Nah, it can't be AIT. AIT opened in 1997, we watched DBN and Clapperboard as far back as 1994. Even channels TV opened before AIT
Clapperboard was way before 1994....

No more future free VAT money for them to keep spreading their propaganda? Subsidy Free money is gone !!!!!! ✌🏾✌🏾
This is either a case of poor management or how economically down the north is ....private media broadcasters are springing up daily that you can't even lay count anymore.

Maybe because they are in north of nigeria

Cos in South of nigeria, with fake woli or pastor daily work program on radio, it has made fm radio business lucrative

muslim don't spend on program on radio

Wow!. I respect your memory. Back back in the days in Lagos!
DBN and Minaj were more like the first era of privately owned television networks. AIT and superscreen followed, I guess

Channels started around 95/96.



Could be true. Galaxy has been operating in Ibadan years before opening a station in Lagos in the early 2000s. As far as those of us in Lagos can remember, it was DBN and Clapperboard that were the private TV stations that rescued us from the borefest called NTA in the early 90s. This Ditv claiming to be the first private TV station in Nigeria is not remotely familiar to me in anyway. Google says their station is in Ikeja Lagos and I've never heard of it? They should take it easy with the lies abeg
If their office is in Ikeja, that should be Agindingbi. They should be one distributing Cable Tv in late 90s
Re: DITV: Nigeria’s First Private TV Station Suspends Operation by abidot(m): 8:46pm On Dec 01, 2024
It's either clapperboard or cabletel

When things dey ok, whom you tell?
Your customers don't feel your impact, hence they shifted to other valuable stations!

Hmm! One of my favorite analog TV channels as a boy in the early 2000s in KD. I remember Ghost busters, Sumurai X, and Adventures of Sam.

Galaxy was the first, 1994
