Gabon 24

What Gabon 24 does

Gabon 24 is a private, bilingual (French/English) 24-hour news television channel headquartered in Libreville, Gabon. The company was created in 2016 within the Gabon Télévisions group, separated to become an independent, autonomous channel in 2018, and launched an English-language service under a new leadership team in 2019. It positions itself as the first continuous bilingual news channel in Gabon, delivering round-the-clock coverage of Gabonese, Pan-African, and international affairs across 11 editorial categories: Politics, Economy, Society, Sport, Culture, Health, Environment, Science & Tech, Justice, Tribune, and Direct live streaming.

The core product is a satellite-broadcast television channel, distributed via Canal+ Afrique (across Africa) and Satcon (across Africa and Europe). This broadcast layer is paired with a digital distribution stack consisting of a bilingual website (gabon24.tv), a live streaming service that includes the flagship Journal Télévisé du 20H, and content syndication across Facebook, YouTube, X, Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok. Editorial production is supported by a team of approximately 22+ journalists and reporters alongside anchor journalists, editors-in-chief, and news editors, with a stated bilingual editorial capability that is central to the channel's positioning.

Revenue is generated through advertising on its broadcast and digital inventory, serving general public audiences across Gabon, the broader African continent, and Europe. There is no publicly disclosed pricing, no reported revenue figures, no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional or private-equity backers, and no parent company in the source material. The leadership team comprises Laetitia Ngalibika as Directrice Générale (CEO equivalent), Alex Eboué as Directeur d'Antenne, Amstrong Agaya as Directeur de l'Information, and Marielle Biyogou as Directrice de l'Information Adjointe.

Direct peers

• Africanews: Pan-African 24/7 multilingual news channel distributed via satellite (including Canal+ Afrique). Closest direct peer to Gabon24 in terms of continuous news format, multi-platform distribution, and Pan-African editorial scope.

Broad incumbents

• RFI (Radio France Internationale): French public international radio broadcaster with strong African audiences and news operations across francophone Africa. Comparable to Gabon24 in target audience and Pan-African news coverage, though primarily radio/digital rather than 24/7 television.
• Al Jazeera English: Qatari state-backed international English-language news channel with bureaus across Africa. Comparable as a globally distributed 24/7 English-language news competitor for diaspora and African audiences.
• TV5Monde: Francophone international TV network broadcasting across Africa and globally, including via satellite partners. Comparable to Gabon24 in audience overlap and French-language focus, but operates as a broader entertainment and news portfolio rather than a single-country news channel.
• France 24: French state-funded international news channel broadcasting in French, English, Arabic, and Spanish with significant Africa coverage. Overlaps with Gabon24 in French-language news and African reporting, but operates at a much larger scale and broader editorial scope.
• DW (Deutsche Welle): German public international broadcaster with English, French, and other language services targeting African and global audiences. Comparable as a multilingual international public broadcaster competing for the same viewer attention.
• CGTN Africa: Chinese state-backed international broadcaster with Africa-focused programming. Comparable as a satellite-distributed international news competitor targeting African audiences, though backed by state funding.
• BBC Africa: BBC's African news operations span TV, radio, and digital, providing multilingual coverage including French. Competes with Gabon24 for both audiences and advertisers in the African news space, particularly in English-language African coverage.

Emerging players

• ARISE News: International news channel with African origins covering African and global news. Comparable in scope and target audience to Gabon24, though operating at a smaller scale and with a different distribution footprint.

Regional players

• Gabon Télévisions: State broadcaster of Gabon, formerly the parent group of Gabon24. Overlaps with Gabon24 in Gabonese-language news coverage and audience, but operates as the national broadcaster with broader programming beyond news.
