Introduction
The study of broadcasting regulation started to
creep into the edges of the media studies curriculum. This wind of change
should be welcomed, because it will aid the apprehension of the major forces
that shape the communication environment. However, globalization in the face of
specialization necessitated probes in sections of the society by scholars in
the different areas. That is why media scholars cannot do without looking at
issues as they concern media practices. An appraisal of the statutes of
regulation of the Nigerian broadcast industry is pertinent at this period when
the whole world is talking about digitization of broadcasting.
