Channels TV joins Twitter craze

sunrise_twitterIn what is becoming the “in thing” in Nigeria, Channels Tv’s early morning program Sun Rise Daily now has a twitter account. First tweet was on the 17th of this month at about 3:43pm (that aint morning, lolz) it has continued to tweets intermittently,  though out of context to its programme.

The account (I assume) is currently going through a test drive as I expected it to tweet about the ongoing programmes and engage the listen but for now, nothing like that has happened.

Twitter tips for Channels

  • Try to tweet about the ongoing programme
  • The account is not currently engaging audience, try collect question to ask guest from twitter.
  • When you tweet about new, give link to the full article
  • Don’t tweet from the account unless you want to use it to get info from audience about the program(you can have channels TV handle the news aspect).
  • Get creative!

Currently has 5 tweets, 111 followers and following 16 people. Official Channels Tv has less than 200 followers(as of this writing).

It joined the league of Gtbank,  and other companies in Nigeria to use the platform.

Twitter is gradually moving mainstream in Nigeria even as it has moved mainstream in the US and some Countries. It has continue to innovate and help people with less internet access still use the site with their SMS based service.

This is a free media advert for twitter and I see it encouraging listeners to use the site.

When will Nigerian startup get free media support with its innovative products? When?
