Background of the Study
Television remains one of the most influential mass media channels in many parts of the world, including Nigeria. In recent years, it has become a key tool for public health campaigns aimed at promoting healthy behaviors and educating the public about various health issues. In Jos North LGA, Plateau State, public health campaigns on television have played an essential role in raising awareness on a range of health concerns such as maternal health, HIV/AIDS prevention, malaria control, and sanitation practices (Gidado & Adamu, 2023).

This study examines the impact of television as a public health campaign tool in Jos North LGA, focusing on its effectiveness in changing public health behaviors and promoting health awareness among the local population.
