Why do several banks and corporate institutions in Nigeria show only CNN (Cable News Network) on their public television screens?

Does CNN pay the banks for this "public service"?

Are there not any Nigerian television stations, which broadcast news, that can take up this space?

Lol

Exactly, though the branches of UBA,Zenith, Diamond Access in my alma mater UNIZIK, also show Channels TV and NTAi

You want them to be showing NTA? Customers go sleep off

If you use local channels, the competing banks might be displaying their advert right inside your hall.

Apart from that, CNN is best to stay in touch with market trends

Make them show Zee world make the female bankers document deposit of 1M instead of 1thousand, abi?

You have a point there. That's a good reason.

However, a few Nigerian banks also advertise on CNN.

The video graphics of CNN are more entertaining than those of the local channels.

The banks main motive is to entertain you while you wait, not to update you with news.

They just stylishly embedded entertainment inside news.

Local stations will show other Banks advertisement

CNN is by far better
