History

BETV (since 2017)

BETV is an apolitical private television channel in Burundi, launched on October 25, 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 August 29, 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 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 PlayStore. [6] [7] In the 2020s, its app was no longer available on Google PlayStore.[ citation needed ] Around 2022, BETV's website was inactive, but its social media are active.[ citation needed ]
