euronews’ first terrestrial TV broadcast in an English-speaking African country will reach 3.4 million Ghanaians.
In April 2011, euronews became available in English on 2 channels bringing the international news channel to 3.4 million homes.
The public Ghana Broadcasting Corporation airs euronews for 2.5 hours every day. The private channel Metro TV broadcasts euronews programmes for 1 hour per day.
24,000 homes already receive euronews in Ghana 24 hrs a day via the DSTV/Multichoice satellite package.
With these two new distribution agreements, euronews is now present across the African Sub Sahara and is broadcast to over 20 million homes (satellite, cable, terrestrial and ADSL) including 12 million terrestrial links.
