Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has kickstarted the Kwara Television 24-hour transmission on Tuesday, after twenty-five years of not transmitting.
The development represents a first in the history of the broadcast station which was established over two decades ago. The switch, which makes Kwara TV available on StarTimes, Channel 113 and Free TV Channel 502, is one of the steps towards making it available on DSTV.
The Governor turned on the 24-hour transmission switch at exactly 4:06 pm (WAT), calling it another milestone that would be built upon with massive deployment of modern technology, local contents, and rich human resources available in the state.
“Today, history is again being made as we are not only breathing life back to Kwara TV but we are also graduating it to 24-hour broadcast. Kwara TV is one of the legacies of the founding fathers of this state. Like many such institutions, Kwara TV gradually decayed. Like Radio Kwara did. Today we are proud to have Radio Kwara leading the pack in the state with 24-hour broadcast,” AbdulRazaq said.
“This afternoon, we are putting Kwara TV back on a sound footing. As we relaunch Kwara TV today, I assure you of our commitment to see it at the top with the right investments and support.
"The opposition talks about the last election being a fluke. How can it be a fluke when none of the media houses was working in 2019? Radio Kwara was off the air. Herald was not printing and Kwara TV was like that. How can a reasonable government go to elections without its media arm? It is just a fallacy," the Governor said.
