[edit]
BETV is an apolitical private television channel in Burundi, launched on 25 October 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.[2]
BETV stands for Best Entertainment Television.[1] It is 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][failed verification] 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 7 July 2019.[4] The same goes for the event of Buja Fashion Week the same year.[5]
On 20 May 2019, BETV launched its website and app on Google PlayStore.[6][7]In the 2020s, its app was no longer available on Google PlayStore. Around 2022, BETV's website was inactive, but its social media are active.
