History

BE TV (since 2017)

BETV is an apolitical private television channel in Burundi, launched on October 5, 2017. Its mission is to promote Burundian culture by promoting cultural agents and the talents of the country in its broadcasts in Kirundi, French and Swahili and English.[2]

BE TV Burundi stands for Best Entertainment Television.[1] It's different from and has no partnership with the Belgian cable television platform BeTV (formerly Canal+ Belgique), launched on 29 August 2004, when the former platform Vivendi sold Canal+ Benelux.[3] It is also involved in entertainment activities throughout the country. In 2019, it was the exclusive media that covered the event of the Buja Music Awards at its first edition on July 7, 2019.[4] The same goes for the event of Buja Fashion Week the same year.[5]

On May 20, 2019, BETV launched its website and app on Google PayStore.[6][7]
