 Senegal star Youssou N'dour launches TV channel
Dakar, 3 Sept-(ANA)- Senegalese pop giant Youssou N'dour has officially launched his own television station in Senegal after a two-year struggle with the authorities.
The singer already owns a major private media group in Dakar, which tends to be critical of the authorities.
The new channel, TFM, is officially a cultural one, after the authorities refused to grant him a licence for a general channel, correspondents say.
Mr N'dour now hopes to reach out to neighbouring countries, they say.(ANA)
