Yes, it is something he can talk about here. This is a discussion forum, you know.  |

My contacts are directors of programmes in the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).
I will give you direct contact details once I am convinced of the safety and security of their privacy and your credibility.

@Seun: really? I thought it was a shooting forum. I need some help with a project.
Doesn't that tell you he/she's kind of wary of posting the details?? Relax admin, I don't have any skeleton in my cupboard. It's just that I can help but that doesn't mean I want to display my identity. You should know that people in the broadcast media tend to have the same privacy issues actors and actresses have. |

@Arike: what sort of materials, documentaries or programmes? Here's how it works: for licences, you go to the NBC( that's National Broadcast Commission),for airtime you approach the t.v. stations who themselves have obtained licence from the NBC to broadcast.
Now, for locally sourced programmes, documentaries etc, you don't need a licence, all you need is enough money to buy airtime or enough goodwill with the powers that be in any given t.v. station. Goodwill is more affordable 'because a single 30mins slot on AIT and NTA network costs over 500, 000.
For foreign broadcast materials however, you need waivers from both the source abroad and I think our own regulatory body as well( though I'm not entirely sure of the local waiver-if it's truly necessary i.e)
@Seun: u didn't really think I'd end this without a few words for you,did you? Stop editing my postings like God almighty!!!!

@Arare:
T.V stations are always in need of presenters. If you're good, and u've got confidence, just walk in to see their HR.
You could also try LINK65, it's the newest on the block and it's recruiting. All the best

@junegirl,
On a very serious note, i would love to work in the media industry in Nigeria. i would prefer to start with Radio presenting like Olisa, Dan Foster etc. and maybe move to TV later. This is more of a chidhood dream and I guess i could pull it off if i fall into da right hands.
I am into business management (student) in the UK right now and may end up in the financial sector, but i have a passion for media. Any advices? Courses to take, people to discuss with. Your help would be appreciated

@Romeo
Thanx jare, guess Rodent was just trying to live up to his name.
@Waxxy
You sure u won't be better off in the financial sector? Believe me, media work is the most tedious work on earth. You'll be overworked and underpaid and most of all, it's going to take up all your time, and life. But if u can endure, u'll be famous, u'll know powerful people and u'll go places. Your work will open doors for you and eventually you may make the money after all. But men, u go don suffer o. I'm not trying to discourage you, I just want you to know whassup.
Another option is for you to go the Pat Utomi way: make money in the finance sector, then float an independent programme.

Romeo. romeo let your ignorance not show romeo,
No tis not a big deal to work in the media however if one requires a marketing person it would stand to logical reason to ask,
People who can't see beyond their noses and utter the first thought that pervades their minds are such irritants
It would be appropriate to garner some facts,
