Following the pilot launch of digital broadcasting in Jos, Plateau State on June 30, in line with the federal government’s plan to achieve nationwide digital switchover, GOtv has extended its digital terrestrial broadcasting service to Abeokuta, Ogun State.
While launching the service at the weekend, Gotv, which is partnership with the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to drive the digital terrestrial broadcasting revolution across the country, urged television lovers in the city to step-up to the digital age with GOtv.
Abeokuta becomes the 21st city that GOtv has launched its digital broadcasting services, having launched in Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Enugu, Benin, Aba, Owerri, Kano, Kaduna, Onitsha, Asaba, Uyo, Abuja, Calabar, Osogbo, Ife, Ogbomoso, Akure, Oyo, and Jos.
Addressing the media at the Abeokuta launch, the General Manager GOtv Nigeria, Mrs. Elizabeth Amkpa, said: “These cities have already been digitised and will have nothing to worry about when the analogue broadcasting signals are switched-off in Nigeria by June 17, 2015.”
