TM2

TM2 (TM2 Télévision nationale) is the second public general-interest television channel of Mali. It is operated by the Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision du Mali (ORTM), the country's state broadcasting organization, and is positioned as a complementary service to the older national channel. Its programming is described as being aimed particularly at women and young people, giving it a distinct audience focus within Mali's public broadcasting landscape. The channel was inaugurated on 31 December 2011 by then President Amadou Toumani Touré. Its first guest was the president himself, who spoke in French, Bambara and Fulfulde, reflecting Mali's multilingual public broadcasting tradition. TM2 broadcasts in Mali and is available through the ORTM website, where a live stream is offered. As a state-owned public channel, TM2 does not operate as a commercial brand in the conventional sense; it is a public service media brand under ORTM. Its content is generalist, covering news, culture, education and entertainment, with a special emphasis on issues relevant to women and youth. The channel forms part of Mali's national television offering alongside the main ORTM channel.

TM2 was established as the second public general-interest television channel of Mali, under the umbrella of the Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision du Mali (ORTM). The channel was officially inaugurated on 31 December 2011 by President Amadou Toumani Touré. During the launch, Touré was also the first guest on the channel, delivering remarks in French, Bambara and Fulfulde, which underscored the multilingual character of Malian public broadcasting. The creation of TM2 was part of a broader effort to expand and diversify Mali's state television offering. While the main ORTM channel had long served as the primary national broadcaster, TM2 was conceived as a complementary service with a specific editorial focus on women and young people. This audience segmentation was intended to address the interests and concerns of demographic groups that had been less prominently represented in the existing programming. Since its launch, TM2 has operated as a state-owned public channel, funded and managed within the ORTM structure. It broadcasts general-interest content, including news, cultural programmes, educational material and entertainment. The channel is available on terrestrial television in Mali and can also be watched via live streaming on the ORTM website. As a public service broadcaster, TM2 does not compete in the commercial television market in the same way as private channels. Its mission is tied to public information, education and cultural promotion, with a particular emphasis on reaching women and youth. The channel remains active as part of Mali's national broadcasting system.
