The Managing Director of Abuja Broadcasting Corporation, owners of Aso Television and Radio Services, Mallam Ibrahim Ndanusa, Thursday said improved contents and supports from the FCT minister, Mohammad Bello made DSTV to accept them.
Mallam Ndanusa told journalists in an interactive session that, the station, apart from being on DSTV, is currently on Arab Sat and Star time, which can be watched from any parts of the world.
He said the feat remains one of the biggest achievements of the present FCT Administration.
The MD assured that the management would improve on such achievements by creating competitive contents that will attract more audience, which according to him, will translate to more money for the station.
”When the FCT minister, Mallam Musa Bello visited here, he asked us to run our operation like an enterprise and this involves strategic steps, which include quality engineering work, quality signal and be on multi-platforms like DSTV, Arab Sat and Star time to enhance our marketing ability,”
He said the two stations were working harder to increase news coverage by covering all the six Area Councils and extending coverage to adjourning states.
“We will be sending correspondents to some strategic states in an efforts to expand our coverage and strengthening our marketing strategy,”
On infrastructure, the MD said due to termites and rodents infestation of State of the art Radio studio, the management was reworking the studio, which he said would be better equipped and protected going forward.
He thanked the staff for their efforts to move the organisation forward and pleaded with them to double the efforts to move the stations higher.
