Background of the Study:
Digital migration, characterized by the shift from analog to digital broadcasting, has significantly reshaped media consumption patterns worldwide. In Asaba Local Government, Delta State, traditional television is undergoing a transformation as viewers increasingly shift towards digital platforms for entertainment and information (Obi, 2023). This transition is driven by the superior quality, interactivity, and on-demand nature of digital media, which offer viewers a more personalized experience. Despite these advantages, traditional television still holds cultural significance, and many viewers in Asaba remain attached to established broadcast formats. The coexistence of digital and traditional media presents both opportunities and challenges. While digital migration promises enhanced access to diverse content, it also raises questions about the sustainability of conventional television broadcasting and its role in shaping public opinion (Chukwu, 2024). This study investigates how digital migration influences traditional television consumption patterns in Asaba, analyzing the implications for media providers and consumers in a rapidly evolving digital era.
