General TV Channel / The Voice of Nigeria (VON) is the official international broadcasting station of Nigeria. Founded in 1961, the Voice of Nigeria began life as the External Service of the then Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (now Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria).
Then Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa commissioned the service. The nation’s growing commitment informed the need to have an external channel through which authoritative information about the African situation could be disseminated to the entire world. Even then, its transmission, using a 10 kW HF transmitter, was limited to West Africa for two hours daily in English and French. Broadcast hours increased to six in 1963 with the commissioning of five prototype RCA 100 kW transmitters.
