NTA Ibadan, formerly Western Nigeria Television also known as WNTV is the first television service station launched in Nigeria, and is a unit of the Nigerian Television Authority since 1977. The station played a significant role in beaming taped Yoruba traveling theatre productions to households.

In 1975, the Federal Government of Nigeria established Nigerian Television Authority network service and acquired all T.V. stations in Nigeria to form the network.[1] WNTS then became NTA Ibadan.
