Millions of Lagos residents will stop receiving TV signal in the next six months as the city switches off analogue transmission, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has said.
Its Acting Director-General, Prof Armstrong Idachaba, who spoke in Lagos, said no fewer than five million households would be able to view over 30 stations free of charge as long as they have Set Top Boxes (STBs).
Idachaba said the Commission has licensed 140 terrestrial television stations and indigenous STB manufacturers.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said already, there over one million STBs for 5 million TV households in the state.
