Burkina Faso: Free Access to RTB Channels for Canal+ Subscribers

Burkina Faso: RTB Channels to Remain Accessible to Canal+ Subscribers Despite Expired Subscriptions Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso – In a significant development for Burkinabe citizens, RTB (Radiodiffusion Télévision du Burkina) channels will continue to be accessible to Canal+ subscribers, even if their subscriptions expire. This is due to a new agreement signed on February 14, 2025, between the Superior Council of Communication (CSC) and Canal+. The CSC insisted on this measure to guarantee the right to information for all citizens, regardless of their subscription status. "This agreement ensures that everyone in Burkina Faso can access crucial news and information through RTB," said a representative from the CSC. Canal+ is expected to make the necessary technical adjustments to implement this agreement swiftly. The agreement is a renewal of a prior convention dating back to 2012, highlighting the ongoing commitment to providing accessible information to the public. This development ensures continued access to vital national news and programming, strengthening the public's right to information.
