That Channel is the worst ever...the NTA sport 24 can make one shoot himself

I swear very useless channel, you can even commit suicide while watching NTA sport. Very poor sound, poor sport content, continuous repetition of past sporting activities , No live matches even when Nigeria team is playing

That is our NTAi. That is NTA International. Listen to most of their news and other programmes, u will be hearing other staff at the background gisting and laughing. Sometimes u will hear cockerel crowing at the background that I start asking whether this studio is not equipped with noise filter or whatever they call it or do they broadcast from someone's backyard.

NTA....Ndi Ara.

Your Been Bruce is a bad manager, he is like a Chinese phone. Which is meant to last for a short period of time. Why didn't he make his innovations last like a German Machine? All he did in the NTA spoiled before he left. grin

Irrational logic.
That the place started doing bad wen he left does not mean he did not do well.
Some people may have use the opportunity of his exit to kill the corporation.
They couldn't do it wen he was around. That means he was a good manager.

It was even Ben Bruce that rebranded it from the parlous state it originally was. Its on record that it was during his tenure that live broadcast started, the station started broad casting 247, state of the art equipment were procured and welfare of staff were improved, but ever since he left, the station has experienced a downward spiral in hands of the Aboki management. Almost all their entire staff are from the north, and I won't be out of place to rename the station, Northern Television Authority

Abeg, go and sit down.
With all the jagons you wrote. You will be a worst manager than that Aba made, Ben Bruce. grin

How can you say that??
Ben Bruce re-branded NTA!
Have you forgotten the silvery letters of NTA then?
It was a delight to watch then, young and beautiful people were anchoring programs.
They pioneered the morning shows then with different very entertaining segments.

Then bad belle enter.
Ben Bruce was accused of financing Silverbird with NTA money (imagine such nuisance!)
The next MD, like Ambode did to Fashola`s legacy, reversed everything including the silvery modern NTA letters back to this ugly brown you are complaining about!

When old men are at the helms of affair, they prefer never to change things or encourage innovation or creativity!

olas24u don`t mind Almaiga, he is one of the bad belle I was talking about!


Ok, so this was what your Ben Bruce did with NTA's money, meant to upgrade the NTA? This is an eye opener. Ben Bruce will never go unpunished.

You guys are so berefit of truth and sound mind,crude,archaic and lacking in logical thinking...

It is on record that NTA had remarkable changes when Ben Bruce was in charge,with very modern equipments as at that time especially NTA2Channel5 so get away with your stuppidd lies

Stop all this lies. If Business are build to last for a short period of time as your Ben Bruce did, there won't be rich men like Dangote, Dantata, Almaiga, Dankabo e.t.c

They even went all over the world filmimg the 'the 7 sisters' about the 7 biggest oil companies sponsoring coups, assasinations, genocide etc for decades in the name of oil and profit, shell, chevron, eni, texaco etc those are really evil corporations. Aljazeera also has beauros on all the continents bringing live reports. Relevant events like the migrant crisis, syria, trade wars, venezuela, mueller probe, brexit etc are all covered as they happen live and direct while NTA is busy showing nonsense still. NTA shoul just be scrapped honestly

Same logo for close to 40 years

Rubbish content

CNN beamed from halfway around the world is HD with crisp audio, NTA beamed a stone's throw from our doorsteps is ugly mutated rubbish.

While we're in the subject can we pls get those presenters of AIT, TVC, Channels etc to drop the fake and annoying accent that's neither Nigerian, American or English?

Nollywood too needs an accent makeover, cos they sure speak weird.

Have you seen the nta studio building before? Its actually a normal bungalow. When other stations are using special purpose built studios with noise blocking glass windows, noise proof studio rooms, tight sealed doors and windows etc nta are using normal bungalo rooms with normal windows and doors for news broadcast, how you no go hear background noise and chicken crowing or car hones blaring or door opening. Mtsheeew very substandard shitzzz

Ben Bruce is a genius in entertainment and media. He revamped the morning shows and changed the outlook of NTA to a more youthful one,
silverbird cinemas sort of revolutionised the cinema industry in Ngr

His time in beauty paegents, he produced some of the finest queens not all these mushroom beauty contests we have today. He also used to be the compere..he was a good Mc.

I wonder why he decided to go into politics, Silverbird entertainment could have been much bigger.

Don't mind them. I always switch to Channels instead.

However, you people are to blame too. Don't watch NTA only when your subscription ends. Encourage them.

That's one of the many problem atiku's government intended solving.

You see, the government isn't good with business because its not suppose to behave like an aggressive investor going about profit-chase.

And the media industry is hyperdynamic. It changes all the time. Picture-producing equipments and transmission devices are update fast enough to keep up with consumers demand.

NTA isn't doing a bad jib anyway. The only bad thing I see is, it still being under government control.
you made the first sensible comment here. These people ranting here don't know how government establishments are run.

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.
my brother, where will the managers of NTA get the money to upgrade? You people don't understand what is happening in this country.

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.

What do you expect from NTA when the likes of Senator Ben Bruce attempted to turn it around from its laid back bureaucratic nature to a modern television station? He was eventually frustrated.

How is Ben Bruce a Genius? He practically ran his Entertainment and Media Company down. It is the PENCOM that is presently managing his media outfits.

Another irrational logic.

We are talking about hw he performed during his stay with NTA and hw the corporation performed/is performing after his exit.

What is the correlation between that and Silvernird?
