Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) plays a crucial role in broadcasting information to the public in Nigeria. The transmitter system is a vital component of the NTA's infrastructure, responsible for transmitting television signals across the country. However, the transmitter system is susceptible to failures which can disrupt the broadcasting service provided by the NTA. This research project aims to investigate the failure frequencies of the transmitter system of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to the failure frequencies of the transmitter system. The quantitative analysis will involve collecting data on the number of transmitter system failures over a specific period, categorizing the types of failures, and analyzing the frequency of each type of failure. This data will provide valuable insights into the common issues that lead to transmitter system failures. In addition to the quantitative analysis, qualitative interviews will be conducted with technical experts, engineers, and other relevant stakeholders involved in the maintenance and operation of the transmitter system. These interviews will explore their perspectives on the causes of transmitter system failures, the challenges faced in maintaining the system, and potential solutions to reduce the failure frequencies. By combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative insights from key stakeholders, this research project aims to identify the root causes of transmitter system failures at the NTA. The findings of this study will contribute to the body of knowledge on broadcasting infrastructure maintenance and provide valuable recommendations for improving the reliability and efficiency of the transmitter system. Ultimately, the goal of this research project is to help the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) enhance the performance of its transmitter system, reduce downtime, and ensure uninterrupted broadcasting services to the public. By understanding the failure frequencies of the transmitter system and addressing the underlying issues, the NTA can improve the overall reliability and quality of its broadcasting infrastructure, fulfilling its mandate to provide timely and accurate information to the Nigerian population.
