Efforts at forming the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) dates back to 1973. By then, there was a need for an organisation under which broadcasting media in Nigeria would interact with one another.

Apart from serving as an organ through which television and radio would speak with one voice, such organisation would be used as a rallying point for coverage of major national and international events. In particular, there was the need for effective co-ordination broadcast media for the 1973 "All African Games" held in Nigeria.

The World Festival of Black African Arts and Culture (FESTAC) provided the platform through which BON was revived and given a new lease of life in 1977.
