From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Television in Mauritania was introduced in 1980 with experimental broadcasts, with regular broadcasts starting in 1982.[1]

Télédiffusion de Mauritanie offers private and public channels through satellite television in the Arabsat satellites Badr-4 and Arabsat-5C.[2] There is also easy access to pan-Arab and European satellite television.[3]

History

[edit]

Television in Mauritania started as a project in 1980, with regular broadcasts starting with the Office of Radio and Television of Mauritania (ORTM) in 1982, broadcasting news bulletins and other programming.[1]

On 10 July 1984, thanks to Iraqi aid, Mauritanian TV became fully autonomous, broadcasting from its own studios separate from the radio.[1][4]

Mass media in Mauritania was a state monopoly until a law liberalising the audiovisual space in the country passed in the National Assembly on 2 July 2010, with the first private media being authorised by the High Authority for Press and Audiovisual (HAPA) on 23 August 2011.[5]
