Medi1 TV secures official broadcasting authorization in Mali

A milestone achievement for Medi1 TV as the Moroccan-based pan-African news channel receives formal approval from Mali’s High Authority for Communication (HAC) to operate and broadcast across the country. This landmark decision underscores the channel’s commitment to fostering media partnerships that bridge cultural divides and amplify African perspectives.

A decade of presence in Mali leads to deeper commitment

Medi1 TV’s journey in Mali began years ago through Radio Méditerranée Internationale (Medi 1), which has been broadcasting in Bamako on FM frequencies since its establishment. The recent authorization marks a significant expansion of the channel’s engagement in the country, reinforcing its dedication to media collaboration that transcends borders.

Strengthening African media sovereignty

In an official statement, Medi1 TV emphasized that this authorization represents a pivotal step in its continental growth strategy. The partnership between Medi1 TV and Mali’s HAC reflects a shared vision of promoting independent, high-quality journalism that reflects African realities and fosters dialogue between cultures.

Commitment to ethical journalism and innovation

As a leading 24/7 news channel with a national, regional, and continental reach, Medi1 TV reaffirms its adherence to journalistic ethics, balance, and regulatory compliance in Mali. The channel is poised to deepen its collaboration with local audiovisual stakeholders through knowledge-sharing initiatives, professional training, and digital innovation—all aimed at sustainable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

Medi1 TV: A media built by Africans, for Africans

The channel’s editorial identity is rooted in comprehensive coverage of African news, balanced reporting on geopolitical and economic issues, and spotlighting developmental initiatives across the continent. By offering credible, pluralistic, and accessible information, Medi1 TV serves as a trusted source for African audiences seeking sovereign, high-quality journalism.

A modern media landscape for Africa

Established in 2006 as a bilingual news channel for the Maghreb, Medi1 TV has evolved into a dynamic multichannel and multilingual platform with a regional and continental focus. With a diverse team and a robust presence across satellite and digital networks, the channel delivers timely, high-quality news that empowers citizens and supports Africa’s development.

The authorization granted to Medi1 TV by Mali’s HAC not only highlights the channel’s growing influence but also symbolizes the strong cooperative ties between Morocco and Mali. Together, they are championing the creation of a modern, professional African media ecosystem that is open to the world.
