Among the major channels available are Channels TV, Arise News, AIT, TVC, News Central, NTA, NTA Sports 24, Trust TV and Wazobia TV, alongside dozens of regional and specialised broadcasters.

The government said the expanded channel lineup reflects its commitment to strengthening digital broadcasting and offering Nigerians more free television viewing options under the FreeTV initiative.

The release of the complete channel lineup is part of the Federal Government’s broader plan to complete Nigeria’s transition from analogue to digital broadcasting.
