1.2 Statement of the problem
In this information age that sees
communication as a vital instrument, the relevance which Television has
been playing has not been encouraging in the context of rural
development in Nigeria. Even in a rural community like Emekuku area of
Imo State where Television is partially unavailable, information cannot
be shared among the people who cannot understand English but through
only viewing the Television and yet they maintain a stable system of
living.
Most rural areas are devoid of social infrastructure which
could have made life more comfortable to the rural dwellers. This
situation can be traced to the failure of the government to help the
masses in the rural areas.
Majidian (1977, p.22) opines that
although the technology of communication provides unparallel
opportunities for economic, political, educational and cultural
development. Its potential national development will remain unrealized
unless it performs its roles effectively. The problem of this study can
be deduced from the fore said of national Population reside in rural
areas. The rural areas are characterized by depressing annual income,
poverty and penury manifested by widespread hunger, malnutrition, lack
of access to formal and informal education. The mass media are mostly
urban based then rightly accursed to its rural areas as rightly

countries which is urban concentrated have invalidated that so much
quest for New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) which is
