The television industry in Nigeria is a highly competitive one. More privately owned stations are springing up by the day to give the government owned stations a run for their money. Television stations are now forced to come up with quality programming to ensure they have a good audience base or they’re booted out of the market. Here’s list of Television Stations in Nigeria, their owners and slogans.
