Media
FM relays of foreign stations in the city such as the BBC, Radio France Internationale and Africa No1 were disrupted. Radio is Côte d'Ivoire's most-popular medium. There are approximately 30 low-power, non-commercial community radio stations, including some run by the Catholic Church.
There are no private terrestrial TV stations, although pay-TV services are provided by Canal Satellite Horizons. Rebels in the centre of the country use state radio and TV facilities in Bouake for their own broadcasts. In August 2004, UN peacekeepers launched their own radio station, ONUCI FM. The station is now available in Abidjan and rebel-held towns in the north.
Press
• The main dailies include state-owned newspaper Fraternité Matin, Notre Voie, which is owned by the ruling party, and opposition newspaper Le Patriote.
• Soir Info, Le Jour, Le Front, L'Inter and 24 Heures are all privately owned.
