Simply know that NTA won't change simply because every government in power needs their own propaganda machine.

So long as it remains in government hands politicians and quota system dictates it's direction.

Truth is NTA itself is still living on past glory where every one watched them because they had no options, they are far from customers reality because government money would always come irrespective of what people think.

One of their presenters still boasted of 50m listeners, I laughed


I only watch CNN, Aljazeera so much so that only Channels and TVC are the same only stations I manage in Nigeria

oga you want to spoil the colour of your TV screen, who does that? NTA!!!! Chai ,if your TV is LG flat screen, we will sue you for TV abuse. Except you are watching from sharp 12inches.

The last time I watched that station was in 2004 or something! That terrible day when ADC aircraft went down 4min after take off. All other stations were live update trying to locate the crash site. Only NTA was busy showing cassava green leaves.

Reference:
The last person who advanced the station was Ben Bruce. He went through hell and high water and was eventually kicked out. A few years later if memory serves me well a proposal was made to privatise it but was rejected by government on the premise that government needed a media house it controlled . There you are. NTA is government and a reflection of government in everyway.... steady decline.

He went through hell.
I wondered how they could let him go then in my kid-mind.
The guy trieeeed.

Then Iredia reversed it!
When I saw the logo reversal, that was the last time I watched NTA2 5

If individually owned stations can update transmitters and other equipment to provide quality broadcasting, why can't NTA do same. Are the managers of those others stations not Nigerians too.


Allow me to help with that.

The current D.G of NTA is an old retiree who left station almost a decade ago. He had an extremely poor record but because he knew the then Gov of Bauchi state, M.A, he was installed as a puppet to lie Mohammed.

Even his executive Directors where not approved or choosen by him.

Now during that time before his appointment, NTA had some of its best workers who had excellent performance, during thier time & had a few months to retire, they where 4 in number, they could fill d position of DG & EDs with even 2 slots to spare. Even the junior workers were expecting them to take over, But thier names where struck down & replaced when it got to d minister of Information office.

Currently majority of the talented staffs of NTA have left & are working with d likes of TVC, Channels TV etc.


Jonathan might be incompetent when it comes to appointment of d right people, BuT BUHARI IS EXTREMELY SUPER INCOMPETENT*5 when choosing people for d right job

NTA with there wide spread network all over the country is supposed to be generating a lot of money for itself but every year millions are budgeted to maintain the self acclaimed largest tv network in africa. Ben bruce tried rebranding it when he was its director but some people enjoy nta to still be like nta of year 1960. If the idea of privatization crops up, its still the redudant and ineffective staffs that will protest because of there personal intrests.

Its a reflection of the state of things in this hell hole of a country. Its like a curse that everything government owned in this country will never work.
As long as illiterate northerners who seem to have a rabid aversion to anything called development are in every sector of the country we will eternally remain stagnated.

Came back this morning from church only to discover that my cable subscription has expired, so i tuned to the only available channel NTA.

I haven't watched NTA for God knows how long now, i was totally disappointed with what was showing on my tv screen, the picture quality and lighting was very poor, audio quality was awful. It was as if i was teleported by to the 1970s or something.

We are in the 21st century for God sake, what will it cost the management of NTA to overhaul the stations. I believe they get budgets annually running into billions. Privately owned and managed tv stations like Channels, Tvc, Arise, Silverbird, AIT, etc are miles ahead of a supposedly more financed NTA. And what's with the archaic dirty brown colour combination, can't the colours of the station be changed to something more appealing and brighter? Or do we need a two- third majority of the national assembly to rebrand NTA.

For over 20 years ministers come and go and no one thought it wise to rebrand the station, if it involves sacking some persons to get the station running let the needful be done. NTA is supposed to be a national brand and pride, but what we currently have today is nothing to write home about.

I couldn't spare 3 minutes to watch the station today because it was a torture to the eyes and sense of good taste.
Let the appropriate persons sit up and save the only national tv we have as at today.

YouTube vlogger have far better quality video than NTA and they pay those civil servants many millions of naira as salary, cars and building.
