EBC Live Stream

EBC, the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation, is Ethiopia's state broadcaster, working in television, radio and online from Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia's national broadcaster

The grid is a country of more than 120 million people on air: national news in Amharic and English, programming in other Ethiopian languages, coverage of government and state events, drama, music and entertainment, and sport, including the athletics for which the country is known.

Languages

Ethiopia has more than eighty languages, and Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya and Somali are the largest among them. A state broadcaster serving the whole country works across several, which shapes both its newsroom and the cost of its output.

From empire to federal republic

Ethiopian broadcasting began under Haile Selassie and expanded through the Derg years and the federal republic that followed 1991. EBC remains the country's principal national service, and its coverage is closely tied to the government's position, particularly during the conflict in Tigray.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts nationally by terrestrial and satellite transmission and streams through its own platform, reaching Ethiopians at home and the diaspora in the United States, Europe and the Gulf.
