I grew up when Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) was the only TV station around.*even the name is depressing*
Up till now, I haven't seen any positive changes.
Is it the way they cut off programmes to start another or their old and masquerade-make-up ladies or their seeming tilt at bringing every one on board bec of federal character and Ŋφτ̲̅ considering talents?
Graphics is Zero.
Please give suggestions on how NTA can stand tall among the other channels.

Very depressing indeed... Can't remember d last time I tuned to NTA...
The NEWS theme song should be changed abeg...
I don't even lyk d news I prefer Channels news.. NTA SUCKS!!?!

NTA should get funds from the private sector because the government funds are inadequate. I agree with lilyeean, the news theme song should be changed, it sucks. They should also stop the use of compositing techniques in their news studio, it's horrible. This is how a proper news room looks like, no blue screen compositing.

[b] WOW!!! Now that's a what a newsroom shld look lyk... This 1 ROCKS!!! .... This environs alone is news enof 4 me.... [/b]

Improve ke? Never cos it's the same people that will remain there so how can they improve?

For NTA it's backward ever forward never

It's a downward mobile establishment. Can't you see they still use those polaroid cameras we took pictures with when we visited zoological garden in the 80's?

true talk

So it seems N.T.A is condemned to doom. Anyway,no wonder they are still one of the few free channels on DStv. Lmao.

forget it nta can't improve,even when enlightened people like ben bruce was running the place it was like it is now. Its the most boring station ever.

They should shut down, and pack up. They shouldn't even sell - not sure they have any useful equipment to sell.

Lolz! Who will show Mrs patience carrying her ublerra?

NO1.LET NTA HAVE AUTONOMY AS CBN DOES.
NO2.THE APPOINTMENT OF ITS DG SHOULD
BE THROUGH THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
NO3.GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP FUNDING IT
SUCH THAT HER REVENUE SHOULD COME WITHIN SELF.
NO4.EVERY STATION SHOULD GENERATE ITS FUNDS

There is no hope for NTA.. Sorry but thats the truth.

Thanks for sharing.

Back in the 90s when I was younger, once it is 9pm news...that means bedtime...even though my Dad insisted we watch the news, my siblings and I always end up sleeping on the sitting room chairs...talk about absolute boredom. Imagine people like Cyril Stober still casting news...that guy has been there since I was conscious of myself as a living person.

NTA? Gawd, I HATE those channels!

They smell like poverty!

Prayers.....!

Sell (privitize) it to Atiku abi OBJ.

Really? Have you seen NTA's budget and actual annual expenses? If you haven't, check the budget office website under Federal Ministry of Information. Fact is that NTA is OVER FUNDED but like all things with "N" as in Nigeria; corruption, federal character, quota system, mediocrity, tribalism, eye service, etc etc come in the way. I'm surprised that anyone still watches NTA. It sucks like nothing else I know.

that guy is still there?

most nigerian tv stations are boring anyway except for AIT

The way the make believe news studio shakes when the camera zoom out, so disgusting.
If they don't have a real studio , they should stop embarrassing Nigerians

Beauty attracts and dats a fact...Τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ newsroom shld make sense lyk dat picture above...Τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ newscaster(s) shld dress elegantly and τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ video quality shld be high def...their problem is that they need to make money sharp sharp so they focus on collecting money for useless programmes and adverts instead of showcasing better programs....Can u imagine that when a whole national team is playing a match, NTA wld be showing a church program...dats bullshit...My suggestion is this..let NTA create new channels-NTA sports and NTA entertainment..τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ three channels shld showcase better programs..τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ nta sports can get τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ rights to showcase some premier league matches while τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ nta entertainment shld be focused on music,movies and maybe reality shows (just lyk E)..do u knw hw much revenue they will get in a year? Money from advertisement alone wld be enof to fund τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ power sector..But τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ problem with Nigeria is corruption and stupidity so we can expect business as usual...Peace

NTA should stop fielding those traditional attire wearing, heavy-accented, Oral english maneuvering newscasters.

burn it down and pack de ashes back it will equal bbc or cnn :Pburn it down and pack de ashes back it will equal bbc or cnn
