Mons Borinage Television

What Mons Borinage Television does

Mons Borinage Television (Tele MB) is a privately held local television station headquartered in Mons, Belgium, that has broadcast continuously since 1986 in the French-speaking Wallonia region. The company serves residents of the Mons-Borinage area with daily local news (Les Infos), weekly sports coverage (Lundi Sports, Services Gagnants), cultural programming (C'est Notre Histoire, Et si on prenait l'air?), debate shows (Face a Vous), weather forecasts (Juste a Temps avec Farid), and event-specific coverage of regional cultural traditions such as the Doudou festival and La Pucelette de Wasmes. Distribution is exclusively regional via the three major Belgian cable/IPTV operators - Proximus (Canal 10), VOO (Canal 11), and Orange Belgium (Canal 13) - supplemented by a digital presence on telemb.be, an email newsletter, and social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The company operates under a CSA broadcasting authorization in Federation Wallonie-Bruxelles, with the regulatory license functioning as both a compliance framework and an entry barrier. Tele MB's business model is sales-led and recurring: revenue is generated through advertising sales and likely public/media subsidies supporting the regional television mandate, although no pricing or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and has co-production partnerships with the Province de Hainaut (Hainaut Stories podcast), Be Planet (environmental programming), and the Dour Festival (Backstage artist series), which extend its content footprint without expanding its geographic market.
