The Nigerian electorate in recent years has been intensely individualistic groups. Hence political
parties usually confront pro-found cultural differences given the cultural structure of the Nigerian
electorate.
Independent Television Benin is an electronic media with visual and audio sounds. It is an
effective spontaneous messages carrier of our time. On 27th of March 1997 when Independent
Television started transmission of programmers‟ on channel 22 with its slogan certainly the Best,
the station radically changed the horizon of broadcasting in it coverage area. Independent
television came with a new millennium. The zeal of the founding father Sir Chief (Dr) Gabriel
Osawaru Igbinedion the Esama of Benin kingdom, who after a careful study of the broadcast
media yearned for an enhancement of the choice available to viewers to a level comparable to
what is obtained in developed countries. Chief Igbinedion‟s dream culminated in the approval
and subsequent presentation of a license by the formal Head of state General Ibrahim Babagida
on 36th June 1993, at the Ladi Kwali hall of Sheraton Hotel and Tower Abuja. It goes down in
history that Independent Television was the first private owned broadcasting station in Nigeria to
receive a private license No.001 on that memorable day.
Having obtained the Franchise, Sir Chief (Dr).Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin
Kingdom went straight to work by rendering standard skeletal services under the umbrella of

Television, which resulted in the sitting of the station at Igwsa because of the high attitude of the

installed Independent television a pair of its best transmitters of Ten kilowatts capacity,
transmitting on channel 22UHF. Independent Television which commended fully transmission
on the 27th March, 1997 watts stronger with fans growing in leaps and bounds by the day.

administrator Group Captain Baba Adamu Iyam played host to the management and staff of
Independent television.
Nigeria broadcasting code is the compass that directs the affairs of Independent Television and

also approved channel 42UHF for Independent Television to transmit its program in the federal
capital territory. The license was presented to the investor, the Esama of Benin kingdom, on the
17th of December 1999. Independent Television Benin satisfies curiosity by allowing one to hear
