Yeah PG County in MD is the Naija center of the East Coast. 1 in 5 blacks here are African about. This might just make me subscribe to digital cable even though it is a rip off.

i live in space. i dont have the NTA and i dont need it. just kidding. good luck to those of u that have got the channel. at least u can update the rest of us what is happening.

Good 4 those of u in Maryland, never used comcast in MD anyway,

I'll just wait till it gets here in the west coast of the US ( if it ever gets here). Don't worry folks I won't hold my breath ,

I just wonder hold the Comcast subscribers in The East got that deal?

Comcast Digital Viewers in Maryland:

Is NTA still showing on channel 677?
Right now, I am no longer getting NTA.

Thanks!

My apologies about the (unintended) false alarm - thankfully NTA is now back on my TV.

Thanks!

i got comcast but i don't have the channel, infact they don't even have the ******.

WOW!
It's really amazing to know that ya all are really glad to recieve Nigerian channels. It feels like serendipity for me especially as a media critic back home here complaining every other day about the qulaity of these programmes and then they are some improvement but really and definitely a lots more needed but I am total glad to hear these comments and anticipation from you guys to get NTA of all channels here in Nigeria.
Well, NTA 2 Ch 5 is the best or probably 2nd best after NTA PLUS ABUJA of NTA Network CHANNELS and am glad it's really keeping you guys abreast of latest happenings and programmes in NIGERIA.
For all of you who haven't gotten the signals yet or having problems getting it please mail me at a2ontheair@yahoo.com and I will publish your concern so that something can be done about that. It is really encouraging to hear all of these comments and enthusiasms.

I wish you guyz can also participate in getting across programme concepts that can help improve our TV as well.

CHEERS GUYZ

I watched NTA news (channel 677) when I was in Silver Spring, Maryland for Thanksgiving. My aunt wasnt even aware that NTA is broadcasted live on Television, especially for those in the MD area, who are subscribers of Comcast. Nice work. It sort of brought floods of nice memories back home. Infact, I temporarily boycotted American programme for Naija programs, much to the slight reproach of my cousin. Not bad, not bad at all.



About Nigerians living in MD, nna, I wonder why them plenty for that area. I was at a party in DC over the weekend and it was hosted by Solitude. See Nigerians everywhere. Like a mini Nigerian community. Bay area, for wia? Still, I think Houston get plenty Naija pass MD, considering their mammoth size.

Cheers.

@ Ndipe, that is maryland for you. They are all over the place. Infact, there are times when you feel like you are in nigeria. It sometimes make me wish i live there.

especially dis places called LAUREL.BOWIE and HYASTSVILLE,full of nigerians.and d station is kinda boring,except for super story and who wants to be a millionnaire.

Well for those of you in Maryland, or maybe anywhere in the US, if you subscribe to Globecast you can get AIT and NTA. I know, we've had both for at least around six months now, but we've had AIT for a couple of years.

well,channel 5 programmes were atleast better than other nta stations in naija,they had acouple of cool programmes,dont know how there farin now,anyway lets b optimistic and see what theyv to offer WHEN WE GET THE CHANCE TO WATCH THEM.

Can you guys with access to NTA via satellite setup a p2ptv channel of nta on Sopcast ?

What you need to do is download the software at www.sopcast.org and setup a public channel.

If anyone is willing to do this, please email me at *** and I will provide assistance in setting up the channel.

there no need leaving ur state becuz of NTA 5. THE HIGHEST PLACE U CAN FOUND THE
NIGERIANS IS IN HOUSTON AND DALLAS TX, FOLLOWED BY MARYLAND AND ATLANTA GA.
I BELIEVE THAT SOON IT WILL COME TO ATLANTA GA,
I DON'T NEED TO MOVE TO MD BCUZ NTA 5.

Why would anybody relocate to Maryland, because of the opportunity to have a Nigerian channel on your television? That one pass me!

I think they get it in NYC too. A friend called me to confirm that he's getting it in Gaithersburg area. Unfortunately, I tried it in the ATL and it didn't come up

By the way, have u been to the ATL recently, the Mecca of the South, is also the home of the BRAVES (NIGERIANS). Don't gossip in Igbo or Yoruba in any stop in the ATL otherwise you will be shock that big brother is hearing u.

I think I shld be abl 2 hlp on prog schedule

What happen to NTA news channel? The signal disappears from Washington D C metro area TV lineup (DC,
Maryland and Virginia).Since 1st April and replaced by Ethiopian news channel

You're right gmcln. All of a sudden NTA, the largest television network in Africa disappeared and was replaced with Etv. Called Comcast and they couldn't even provide a reason why. The customer service rep. said they would look into it and to call back in about a week. We need to stop these people from making decisions like this and not even notifying us about their changes.

NTA has been of air for the past 2 months
