Medi1 TV has officially secured a broadcast license from Mali’s High Authority for Communication (HAC), marking a new chapter in the channel’s expansion across Africa. This agreement grants Medi1 TV the legal right to establish, operate, and distribute its programming throughout Mali, solidifying its commitment to fostering media partnerships that bridge cultures and promote African knowledge sharing.

In an official statement, the 24-hour news channel emphasized that this authorization represents a significant milestone in its continental growth. The partnership between Medi1 TV and Mali’s HAC underscores a shared vision: to champion a sovereign media landscape that reflects African realities while advancing the continent’s progress.

Medi1 TV has been a familiar presence in Mali through Radio Méditerranée Internationale (Medi 1), which has broadcast in Bamako on FM for years. With this new television license, the channel reinforces its dedication to long-term media collaboration aimed at fostering dialogue among African cultures and facilitating the exchange of knowledge.

As a public news channel with national, regional, and pan-African reach, Medi1 TV reaffirms its dedication to journalistic integrity, balanced reporting, and compliance with Mali’s regulatory framework. The broadcaster is also keen to deepen its ties with Mali’s audiovisual sector by launching joint initiatives focused on expertise sharing, professional training, and digital innovation—all with a forward-looking, mutually beneficial approach.

At its core, Medi1 TV is an African channel for African audiences. Its editorial mission revolves around providing rigorous coverage of African news, offering balanced perspectives on the continent’s geopolitical and economic issues, and highlighting development initiatives. By supporting economic, social, and cultural progress, the channel delivers credible, pluralistic, and accessible information to African citizens. Its independent and inclusive editorial line has established it as a trusted reference for audiences seeking sovereign, high-quality journalism.

This licensing agreement not only reflects the trust between Medi1 TV and Mali’s HAC but also highlights the strong cooperative ties between Morocco and Mali. Both nations are committed to nurturing a modern, professional, and globally connected African media space.

Founded in 2006 as a bilingual and regionally focused 24-hour news channel for the Maghreb, Medi1 TV has since evolved into a multichannel, multilingual information network with continental ambitions. Through a diverse, multicultural team and a robust presence across satellite and digital platforms, the channel delivers timely, high-quality news coverage of African and global developments, serving the continent’s citizens and supporting Africa’s growth.
