Guinea-Bissau
Since the overthrow of Kumba Yala in 2003, the media scene has been less repressive. The lack of a reliable power supply is still a problem. Private radio stations operate alongside the state-run broadcaster. There are few private newspapers, essentially due to financial constraints rather than to Government interference.
Press: There are no English-language papers. Journal Nô Pintcha is a state-run newspaper published daily; Banobero, Correio-Bissau and Fraskera are private weekly publications.
TV: Radio Televisao de Guinea-Bissau (RTGB) is state-run; RTP Africa, operated by Portuguese public broadcaster RTP, is run by local management; its studios and infrastructure are funded by Portugal.
Radio: Radio Nacional is a state-run station; Radio Pindjiguiti, Bombolom FM and Voice of Quelele are private stations.
