Africa-Press – Senegal. The Senegalese Radio Broadcasting Television (RTS, public) will release a “clean signal without logo”, for all televisions and websites operating in Senegal during the official ceremony of the Grand Magal of Touba, APS learned from the technical director of Senegalese television, Abdoulaye Niang.
“Televisions and websites which will not be able to travel to Touba will be able to have the signal through channel 5 TNT of RTS 2, channel 215 of TNT and channel 99 of TNT Vannes, where there will be a signal without a logo that they will be able to recover and exploit properly, » he assured in an interview with the APS.
He specifies that the technical devices are already operational in the city of Touba. He ensures that all televisions operating in Senegal will be able to have a « clean signal without logo with normal sound ».
« For all those who want to resume the signal at the level of Touba, we have a device on site to give the signal to any body which deems it necessary to have it at the level of the holy city », he said. -he indicates.
According to the technical director of Senegalese television, this decision is motivated not only by the commitments of the general management of RTS to the Caliph General of the Mourides, but also by the fact that not all television stations can be on site at the risk of create a situation that is difficult to manage in terms of security.
“We made commitments to the Caliph to share the signal with everyone. This is also to avoid traffic jams at the shooting level, where there are around thirty cameras which can be difficult to manage in terms of security. So, it’s better to have a single television that will take the signal and distribute it to everyone, » he explained.
Abdoulaye Niang also underlines that this decision is part of the long tradition of RTS to free its signal for all publishers. It is beneficial to the media to the extent that they can avoid making the trip which requires significant material resources, he argues.
