The first one is the Bouquet Africain, made up of seven national, public and private channels:RTS and the 2sTV, two channels from Senegal; CRTV, the public channel of Cameroon; RTI, the public channel of Ivory Cost; ORTM the public channel of Mali; RTB, the public channel of Burkina Faso; and RTB and Télé Congo, the public channel of Congo (Brazzaville).
The second is the Bouquet Africain Premium, consisting of 10 channels: seven from the Bouquet Africain, plus three more African channels: two Cameroonian channels (Stv2 and Canal 2 International) and a Pan-African news channel, Africable.
