As no TV audience figures are made public, the only indicator that can be used to predict the ranking of television channels in Senegal is the number of subscribers to the channel's Facebook page. Although not an audience indicator, this number of subscribers is indicative of a television channel's popularity, influence, and the bond it has forged with the public over the years.
The TOP 3 FACEBOOK page in Senegal is dominated by RTS1, which is far ahead in first place and has seen exceptional growth of +492,000 subscribers in six months. It is likely that coverage of the CAN22 and Senegal's victory played a large part in this growth.
TFM, which according to the latest audience figures released in 2019 is the most watched channel in Senegal, has slightly less than a million subscribers but has grown by 123,000 subscribers.
2STV occupies third place with 774,000 subscribers, followed closely by SENTV
as was the case at the end of 2021, although the gap between the two channels is narrowing.
The content offered by all these channels revolves around news (news programs, reports, etc.) and major events.
Marodi TV, which is an online video platform, mainly posts episodes of its series.
Leral TV, which obtained authorization in 2020 to broadcast on Senegalese DTT, remains at a low level of 16,000 subscribers.
