Full List of Television Stations in Nigeria by States
The first terrestrial television broadcast signals in Africa occurred on Saturday October 31, 1959 and belonged to the Western Nigeria Television Service (WNTS). Nigeria was one of the first countries to introduce television broadcasting in Africa.
Nigeria also has the largest terrestrial television network in Africa which is the Nigerian Television Authority (with over 96 stations scattered around the country).
This article presents you with the full list of television stations in Nigeria, arranged according to states.
There are more than a hundred television stations in Nigeria, with necessary broadcasting licenses from the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
Television has had a significant impact on society by extending the senses of vision and hearing beyond the constraints of physical distance.
It began as a prospective medium for education and interpersonal connection in the early twentieth century, but by the mid-century it had evolved into a vibrant broadcast medium, using the paradigm of broadcast radio to offer news and entertainment to people all over the world.
Television is now delivered in a variety of ways, including “over the air” via terrestrial radio waves (traditional broadcast TV), over coaxial cables (cable TV), reflected off geostationary Earth orbit satellites (direct broadcast satellite, or DBS, TV), streamed over the Internet, and recorded optically on DVDs and Blu-ray discs.
