Cotonou - Post Report Question and Answers

English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?

There are no English'language newspapers. You can get an English-language satellite package out of South Africa, with some American channels, for anywhere from about $20 to $150/month, depending on the package. - May 2013


DSTV; various prices with the most complete Sat TV package around $100 per month. - Mar 2013


I get the U.S. Armed Forces Network (AFN) and I have the only embassy house that has the big dish required to get all 10 AFN channels. Most people get the South African DSTV satellite package. No English language publications are available. - Dec 2011
