The history of Christian media organizations in Nigeria dates back to the 1960s when Christian broadcasting began in the country. Here's the genesis.
In 1960s, Christian broadcasting started with the establishment of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) and the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC). Christian programs were aired on these state-owned stations.
In 1970s, Christian organizations like the Nigerian Christian Broadcasting Commission (NCBC) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) began to emerge, focusing on Christian programming and broadcasting.
In 1980s, private Christian Radio Stations like Radio ELWA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) and Radio Voice of Redemption (RVR) were established, marking the beginning of independent Christian broadcasting in Nigeria.
In 1990s, Christian television stations like Channels TV (founded by John Momoh) and Omega TV (founded by Pastor Fidelis Okafor) emerged, expanding Christian media presence in Nigeria.
2000s, more Christian radio and TV stations were established, including Loveworld TV (founded by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome), Dunamis TV (founded by Pastor Paul Enenche), and others.
Today, Nigeria has numerous Christian media organizations, including radio and TV stations, online platforms, and print media, reaching millions of people with the Gospel message.
