In Gombe South Local Government Area (LGA) of Gombe State, television broadcasting plays a significant role in communicating national policies to rural and urban populations. Television, with its visual and auditory appeal, provides an effective medium for reaching diverse audiences, offering detailed explanations of complex policies and encouraging public participation in the democratic process (Aliyu & Adebayo, 2024; Jibril & Musa, 2023). This study explores the role of television broadcasting in national policy advocacy in Gombe South LGA, focusing on how TV programs contribute to the awareness, understanding, and engagement of citizens with national policies.
