Media expansion

Medi1 TV officially cleared to broadcast in Mali

The Moroccan news channel Medi1 TV has secured regulatory approval from Mali’s High Authority of Communication (HAC), marking a significant milestone in its continental expansion strategy. This authorization allows the channel to establish and operate its programming across Mali, reinforcing its commitment to fostering cross-border media partnerships and knowledge exchange.

In a landmark move for African media development, Medi1 TV has formalized its broadcasting partnership with Mali’s regulatory body, the High Authority of Communication (HAC). The signed convention grants the channel full authorization to transmit its 24/7 news programs throughout Mali, cementing its role as a key player in continental information dissemination.

Through this agreement, Medi1 TV underscores its dedication to fostering media sovereignty, promoting balanced reporting on African realities, and strengthening cultural exchanges across the continent. The channel has maintained a strong presence in Mali for years via its FM radio counterpart, Radio Méditerranée Internationale (Medi 1), broadcast in Bamako, and now expands its reach through television.

As a public news channel with national, regional, and pan-African reach, Medi1 TV reaffirms its commitment to journalistic integrity, ethical standards, and adherence to Mali’s regulatory framework. The collaboration extends beyond broadcasting, with initiatives planned to enhance local audiovisual sector capabilities through expertise sharing, professional training, and digital innovation—all designed to create sustainable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

Rooted in its mission to serve African audiences, Medi1 TV delivers comprehensive coverage of continental developments while maintaining a pluralistic and independent editorial stance. The channel distinguishes itself by prioritizing credible, accessible news that amplifies African voices, highlights developmental initiatives, and provides balanced perspectives on geopolitical and economic issues shaping the continent.

This regulatory approval reflects the strong trust between Medi1 TV and Mali’s HAC, while also highlighting the robust cooperation ties between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Mali. Both nations are united in their vision to cultivate a modern, professional, and globally engaged African media landscape.

Established in 2006 as a bilingual, Maghreb-focused news channel, Medi1 TV has evolved into a dynamic multichannel, multilingual platform with continental ambitions. Leveraging a culturally diverse team and extensive satellite and digital distribution networks, the channel delivers high-quality journalism that serves both African citizens and the continent’s development agenda.
