A television is a piece of electrical equipment with a screen on which programmes with moving pictures and sounds can be watched (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 2001). In 1959, the Regional Government of Western Nigeria established the first television station in Nigeria and in Africa. Even though it promoted the station as a means to educate the people about development and the world, it initially served as a means for an opposition leader to address the people of

Western Nigeria. The regional governments of Eastern and Northern Nigeria and the Federal Government in Lagos followed and started their own TV stations in the early 1960s. (Soji Alabi: 2010). All four of these stations basically existed to serve partisan political objectives for the various governments. Stations established after these four continued this same political and regionalist heritage. In 1973, a new surge of regional consciousness occurred after the Gowon military Government allowed the division of the country into 19 states.
