BETV is an apolitical private television channel in Burundi, launched on 5 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 and English.[2]
BE TV Burundi stands for Best Entertainment Television.[1] It's 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] 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]
