Television in Benin is represented here by two general-interest broadcasters with different institutional backgrounds. SRTB is the country’s public-service broadcaster, while Eden TV is a private television channel. Their programming covers news and current affairs alongside culture, education, social and community issues, and entertainment. French is used together with national or local languages, connecting these television services with Benin’s wider multilingual setting.
The small number of broadcasters on this page makes their different roles especially clear. SRTB approaches television from a public-service perspective, while Eden TV represents private general-interest broadcasting. Squid TV presents each broadcaster in relation to its base, language use, programming emphasis, and place within the country’s media environment, providing a concise view of how public and private television contribute to information, culture, education, and community-oriented programming in Benin.
