NBC Shuts 52 Broadcast Stations – Full List

THE National Broadcasting Commission on Friday directed 52 broadcast stations in the country to shut down their operations.

On the list include the African Independent Television/Raypower FM, Silverbird Television/Rhythm FM stations and broadcasting corporations run by various state governments.

NBC said the directive became necessary following debts incurred by the broadcasting organisations amounting to at least N2.6bn.

The Director-General of the NBC, Balarabe Ilelah, disclosed this to journalists at the NBC headquarters in Abuja. He said all the television and radio stations affected must halt operations in the next 24 hours.
