Chad
The broadcast media is state-controlled, with coverage generally favoring the Government. Radio is the main means of mass communication. Radiodiffusion Nationale Tchadienne is state-run and operates national and regional radio stations. There are about a dozen private radio stations on the air, despite high licensing fees. These are subject to close official scrutiny. Some are run by non-profit groups. The only television station, Teletchad, is state-owned. Private newspapers, critical of the Government, circulate freely in N'Djaména but have little impact among the largely rural and illiterate population.
Press: Newspapers are printed in French and generally have a low circulation. Dailies include Le Progress and weekly, privately published newspapers such as Le Temps.
TV: State-owned Teletchad is the only channel.
