Gabon 24 is Gabon's first bilingual non-stop news television channel, launched on 24 May 2016. Until May 2018, Gabon 24 was part of the Gabon Télévision group.
Decree 0152 of 4 May 2018 led to the creation, organization and operation of Gabon 24, and detached the channel from the larger Gabon Télévision group, as enshrined in its article 2: "it is created and attached to the Presidency of the Republic, a public establishment, of an administrative nature, endowed with legal personality and financial management autonomy, referred to as Gabon 24."
On the occasion of the Council of Ministers of 26 February 2019, article 2 of decree 0152 was amended, changing the status of Gabon 24 from EPA (public establishment of an administrative nature) to EPIC (public establishment of an industrial and commercial nature).[1]
Broadcast in Gabon on the Canal+ Afrique service,[2] the channel is available in many countries on the African continent as well as Europe.[3]
On 30 August 2023, rebel military officers appeared on Gabon 24 announcing a coup d'état and the arrest of President Ali Bongo Ondimba.[4]
