Africable

Africable is a free-to-air, French-language, pan-African TV-channel headquartered in Bamako, Mali. The channel launched on June 26, 2004, born from the desire of young cable operators in Francophone-Africa.

History The channel was conceived in 2003 by Ismaila Sidibé, who in 1993 was granted the access to relay TV5 into Mali and founded MMDS operator Multicanal in 1995. The philosophy was based on his existing relays of foreign channels, in order to democratize access to information to lower-end Malians.Ismaila Sidibé

The channel broadcasts news programmes ("Journal") from ORTM (Mali), RTI (Ivory Coast), RTS 1 (Sénégal), RTB (Burkina-Faso), ORTB (Benin), Télé Sahel (Niger), CRTV (Cameroon), RTG1 (Gabon) and RTG (Guinea).
