A statement issued by the NBC in Abuja on Tuesday, the regulatory agency, noted that after a detailed assessment of the current television market, it observed serious gaps in the content available to serve the social and economic needs of Nigerians.
It, therefore, invited prospective service providers to submit proposals for meeting the gaps as a preliminary step towards applying for licences.
The regulatory agency categorised FTV digital television into several genres, including general entertainment, kids, lifestyle, sports, movies/soaps/sitcoms, music, documentaries and factual/news.
“In keeping with the commission’s laid down procedure, successful applicants shall be invited to formally apply for licences to provide channel content in accordance with the National Broadcasting Act, the Nigeria Broadcasting Code and the Digital Terrestrial Television Regulations,” NBC's Director of Public Affairs, NBC, Mr. Awwalu Salihu said.
