TéléSesel (styled in lowercase as telesesel) is a Seychellois cable television channel, owned by Radius Studios and available exclusively over Cable & Wireless Seychelles' network. The channel provides more local content than SBC's own channels.
History TéléSesel was created by Clave Camille and Gilmer Philoe, upon the former's establishment of Radius Studios, in 2015, and opened on 24 July 2017 as the first local high-definition channel in the country, on channel 1 of Cable & Wireless. Philoe supported the idea of more local television channels for Seychellois viewers. The goal was to complement, and not compete with, SBC and other services available.‘TéléSesel here to complement and not compete with existing TV services’, The Nation, 31 July 2017, retrieved 25 August 2026 Its launch led to increased demand from local production companies.Production houses aim to create TV programmes in Creole
