The broadcasting industry has really come a long way since the 70s, 80s, and even 90s. From having poor audio and video qualities before, a lot of the new-age channels including those still running have all upgraded to at least moderately acceptable AV quality. However, over the course of change, there are a lot of stations that lost their popularity over time. However, the three tv stations below are among the top in this category.

DBN



Slogan – “Global brand with African Origin”
Degue Broadcasting Network was the first private TV station and also one of the most-viewed stations in Nigeria from the mid to late 90s. With many great programs to their name, the one that always had Nigerians tuning in by 9 pm was “Night Shift” because it gave viewers the power to choose what movie would be shown that night. The station also made Marvin Gaye’s “Nightshift” popular because that was the soundtrack for the show.

MBI



Slogan – “Simply The Best”
Minaj Broadcasting International was well known for their love for local content. In truth, save for AIT and NTA that have been running since 1996 and 1977 respectively, no other TV station has shown their love for content made in Nigeria than MBI. A lot of Nollywood series and movies were always shown on the TV station during their broadcast run.

Super Screen



Slogan – “SuperScreen for culture, for family”
Super Screen had a wonderful knack for showing the best cartoons and Hollywood TV series. At a time when Channels TV began dwindling in the cartoons area during their transition to the current news/info station they currently are, Super Screen saved a lot of sad children (like me) from missing out on their much-needed daily dose of cartoons and TV series.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'. A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.' Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after th
