Unplanned Survey

Yesterday, I carried out an unplanned survey. What was my survey on and how did it happen?

My friend called to tell me I was on the DRTV(Delta Rainbow Television, Warri). A summary of  Power Summit 2012 was being aired. I was out of the house so I said "ehen, ok but I nor dey house o, make I ping my friends make they watch".

I started pinging my friends and you won't believe it, none of them had DRTV on their television. In short none of them watch DRTV and I said to myself "WAG, you yourself when you watch DRTV last?". The truth is I couldn't even remember.

I just locked up and said "abeg e, e  don past and I nor fit watch am sef because we nor get DRTV for house too".

Around 4:30 pm, I received a call from the reporter asking me to watch the 7:30 news that I would be shown on TV. How I wan tell the guy say we nor get DRTV? I said "ok thanks would do that".

Omo come and see me calling almost everyone on my contact list, "please una get DRTV", that was what I was asking and the replies were so funny. I got replies like "haba how you go dey ask that one, who still dey watch that one, omo I don forget that station o ......... ". I just did a survey from the replies and I guess you know how it went.

It was 6:15 pm and I was at my sister's  house. My bro-in-law decided to search for the station since it was free to air, that's when I decided to go home and search for it on my TV as well. I knew I could search for it since o but I didn't just want to stress myself (I was very tired actually).

As I switched on the TV it was on AV mood (my TV is always on AV because its either movie or cable never free to air). I decided to take it to normal channel and guess what, the first thing that appeared was DRTV. I have had it all along and I haven't watched it in years.

I said "ok, today make I watch DRTV".
I noticed there has been an improvement in the picture quality but it was still adverts!!! before the news started at 7:30pm.

As I saw the newscaster, I said "shoo this one still dey read news", she has been reading news since I was 5years old or so I think. I was expecting to see a new fresh face but it was still ok because of the improvement in picture quality and sound, Kudos DRTV.

The first news was about President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan arriving in Delta State with the Presidential Jet to visit flood victims in Delta and Anambra State. The second news was the registration numbers of the presidential jet GEJ came in with and the chopper he entered to visit Anambra State.

Please why the break of-secondly on the news, the President GEJ arrived the state today with presidential jet number so,so,and so. Why didn't they just merge it as one news information, like GEJ came to visit and he arrive with jet number .....( am just saying it from my own view point o).

There was a break and it was adverts again, I saw something I had actually forgotten before it is only on DRTV that they do adverts for wedding and marriages.

Finally at the end of the news, the bottom pot(last part) of the news, the summit was shown. Come and see me shouting and calling my mumsy and sister to come and watch. Forget that is this station I was stroking ooo, I was in the box called TV. Omo e nor easy to enter that box o.

I made my father proud, yes na because of me they called the family name on TV, I nor sure say the name don enter television before,lol.

Anyway, it was wonderful seeing my self on TV and I called the reporter to say thanks and also Sarah(CEO Points Creations) for the opportunity.

I would like to please beg the state government to upgrade our TV station. Maybe get it on DSTV because everyone is cable obsessed right now and if it gets on DSTV then majority would start watching.
And before my message finally gets to the government, we Warri peeps can still try to watch, its our own station.

Some people still watch DRTV. My correcty babe Mavis(if you missed the article on Mavis, see it Here) sent me a message that she saw me on TV *smiling*.
