  "summary": "Ghanaian broadcaster Cris Tackie, a celebrated figure in the country's broadcasting industry, passed away on Saturday, 26 September 2026. Known for his creative genius, hard work, and discipline, Tackie was the creator of several iconic radio programs, including \"What Do You Know?\" and \"Watch These Things.\" A royal by birth and a humble individual, Tackie attended several prestigious educational institutions and gained international recognition by becoming the Overall Best Student in an International Broadcasting Course at the BBC. He served as Director of Sound Broadcasting and Special Assistant to the Director-General at GBC before retiring in 2000. Tackie's greatest legacy, however, was the countless broadcasters he trained, fostering a new generation of skilled professionals in Ghana's radio and broadcasting landscape.",
