Introduction

Broadcasting has been fully democratized in Nigeria, giving rise to multiplicity of broadcast stations. There are currently about 200 television stations, while radio stations now number over 600 in the country, not to mention online stations.  Each of these stations vie for quality programs to deliver on their core mandates of information dissemination, education, entertainment, commercial services, as well as social mobilization and cultural cohesion in the nation.

The broadcast media are here to stay, strengthened even more by the advances in technology to reach the far ends of the world.  But challenged by the growing citizen journalism, the need to groom more professional broadcasters has become more urgent today than ever before.

Broadcasting is an exciting professional world. In the words of Andrew Boyd, et al, “few professions can match broadcast journalism for its rewards in terms of job satisfaction, interest, variety, excitement, experiences, creativity – and for the select few – fame and wealth.”

The SMC Certificate Course in Broadcasting (CCB) is poised to prepare modern professional broadcasters to fill the skill gaps in the industry.  Our state-of-the-art radio and television studios, our industry-formed faculty, coupled with our trendy editing suites will ensure that participants graduate being industry-ready.
