do people still watch NTA?? nawaoo!
I remember one funny sound track before network news back in the days.

It's really sad we call ourselves the giant of africa and our national tv is crap, everything about nta's production is crap. What drives me crazy is that stupid tune they play before the news and the humming sound you hear in the background.

NTA is still living in the past. Their pictures of 2013 looks like something that was filmed before NIgeria gained independence. That's what you get when you employ federal character in an industry that is supposed to be managed by technocrats. If we want to move forward as a Nation, we must do away with this disease called "Federal character".

Ever since we(Ibadan) handed it over to Nigeria, it has gotten worse
Imagine the first TV station in Africa now the poorest TV station

Thanks to Awo for bringing TV to Africa sha

"Federal Character"? I don't think so.
I blame the management team which indirectly is the federal government. Don't think outstanding television stations too don't practice the federal character thing to an extent. Channels TV, Galaxy TV, AIT also practice federal character if you take note but are well managed because they are private.
The country is so complex that if you don't practice federal character those who are not represented will term such station as a tribal one. Those stations I listed up there have workers: presenters, journalist, engineers from all major tribes if you do really watch them. They perform better despite using federal character because those managing them are intellectuals.
Not that I fancy whatever federal character, but if they are to be used they should be used wisely.

Me sef don tyre oooh. When will nta be like cnn or bbc?

Jamey Maxwell: Me sef don tyre oooh. When will nta be like cnn or bbc?

That is even too much for now, they should reach the level of Channels TV, Galaxy TV etc that are local TV first. My state local tv station(B.C.O.S) here in Ib is far better almost in all aspects.

NTA needs to grow up

There's no federal character in those private stations. It's a business enterprise, so they employ the best or at least the better.

But used federal character to select the best from each tribe.

I have a dream• With good management,better service, improved technology . . . Nta will be ranked on the same level with its counter-parts by 2020•
Nw,they just need re-branding• Datz all•

Same thing with radio Nigeria. There is this annoying weezy sound that is associated with the 7am, 4pm and 10pm network news. Some of these government organizations are not well funded. Even the ones that are funded the bosses at the top are only interested in what they can corner their pockets, it is all part of the rot in the federal civil service.

What about the volume?Listening them is harmful to ears,no matter the volume level.It is eithertoo low or uncontrollably loud.Same as ben tv that is suppose to based in london where up to date broadcasting technology is at everyone's reach.

And can someone tell me why someone has to subscribe to NTA in England?What have to got to offer that one should pay for?

There is an ongoing nationwide digitalization programme to cover all broadcasting, and this is due for launching in 2014 or so. The infrastructural work has been ongoing for about three years now. When its done, ALL our channels WILL be 'like CNN'. Right now we use the old analogue systems in broadcasting which accounts for the low quality nature of the feeds across all stations including the so-called 'good' ones like Channels TV.

By 2015 it will be the same crap day in day out. Please, no more apologies

feels like they have a vuvuzela playing in the background!

I had NTA Plus through Globecast World Tv in the U.S but I removed the satellite because my wife hated seeing it or listening to the sound. What a waste called NTA! Watching it is like having a nightmare in your sleep.

No website till date

Two things I hate about nta. 1. Their logo 2. Network news

Imagine a TV station having this logo in 2013

Digitalisatin will force them to improve soon.

Best TV station ?

Dt logo is really ugly tho...but NTA is a reflection of everything nigeria!

Na only picture u see.wat about the Old newscasters.I wonder why nigeria will be doing the same thing and expecting diffrent result
