Abstract	This study investigates ideological positioning in the four TV stations’ primetime news presentations in Ghana. The study explores linguistic resources that enact ideological positioning in the primetime TV news presentations. It begins with ideological positioning in evaluative resources, it proceeds to ideological positioning in semiotics and ideological positioning through other linguistic features through the lens of Appraisal Theory by Martin and White (2005). It became clear that linguistic resources in primetime TV news presentations enact different ideological positioning for subjects of the news
