Lagos Television (LTV) is the official television station of Lagos State — Africa's largest city and one of the fastest-growing megacities on Earth. With a metropolitan population exceeding 21 million people, Lagos is Nigeria's economic capital, the hub of Nollywood (the world's second-largest film industry), and the epicenter of afrobeats — the music genre that has conquered the globe through artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.
Lagos is a city of extraordinary energy, creativity, and contradictions. It generates over 30% of Nigeria's GDP, hosts the Nigerian Stock Exchange, and is home to a tech startup ecosystem ("Yaba Valley") that has produced Africa's first decacorn companies. Simultaneously, it faces massive challenges in infrastructure, traffic, and housing. LTV covers all dimensions of this complex, vibrant megacity.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country (220 million people) and largest economy. Lagos Television has been on air since 1977, making it one of the oldest television stations in the country. The channel serves as an essential information source for Lagosians and provides a window into one of the world's most dynamic cities for the Nigerian diaspora and international audiences.
