About Espérance TV
Espérance TV is a private Ivorian television channel launched in 2019. It is owned by the Espérance Group, a consortium of Ivorian businessmen and investors. The channel is headquartered in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast.
Espérance TV is a generalist channel that broadcasts a wide range of programming, including news, current affairs, entertainment, sports, and religious programming. The channel is available on the Canal+ satellite platform and on the TNT network in Ivory Coast.
Espérance TV has been criticized for its pro-government bias. In 2020, the channel was banned by the Ivorian government for broadcasting a program that was critical of the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ban was later lifted, but Espérance TV remains under close scrutiny by the government.
Despite the challenges it has faced, Espérance TV remains one of the most popular television channels in Ivory Coast. The channel's commitment to providing high-quality programming has made it a favorite among viewers.
