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

nazicartel:
but no be lie nah... let me even check what they're showing now

tonyimadu:
But then the solution cannot be found in the past leadership. It can only be found in the present and future.
So it would not be too wise to spend more energy in criticism of the past.
More of our time should be spent in watching this current government.
The changes we need cannot be found in the past.

pannyman:
You're right. He even changed the logo of NTA. After Obasanjo left power, Iredia was appointed and he proceeded to reverse with malice every reform carried out by Ben Murray-Bruce, including bringing back the changed logo. Ben did a lot to modernise NTA but most of the staff did not want change. They were more comfortable with mediocrity.

From the colours (brown) to even the name Nigerian television authority. What authority? NTA as it is is currently stuck in the 70s. Their ways of working, programmes, production and even presenters.
I remember Ben Bruce worked with NTA and the logo changed under his leadership but when he left, they reverted to this drab crap. NTA just like a good number of Government agencies needs to be overhauled.

Basic problem with NTA is

1.Finance.

BBC is the world's news leader. It is also a government owned organisation whose funding comes from something called a TV licence...which costs 140 POUNDS STERLING per annum.

Everyone in the UK with a TV pays that money, and that includes foreign residents. Even illegal immigrants pay!If you don't pay, you get into trobule.

The licence fees form a large chunk of the BBC's funding.

NTA needs funding...and a budget of less than 800million naira for the Information ministry is not going to fund the NTA.

2.NTA was good in the 1970's and 80'S. In my opinion, the problems started when all the innovative NTA people retired...and their replacements were boring civil servants. Sorry, but a TV station is not run by BORING civil servants.

Ben Bruce , when he came in in 1999, tried for NTA....but the BORING civil servants frustrated him out of office.....

Ziggylady:
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

Just2endowed2:
But a certain guy tried to change the way nta was, he even change the logo but unfortunately, some underdeveloped individuals that sees no future decided to reverse the logo to the ancient logo and reverse all innovation to primitive times of broadcasting.

tactius:
I'm not a fan of Bruce, but the guy TRIED to make NTA a much better place.

Acidosis:
the glory of NTA lies in its mediocrity.

enemmo:
Ben Bruce wanted to help their ministry, he even changed their archaic logo, they sacked him and changed it back.
They are not ready to change

happybrother:
Probably you may not know that Ben Bruce repackaged NTA but one Iredia came and vindictively turned everything back to square zero. From Corporate logo to programming.

SarkinYarki:
he changed the logo then to something sweet and modern only for its be returned back to that ugly thing ..He made all the stations to be able to broadcast real time to the network

HisSexcellency:
Every DG of NTA seems to lose his senses onces he is there. There is something terribly wrong somewhere, a dramatic overhaul of personnel is what that station needs. Let square pegs be put in square holes.

olas24u:
It rather prefer the pursuit of politicians and the dissemination of false news from the government.

nazicartel:
sports channel that shows 1994 Olympic

mightyokwy:
There soundtrack is most awkward sound i have ever heard in my entire life. Same soundtrack is over 35 years.

HisSexcellency:
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.
