim women (Samwini, 2006). The liberalization of the airwaves in 1995 led to the proliferation of Islamic television programmes in Ghana, thereby increasing avenues which can be used by Muslims to present a true image of Islam. This study sought to examine how Muslim women in Ghana are taking advantage of the availability of Islamic television programmes to present their perspectives concerning issues in Islam. The study was specifically interested in finding out the motivation behind Muslim women appearing on Islamic television programmes, issues they discuss when they appear and the opportunities and challenges they encounter as a result of appearing on such programmes. In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 Muslim women who appear either as guests, hosts or serve as producers of Islamic television programmes that air in Ghana, specifically in Accra. The findings revealed that Muslim women who appear on Islamic television programmes tend to use such platforms as avenues to challenge and introduce new perspectives on discussions concerning the Muslim woman. It also revealed that poor sponsorship of Islamic programmes, criticisms of their appearance and having an unsupportive husband pose a threat to Muslim women participation in Islamic television programmes.
