Reference excerpt

Television has been present in the Ivory Coast since 1963. As of 2026, there are nine terrestrial television channels (three public and six private) as well as subscription platforms.

History The Ivory Coast was one of the first countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Françafrique to introduce television (in 1963), under the state broadcaster Radio Télévision Ivoirienne (RTI). The passage of Law nº62-402 on 31 October 1962 led to the founding of RTI with the aim of creating a television service. Said service launched on 7 August 1963. In December 1963, a second transmitter opened in Dotenzia, Bouaké, by 1965 both transmitters covered a third of the country; then it opened two studios in Cocody to expand its schedule; followed by a new transmitter in Dabakala in 1968. Color television broadcasts began in 1973. Most technical support in its early years was done by OCORA, an ORTF subsidiary that assisted broadcasters in former French colonies. From 1971 to April 1981, RTI also aired an educational service; this closed due to budget concerns. In November 1983, RTI launched Canal 2 (renamed TV2 in 1991), only covering Abidjan and adjacent areas. In this phase, it only broadcast on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30pm. On 1 November 1991, upon its rename to TV2, daily broadcasts began. Both RTI channels were TVAfrica affiliates; La Première was a sports affiliate while TV2 aired all of its programming. In 2002, the RTI 1 transmitter in Bouaké was used to carry TV Notre Patrie illegally during part of the day's schedule, usually after the RTI newscast. By 2008, there was an independent satellite channel operating, Ivoire Canal International (ICI TV, "ICI" also refers to "here"), the channel also relayed telenovelas seen on RTI 1. During 2011, there was also an opposition channel during the crisis, Télé Côte d'Ivoire. After the war ended later that year, RTI 1 resumed full broadcasts. In May 2016, the High Authority for Audiovisual Communication issued tenders for the first private television stations, which would begin with the digital terrestrial platform. Said platform opened on 8 February 2019. The first true private channel that appeared (other than the rebel-backed TVNP in the 2000s in Bouaké) was NCI on 12 December 2019.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Television in Ivory Coast

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Television in Ivory Coast claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Television in Ivory Coast before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Television in Ivory Coast ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Television in Ivory Coast

In research: Television in Ivory Coast appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Television in Ivory Coast in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Television in Ivory Coast is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Television by country, Television in Ivory Coast, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Television in Ivory Coast outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
