On Thursday 15 October 2020, the Minister of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation, Aurelie ADAM SOULE ZOUMAROU, met the broadcasters and stakeholders of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) in Benin. The session was attended by the Special Adviser to the President of the Republic, Mr Johannes DAGNON, and the agenda covered the arrangements for creating the broadcasting operator, “Benin Diffusion”. The Beninese State is involving Benin’s private television broadcasters in the creation and operation of “Bénin Diffusion”.
“Benin Diffusion” is the key player in the DTT value chain, as it will handle all programme collection, multiplexing and broadcasting operations.
This meeting comes one week after the Council of Ministers approved the strategic note on the launch of DTT and on the arrangements for placing digital decoders and DTT reception accessories on the market in the Republic of Benin.
