NBC’s Director General, Mr. Emeka Mba said during a working visit to the corporate head office of CWG in Lagos that the visit afforded the NBC the opportunity of inspecting CWG’s satellite facility that will serve as the support base for the soon to be launched SES digital TV platform.
Mba, who was welcomed by Mr. Gbenga Odegbami, the company’s Head, Presales through a brief presentation, praised CWG’s vision in introducing a free to air DTH TV to the Nigerian broadcasting climate.
According to him, “the idea of a free to air satellite TV platform is novel to the TV experience of average Nigerians. Its coverage capacity will be instrumental in our quest to take quality broadcasting to every corner of the nation. More so, it will allow indigenous stations compete competently and affordably with regional and global ones, in terms of picture and content quality.”
Addressing the delegation, Mr. Austin Okere, Founder and Chief Executive Officer CWG, commended the NBC for its efforts in ensuring that the nation beats the ITU June 17 deadline for migration to digital TV broadcasting.
