The results of the 2019 AFRICASCOPE study were impacted by the interruption of RFI's signal for nearly three weeks in January.
This situation benefited TOP CONGO, which strengthened its leading position, reaching 24.2% audience share and achieving a 48% increase compared to the previous year.
RFI, whose frequency was cut off during the survey period, nevertheless retained its second place with 10.7% audience share and distanced itself from Radio OKAPI, which fell sharply (-3.3 audience share points).
RTNC1 also saw a sharp decline in audience share (2.1 points) and dropped out of the top five.
Radio Maria, which did not even appear in the top ten in 2018, entered the rankings in fourth place with a 6.3% audience share.
