Broadcast media
The government exercises stringent control over broadcasting media; state-operated Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV), which provides both television and radio services, was the sole officially recognized and fully licensed broadcaster until 2007. In that year, the government granted licenses to two private television broadcasters and one private radio broadcaster. Currently, approximately 70 privately owned but unlicensed radio stations function under a system of "administrative tolerance," indicating that these stations may face closure at any moment (2023).
