Group B project
The station started as a provincial Broadcasting station in 1957
for relaying programmes from the defunct N.B.C Kaduna and
Lagos. At that time, it had total of only one hour of broadcasting
of local programmes. Thus it was then seen just as a relaying
station for most of its programmes from 5.30 to 11.00pm daily
on the medium wave (MV)
RADIO SERVICE
At that time in history, the radio station has five (5) Transmitter
located at Gubio and Baga Roads. At that time it broadcasts for
19 hours from 5.00am to 12.00mid-night. With time all the
Transmitters become old and non-functional.
As of the early 1990s, the only functional Transmitter was the
FM Transmitter whose reception was limited to some parts of
the state capital instead of the whole state. This unfortunate
scenario forced the military Government to procure two(2) New
50 KWs solid state Transmitters in January 1996 and were
supplied in November of the same year, but could not be
installed by the
successive administration to data.
TELEVISION ARM
The Television started transmission on a 1kw UHF Transmitter
on the Channel 38 in 1983 up to 1991. At its peak the transmitter
which was serving only the state capital has since grounded.
OPERATIONS
The station mostly runs its services on Government, it has a
number of serviceable Generator sets, and it has the following
departments.
