Unlike Côte d'Ivoire, where the most powerful channel, NCI, has 3.7 million subscribers, in Senegal, the number of subscribers to Senegalese channels' Facebook pages has plateaued and does not exceed 1.7 million subscribers.
RTS1 retains its leading position with 1.7 million subscribers and slight growth over one year (+100,000 subscribers).
In second place, TFM also grew slightly, with 2STV closing the gap (+172,000 subscribers in one year).
The other channels are also making very little progress, with the exception of MARODI TV, which has gained 155,000 subscribers to its Facebook page.

Nevertheless, in Senegal, which is by far the country in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa with the most widespread access, it is YouTube that is of most interest to television channels.
MARODI TV, which has built its reputation and audience on digital media, has more than 7 million subscribers on YouTube out of a total population of 18 million people in Senegal.
Two other television channels have over 2 million subscribers: TFM and 2STV, and two channels have over 1 million subscribers: Walfadjiri and SENTV.
