The researcher used questionnaire approach in collecting data. The documentary reviews originated from TBC strategic business plan and from the TBC board of directors' reports on audited financial statements for three (3) years were also used in making comparison with the results obtained from the questionnaires distributed and came up with a summarized conclusion and recommendations. The study concluded that on financial performance there were contradictions of the results obtained from the questionnaires and TBC documentary review. The qualities of programs being transmitted generally were found to be good. Moreover the study revealed that the majority of TBC employees are not satisfied with the environment of work.
