Thema adds African channel trio

Paris-based channel distributor Thema has added three new African channels to its free Le Bouquet Africain channel package in France.

They include NCI – La Nouvelle Chaine Ivoirienne, the first private Ivorian television channel, which has demonstrated a strong potential since its launch in Africa. It is broadcast in Côte d’Ivoire via TNT and via cable and satellite elsewhere in Africa.

The second channel is CDirect, which presents a positive outlook of Congo, while the third channel is SunuYeuf, a 100% Wolof broadcaster that offers more than 1,000 hours of Wolof-language programming every year.

According to Thema, the Le Bouquet Africain and Le Bouquet Africain Premium packages now include up to 12 and 29 channels, respectively.

Timothée Vidal, Thema’s senior VP of multicultural distribution and digital, said: “Le Bouquet Africain keeps evolving to propose the most relevant channels to the French-speaking African diaspora in France.”
