Abstract: The mass media as a consciousness industry satisfies diver’s needs to its heterogeneous and varied audiences. Each of the media (Television or Radio) is presumed to affect perceptions and behaviour in a distinctive way due to its reach, frequency and penetration. They can affect the society and society can also affect the media. Deriving from the foregoing, Ayedee & Manocha, (2020) argues “television is an electronic device that brings informational and entertainment programme: it grasps all the ages and almost all the interests of the living. Right from the international programmes, it carters for the needs of all viewers: hence, television holds the highest mode of entertainment and information. Obono & Madu (2018) agrees with this position saying: television is an important medium of communication in the 21st century. It is used for several reasons including information, education, entertainment and persuasion. Unlike other media structures, television has the advantage of utilizing vision for mass communication,( p.4) Lindholm (2019), adds, the relationship between sports and television has for the most part been mutually beneficial and has, for the most part, only grown deeper over time. Television, allows sports to reach audience that are too far away to attend sporting competitions live.
