BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In the 21st century, television is an important means of communication that can be used for a variety of purposes, including the dissemination of information, the education of audiences, the entertainment of audiences, and the persuasion of audiences. The provision of vision as part of mass communication is a strength that television possesses. The programs that are broadcast are both a means of attracting an audience and a means of determining whether or not the station can remain profitable. According to Ogbuoshi (2005), television is an electronic medium that conveys both visual and aural information. The social and psychological development of children and adolescents is impacted by television to a significant degree. The public's interest can be better served and a deeper understanding of the world can be gained thanks to the contributions of television. Ibadan was the location in Nigeria where television broadcasting first began in 1959. Initially known as western Nigerian television, the station was later renamed Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Ibadan. People are impacted differently by television depending on the kind of content they consume and the amount of time they spend in front of the screen. The government makes provisions for the implementation of measures that regulate and prohibit the transmission of particular programs. They prohibit the dissemination of information and methods that might put the viewing population in danger. Consequently, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission has in recent times sanctioned some stations over breach of professional conduct (Aliyu, 2010). The study seeks to appraise the attitude of youth towards viewership of NTA programs in Nigeria. A case study of youths in Gboko metropolis, Benue State.
