The cost of producing just one "United Showbiz" episode for UTV is GHC30,000.

"United Showbiz," a prominent entertainment review show on United Television hosted by screen diva Nana Ama Mcbrown, is one of Ghana's most-watched entertainment news programs. 

The show has developed a reputation for being one of the most talked-about, especially on Saturdays when it constantly rules social media trends.

 Despite the beautiful aspects of the show, many viewers have been vocal in recent months over how much time the production team uses to air advertisements.

On some occasions, the show's commercial break lasts nearly 30 minutes.

 

On Saturday, July 2, 2022, during an episode of the show, Manye Dede, a viewer, complained about the show's overwhelming amount of commercials on her Facebook wall.

There are more than 20 billion adverts on just one show, she claimed in her blog post titled "Show Baako advert 20 million."

Uncle Fredyma, a well-known sound engineer and entertainment critic, responded to her article by stating that the commercials are essential for effectiveness because the development alone costs more than GHC30.000.

The exact text of Uncle Fredyma's remark is: "Allow. An expensive production was made. 

"Each manufacturer costs them 30,000 ghc or more. The program's funding comes from the advertisement. Lol".

The number Uncle Fredyman quotes may be higher or lower because he is not a member of the show's production crew.
