25-year old Kwara State Television will begin a 24-hour live broadcast from its broadcasting station in Ilorin, the state capital next Monday with local content.

The state Commissioner for Communication, Mr Olabode Towoju, who disclosed this to journalists in Ilorin on Saturday said, “This live transmission will also witness the commencement of local content that will align with the core values and culture of the good people of Kwara State.

“On the 1st of February, 2022, we were all excited to witness the switching on of the 24 hours live transmission of the KWTV for the first time in 25 years and we were very impressed with the quality of the picture production and sound quality.

“The transformation of the Kwara TV is an outcome of a critically thought-out process which started with the appointment of a thorough bred professional as the General Manager.

Kwara Television station was established in 1997 by the state government to propagate the activities of government and the people of the state.

Towoju said “It is a pleasure to witness the commencement of the live transmission of programmes in our one and only television station in Kwara State, the Kwara State Television Authority, popularly known as the KWTV.

“Likewise, His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has been giving support to the repositioning of Kwara TV and the other two state-owned media houses.

“Part of this is seen in the establishment of two new radio stations, Kakakin FM in Ilorin and Nootia FM in Okuta; the 24 hours live broadcast of Radio Kwara and the work done in the Kwara State Printing and Publishing Corporation, the publishers of The Herald Newspapers.

“The resolve of the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is to ensure that the three media houses owned by Kwara State are steadily transformed to the best in the North- Central and ultimately in our dear country, Nigeria.

“Viewers of the Kwara State Television are going to enjoy a new and scintillating experience in television broadcasting as the station has lined up an array of locally produced programmes in line with the values of educating, entertaining and enlightening the public.
