CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Nigeria
Television Authority Enugu was established in the year 1960 by the
Premier of an Eastern region of Nigeria Dr. Michael Okpara. It was the
oldest television station in Nigeria. It was received in the thirteen
states of the federation. The station has two studios and each of them
equipped with video cameras and microphones, because of the tempograph
of Enugu the studio and the transmitter are not con-sided.
The transmitter is located about 15 kilometers away from the studio. The station transmitters on 201.75mhz video and 196.25 audio, both local and network programmes are received from the station. In the year 2003 the station was upgraded to a zonal network center. The implication of the above is that the station not only now receives both, also transmitte’s both network news and programmes. The zone covers Abia State, Akwa-Ibom state, Anambra state, Benue state, Cross-River state, Ebonyi state, Enugu state, Imo state and Rivers state. It can be said that the zone and its stations are fulfilling their primary functions of informing, educating and entertainment.
The secondary function of NTA is that it creates employment opportunities
Economic
situation in Nigeria today and its attendant problems especially on the
purchasing power of her citizens has greatly affected television usage.
In line with the above is the incessant arrests and sometimes close
down of some media organizations in the country resulting from their
beautifully designed progremmes targeted at attracting viewers but found
provoking by the government.
The above mentioned problems in no small measure affected the smooth running of the mass media organization in Nigeria.
Therefore,
towards ensuring continuity in the business, it behooves the management
of the mass media organization to evolve survival strategies via
diversification of activities.
A remarkable survival strategy often adopted, especially in terms of
returns on the business and the creation of awareness is advertising.
i. Trust worthiness of the mass media organization one hand that of the sponsor n the other side.
ii. Prestige of the sponsor of the advertisement.
iii. The quality of product being advertised etc.
The
above mentioned variables or factors individually cannot influence
advertising effectively but rather concerted interactions of efforts of
these variables. Thus positive result can only be achieved by careful
implementation of these variables systematically by the mass media.
1.2 THE STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEMS TRIED TO LOOK INTO THE FOLLOWING.
1. How NTA Enugu use advertisements from their customers to generate revenue.
2. Whether the advertising strategies influence the
viewers/ customers.

1.6 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
In order to direct the
major activities for this study in finding solutions to the statement of
problems, the following hypotheses have been found relevant.
HYPOTHESIS ONE
Hi: Customers bring advertisements to NTA Enugu
Ho: Customers do not bring advertisements to NTA Enugu
HYPOTHESIS TWO
H2: NTA Enugu advertisements influence the customers and the advertising agencies / consumers
Ho: NTA Enugu advertisements do not influence the customers and the advertising agencies / consumers.
HYPOTHESIS THREE
H3: NTA Enugu generate a lot of revenue from such advertisements for their survival

Advertising according to Kotler (1993:100) is defined as any paid
form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or
services by identified sponsor. Besides, advertising per-se is a vehicle
through which manufacturing companies, producers of goods organization,
individuals etc communicate to their target audience.
Advertising is however, affected via the following channels.
i. Radio and television
ii. Outdoor displays (posters, bill boards) sign sky writing.
iii. Newspaper and magazine space.
iv. Direct mail
v. Novelties (match boxes, pen, calendars)
vi. Tear pads (car, bus)
vii. Catalogs.
viii. Directories (Yellow pages and circulars.
Further more, advertising has many purposes.
a. Long term build up of the organization corporate image (institutional advertising)
b. Long term build up for a particular brand (brand advertising)
c. Information dissemination about a sale or service or event (classified advertising)
d. Announcement of a special sale (sale or promotional advertising)
e. Advocacy of a particular cause (advocacy advertising)
Alternatively, Kotler (1993:150) opined that advertising objectives
can be classified as to whether their aims are to the following:
1.
Information advertising with primary demand. This strategy has been used
effectively in yogurt industry to inform customers of yogurts
nutritional benefits and many uses.
2. Persuasive advertising has been used effectively in the demand for
a particular brand. This strategy has been employed in the advertising
of spirits paste, tires, automobiles etc.
However, some persuasive
advertising has moved into category of comparison advertising, which
seeks to establish the superiority of one brand through specific
comparison with one or more other brand in the product class.
3.
Reminder advertising is highly important in the nature stage of the
product to keep customers thinking about the product. For example,
expensive four colours coca-cola in magazines has the purpose not of
informing or persuading but reminding people to purchase coca-cola.
Finally, the choice of the advertising objective according to Kotler
(1993:200) should be based on a through analysis of the current market
situation. For example, if the product is mature and the company is the
market leader, and if brand image is low, the proper objective should be
to stimulate more brand usage.
On the other hand, if the product is
new, and the company is not the market leader, but its brand is superior
to the leader, then the proper objective is to convince the market of
the brand superiority.
It is pertinent to mention here that different channels of advertising have different levels of persuability on the target audience for example, television combines images and goggles and others use appropriate stimulators.
This study is a focus on the effectiveness of television advertising
as a survival strategy of mass media organization. In other words, the
study is on how mass media organization can effectively manipulate its
advertising for the profitability of the organization.
Thus for a
successful implementation of effective advertising strategy, mass media
organizational design the following variables name:
i. Language creativity.
ii. Choice of appropriate page.
iii. Size of advertisement.
iv. Colour.
v. Nature and responsibility of communication.
vi. Credibility of the source of advertisement.
