Between January and August, the situation deteriorated by nearly 20%.

The Cameroonian TV market does not benefit from consistent advertising spending from month to month or year to year. The advertisers present are rarely the same, with the exception of a few major advertisers such as MTN Cameroon, CANAL+, Orange Cameroon, and 1XBET.

All studies show that this irregularity is detrimental to advertising effectiveness, which requires continuous action to achieve its full potential. It also weakens television channels whose resources depend on advertising revenue.
