The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has warned Africa Independent Television (AIT) to be careful in its usage of “user-generated content from the social media” on Kakaaki Social, a recent introduction to the early-morning show that extracts social-media comments on current political developments.

The warning was contained in a letter obtained by SaharaReporters and dated October 15, from Francisca Aiyetan on behalf of NBC’s Director of Broadcast Monitoring to the Managing Director of DAAR Communications Plc, titled ‘Social Media Segment of KAKAAKI: Need For caution’.

“It has come to the notice of the National Broadcasting Commission that a new segment was recently introduced In your flagship programme, Kakaaki, which makes use of user generated content from the social media,” read the letter.

“While this may be permissible, we advise you to ensure the utmost professionalism is employed in order to maintain editorial responsibility as indicated in our earlier letter dated 21st June, 2018 on the use of trending issues on social media.

“For the avoidance of doubt please note the following section of Nigeria broadcasting code; section 5.6.3 and 5.6.4

“Section 5.6.3: Broadcast shall take responsibility for all user generated content used on their medium

“Section 5.6.4: Material from user generated source shall meet all provision of the code.

“Please ensure compliance to avoid sanction.”

Since premiering on AIT Kakaaki on August 7, Kakaaki Social has gained widespread acclaim, numerous viewers praising both the station and its presenter, Ohimai Godwin Amaize, for providing a refreshing platform for the amplifying of social-media voices.

tvc own is even worse, soon they will ban nairaland too. tvc always promote Apc government, and still they blow their lies and propaganda on their platform. thank God that Nigerians are much aware of their mission. tvc is worst in broadcasting.

AIT is an arm of PDP, I can't waste my time to watch that biased station.

Naychuzzy:


Did you even go to school at all? If yes, what did your dumb ass lecturer tell you about the concept or definition of a tyrant.. You stupid fools better be careful. Continuity remains the key, and not all these BS y'all pulling.

Mumu

Make dem no do their work again? Its obvious self delusion is APCs motto. no wonder they don't want people to see and hear the real word out on the street, as it practically nullifies their rigging plans for 2019.

ait is better than tvc 100%

The DG of NBC can censor content all he wants. He loses his job come 2019.

smh

I love that segment alot


Reading those comments relieves me of those morning stress of being a Nigerian

NBC controlled by BMC =Buhari the terrorist asslickers/Zombies

lordkush:

To those of you talking nonsense here about TVCNews, you have no idea about about journalism.

TVCNews brings good and credible content and even from very credible professionals.

They are even unbiased and air content as it is without bias or one-sided.

Journalist Hangout and other documentaries they air is even one of the reasons why I'm almost completely glued to TVCNews. I'm still an ardent follower of Channels TV too but TVCNews is gradually becoming a media outlet to beat.

Is Ait even a TV station? I'd rather watch NTA than watch that quality content bereft channel.

:Dh

This is a taste of their medicine. They did this in 2015 and now they want people to take the higher road. No way.

What's a better definition of tyranny in the face of suppending our constitution and selective justice?

Funny the way some people are saying AIT is an arm of PDP. Nigerians and their myopic sense, you have suddenly forgotten the aggressive way they criticized GEJ government in 2014/2015. They are private station, they have to do whatever they can to put themself in limelight and supporting sitting government will not. They will always criticize sitting government, BUT THEY SHOULD DO IT THE RIGHT WAY
