(Ecofin Agency) - In Senegal, Futurs Médias (GFM) group has launched on December 9, Tv channel l’Obs TV and a sport daily Record. According to Ibrahima Dieng, who is in charge of the two media, their creation results from a partnership between GFM, Kwesé TV and Africanews.

“It is an exclusive alliance with the pan-African channel Kwesé Free sport and a partnership with Africanews, the Africa-focused news channel of the Euronews group; the two are likely to boost our editorial offer and consolidate our leadership,” said Ibrahima Dieng.

Launched in 2003 by the Senegalese star Youssou Ndour (picture), GFM already owns TFM, l’Observateur, one of the country’s major dailies, and many more media well-known by the Senegalese people.
