Mali’s Haute Autorité de la Communication (HAC) has officially granted Medi1 TV permission to broadcast across the country, marking a significant milestone in the pan-African media outlet’s expansion.
The authorization follows the signing of a formal agreement between the two parties, enabling Medi1 TV to establish and operate its programming within Mali’s regulatory framework. This move underscores a shared commitment to fostering sovereign, balanced, and insightful media coverage for African audiences.
Strengthening African media partnerships
Medi1 TV, already familiar to Malian listeners through Radio Méditerranée Internationale (Medi 1), has broadcast in Bamako via FM for years. The television division now extends this presence, reinforcing the group’s dedication to sustainable media collaboration that bridges cultures, amplifies knowledge, and encourages dialogue across the continent.
The channel positions itself as a public service broadcaster with national, regional, and continental reach. It emphasizes journalistic integrity, factual accuracy, and adherence to Mali’s media regulations while promoting mutual growth through partnerships with local audiovisual professionals.
A vision for quality, pluralistic journalism
Medi1 TV’s editorial mission centers on delivering credible, accessible news that reflects African realities. Its coverage spans geopolitical, economic, and developmental issues, highlighting initiatives that drive progress on the continent. With a multilingual, multichannel approach, the channel serves audiences seeking reliable, independent journalism rooted in African perspectives.
This partnership with Mali’s HAC also highlights the robust cooperation between Mali and Morocco, reinforcing their joint effort to cultivate a modern, professional, and globally connected African media landscape.
Founded in 2006 as a bilingual news channel for the Maghreb, Medi1 TV has evolved into a dynamic network with a multicultural team and a strong footprint across satellite and digital platforms. Today, it delivers timely, high-quality news to citizens while supporting Africa’s development through informed storytelling.
