Yes! You heard it first here. It's on Channel 677 but you need a digital box to receive it. Currently it's free so hopefully it stays that way. The picture quality is also very good.

If you don't have it elsewhere, I suggest you either call your cable company or move to MD (the real Nigerian state in yankee!).

for real! i love maryland. so can i get shows like papaajasco and superstory on it?

Definitely Superstory. As a matter of fact it comes on later today at 8pm naija time which is 3pm in MD.

U've gotta be kidding me. For real?? WHy is it not on direct TV. Comcast be doing big stuffs mehn.

OMG!! You are the best!!! My darling superstory. i've missed that show like crazy. OMG!!_{still in shock}

I no get comcast. And is it only showing in MD? This is sad ooo.

Im happy for those in MD and those who have comcast. NOT!

MHz Networks partnered with Comcast to bring it to MD cos they know the naija customer base here is second to none. Also with Verizon Fios TV uprooting Comcast customers by the thousands, they decided to do something to keep their African (especially Nigerian) subscribers. I watched NTA Newsnight Extra live last night for the first time in 15 years! and it was as if I never left naija, simply amazing.

still can't get past the shock. this is the best news ever. HA don't worry girl i'm sure ur state is next!!

Damygurl, do you live in MD or TX?

Maryland!!! didn't like it untill now!!

ok, im going to MD. i am leaving NJ tomorrow. kai, na wetin. i tot texas and GA had the highest naija peps.

nope!! you can't go into any store without meeting a nigerian down here in Md! we r doing it Big!!! i thought it was Ny but o well, i love MD!!!

You got that right!. Everywhere you turn in MD, there's a Nigerian there.

yea. i got like 6 nigerian stores and 2 nigerian restaurants in my area. Don't u luv Maryland!!

So as soon as the guy set it up i can watch NTA right?

Absolutely, just put it on Channel 677.

Now what I'm trying to research is how to get a programme lineup for the channel cos it's not available anywhere so far. That was I know when to set the VCR for programs I want to record while away.

i sorta don't get wat u r saying. do u have tivo?

Yes I have Tivo (DVR) but that's not what I mean. What I'm trying to say is, you know how if you have a digital box you can use your cable TV remote to check what's playing when on a particular channel, it just shows up as "Nigerian Television Authority" so you have to wait for NTA to show a lineup of programs showing for the day so as to have an idea of when to watch or record whatever program you might miss if you are not home.

got ya now. i just remebered dat Papa ajasco is not on Nta. do you know if Fuji house of commotion is still on?

I'm not sure. I only started viewing the channel yesterday so time will tell.

comcast guys r coming later on today. i can't wait!!

You can get the basic package but just make sure you get a Digital Box or Converter and once it's installed, tune in to Channel 677 and Bob's your uncle!.

You are the best!

Let us know what you think once you get the picture, ok?

aight. you got it!!

Damugurl, did you get it?

anyone with a sky box in uk can watch Ben Tv or OBE tv and u get to watch AIT n NTA plus other nija centered programmes free, UK rocks

First of all don't lie to yourself.

TX has the highest number of Nigerians. I mean houston alone can take over the people in MD. Talk more of Dallas. And then some!

I tot ATL was next, but maybe it's MD sha.

Im jealous sha oo. Seriously. I want NTA.

No!! . I'm so fricking mad at them. the appointment was yesterday but nobody showed up. we called them like a month ago but they had to do some underground digging. i even called some of my friends and bragged now i can't take there calls  .

No we got the highest number of nigerians!!

i have comcast digital cable and i can't even tune to channel 677. i stay in columbia, md

You need to return that cable box and get the latest one and that should do the trick.

i actually have the latest one with the dvr. what part of MD is this? I'm asking because maybe its not in all counties yet.

I'm in PG county and a friend in Montgomery county has also confirmed it.
