When the clock strikes noon and the airwaves heat up on Asempa FM, one voice dominates Ghanaian sports radio—Obeng Kwaku Andy, affectionately known as Papa Myxtro. But before he became the country’s favorite sports broadcaster, Myxtro was making headlines on the pitch, not behind the microphone.
His story is one of rare transition—swapping boots for broadcast gear, and captain’s armbands for studio headsets.
Long before captivating listeners on the Ultimate Sports Show, Papa Myxtro was commanding the midfield for two of Ghana’s most illustrious football clubs: King Faisal and Asante Kotoko. His leadership skills stood out early, leading not just club teams but captaining the University of Cape Coast (UCC) football side and the Ghana National University Team at both the World and African University Games.
Myxtro’s football career wasn’t just about goals and trophies—it sharpened his instincts, discipline, and people skills, which would later become his greatest assets in the world of broadcasting.
His entry into media began humbly at Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), learning the trade from the ground up. His dynamic energy and deep football insight saw him rise rapidly, with stops at FOX FM, ATL FM, and Hot FM, before reaching the peak of Ghanaian radio at Asempa FM—the home of Akan sports.
Today, Papa Myxtro is the trusted host of the Ultimate Sports Show, Ghana’s most popular sports program, blending live updates, expert analysis, player interviews, and razor-sharp commentary. His hard work paid off in 2024 when Forklex named him the Best Sports Show Host of the Year, cementing his status at the top of Ghana’s sports media scene.
What sets Myxtro apart is authenticity. His experience as a former footballer allows him to dissect matches with unmatched clarity—whether breaking down tactics, analyzing player form, or debating controversial VAR decisions.
At the core of his broadcasting philosophy is objectivity—no unnecessary hype, no bias, just clean, honest sports journalism. His goal is simple: inform, entertain, and empower.
Beyond the studio, Papa Myxtro keeps a finger on the pulse of his audience, actively engaging with fans via WhatsApp and social media. He inspires countless young people, proving that with dedication and resilience, you can rise from any starting point.
His personal motto, “Keep getting better,” fuels his mission to make the Ultimate Sports Show sharper, fresher, and more relevant with each passing day. As Papa Myxtro often says, quoting his idol Tiger Woods, “I love to compete. That’s the essence of who I am.”
And for his legion of listeners, his promise remains constant:
> “Every time I sit behind the mic, I give you my absolute best. Thank you for the trust—you’ll always get honesty, insight, and passion from me.”
From midfield general to broadcasting icon, Papa Myxtro continues to run the show—just on a different stage.
