Télé Tchad is the national broadcaster of the Central African state of Chad. It broadcasts in Arabic and French. It primarily broadcasts news, educational programming, cultural, religious, and local sport programming 20 hours a day.
The national broadcaster is seen as favoring the government.[1] Reporters Without Borders frequently lists Chad near the bottom of its list of World Press Freedom rankings, due to "Violence, arbitrary arrest and cyber-censorship for journalists in Chad".[2]
