Media expansion
Medi1 TV secures official broadcasting authorization in Mali
Building on its established presence in Mali through Radio Méditerranée Internationale (Medi 1), which has broadcast in Bamako on FM for years, Medi1 TV now expands its footprint with official television broadcasting rights granted by Mali’s High Authority of Communication (HAC).

Medi1 TV has finalized a historic agreement with Mali’s High Authority of Communication (HAC), securing full authorization to establish and broadcast its television programs across Malian territory. The deal represents a pivotal milestone in the channel’s continental growth strategy and underscores the shared commitment of both parties to foster sovereign, Africa-centered media coverage.
The agreement was formalized through an official statement from the pan-African news channel, which emphasized the transformative potential of this partnership in amplifying African voices and bridging knowledge gaps between cultures through responsible journalism.
While Medi1 TV’s radio presence in Mali dates back several years—with Radio Méditerranée Internationale (Medi 1) broadcasting in Bamako—this television authorization marks a significant expansion of its media footprint in the country. As a public news channel with national, regional, and continental reach, Medi1 TV reaffirms its dedication to journalistic integrity, balanced reporting, and strict adherence to Malian regulatory standards.
The Moroccan-based channel is positioning itself as a catalyst for professional exchange within Mali’s audiovisual sector. Plans include collaborative initiatives focused on digital innovation, expertise sharing, and capacity-building programs designed to strengthen Mali’s media landscape in a sustainable and mutually beneficial manner.
At its core, Medi1 TV defines itself as an African channel for African audiences, distinguished by its comprehensive coverage of continental affairs, balanced analysis of geopolitical and economic trends, and spotlight on development initiatives across the continent. By championing credible, pluralistic, and accessible information, the channel serves as a trusted reference for audiences seeking authentic African perspectives on global developments.
This landmark agreement not only reflects the growing trust between Medi1 TV and Mali’s regulatory authorities but also highlights the robust partnership between Morocco and Mali in advancing a modern, professional, and globally engaged African media ecosystem. Established in 2006 as a bilingual news channel for the Maghreb, Medi1 TV has since evolved into a dynamic multimedia network with multilingual offerings, reaching audiences through satellite and digital platforms. Today, it delivers quality journalism that empowers citizens and supports Africa’s development journey.
