This paper is a historical discourse on the development and the political framework of television broadcasting in Nigeria. It also explores the influence of politics in the emergence of the medium of television, and its imperative in Nigerian politics. It argues that the political gimmick, culture and counterculture characteristic of the Nigerian polity was germane to the establishment of television stations in Nigeria. I utilise the literary and descriptive methodological investigative approaches to investigate the imperative of television in the Nigerian political landscape. Among other findings, the study reveals that the birth of television in Nigeria is rooted in the Nigerian political situation of the First Republic, and that television is imperative in the growth and positive change and development of Nigeria. This research concludes that television and politics in Nigeria intersect. In Nigeria, this medium of communication is a force to reckoned with. Hence, the study recommends that positive reforms and modifications should be made by the National Broadcasting Commission in the operation of television broadcasting. Furthermore, these reforms should be adhered to, so that the aim and objectives of the positive transformation in television broadcasting in Nigeria can be achieved.
