Which is why today, we will be talking about these TV stations: Galaxy TV, HipTV, Lagos State Television (LTV), Murhi International Television (MiTV).

Lagos Television - The administration of Ahaji Lateef Jakande saw the need to establish a television station for the state. This among many other things had to do with the politics of that time, as the state government was not assured of the adequate media coverage of by the government owned NTA. Established in October 1980, Lagos Television commenced on November 9, 1980. The Lagos Television was the first TV station in Nigeria to operate on two frequencies/bands, the VHF and UHF. In September 1985, a mysterious fire destroyed the TV station, with the studios, offices, records and documents all burnt down.
