Tele Sahel Live Stream

Télé Sahel is the national television broadcaster of Niger, owned and operated by the government's Office of Radio and Television of Niger (ORTN), which also runs Radio Voix du Sahel and the Tal TV satellite station. The channel provides news and other programmes in French and several of Niger's local languages.

From school television to the national channel

Niger's television began in 1964 as an experimental black-and-white educational service, Télévision Scolaire du Niger, created with technical assistance from France's ORTF. After French subsidies ended in 1977, the government converted the network into the country's first nationwide general channel: following a trial during the 1978 FIFA World Cup, Télé Sahel was launched as a full national colour broadcaster on 6 April 1979.

The voice of the state

Télé Sahel transmits to all of Niger's urban centres and serves as the country's public information channel — it was the platform used to announce the 2023 Nigerien coup d'état. Its current Director General is Moussa Saley, in office since 2005. The channel streams live online alongside its national terrestrial network.
