Burkina Faso media regulator fines Canal+ over free access to state TV
Burkina Faso's media regulator has slapped a new and much larger fine on French broadcaster Canal+ accusing it of failing to provide free access to state TV channels.
The watchdog imposed a penalty of $350,000 on the French company, four times higher than the previous fine handed down in June.
At the time, it gave Canal+ 30 days to remove all technical barriers preventing subscribers from accessing unencrypted broadcasts of the state Radiodiffusion Télévision du Burkina.
