96Television overviewOnly a third of the Haitian population has access to television, according to researchby the US-based media development organisation Internews www.internews.org in2011.The DAGMAR media audience survey of November 2010 showed that televisionwas the most important source of information for 23.1% of respondents, whereasradio was the most important source for 58.9%.This low level of TV viewing is partly a result of extreme poverty. According to theWorld Bank, 80% of the population lives on less than US$ 2 per day.But television viewing is also hampered by a lack of access to electricity.In late 2012, the national power company, Électricité d’Haïti (EDH), was only able toprovide about six or seven hours of electricity a day to most parts of the country.Only people with an independent electricity supply, such as a generator or a largebattery, were able to watch TV regularly.A media audience survey of 4,907 people conducted by the Haitian market researchagency DAGMAR in November 2010 indicated that television was the second largestsource of news and information after radio.Only 7.4% of respondents said television was their first choice for receiving newsand information. That compared with 83.7% who preferred radio.But a much higher proportion of those interviewed – 27.5% - said television was theirmost trusted source of information. 58.8% cited radio.96
97Separate research by Internews in 2011 indicated that television was only the fourthmost common source of information for Haitians, after radio, the church and word ofmouth.There were about 60 TV stations broadcasting free to air in Haiti in late 2012, butmost of them were very small.Haitian TV stations mainly broadcast films recorded on DVDs and programmespirated without authorisation from foreign satellite TV channels.They do not pay any fees or royalties to the originators of this video material.The high percentage of foreign programme content on Haiti’s TV stations means thatmuch of the programming is in French rather than Creole.The largest and most popular stations are:Télé Caraïbes www.radiotelevisioncaraibes.com – a channel owned by mediaentrepreneur Patrick Moussignac. He also owns Haiti’s most popular radiostation, Caraïbes FM. The television station only broadcasts directly to Portau-Prince,but many of its programmes are relayed without authorisation bylocal TV stations in the interior. In September 2012, Télé Caraïbes did notbroadcast news, although it did have plans to launch a daily news programmesoon.Télé Ginen www.rtghaiti.com – a channel owned by media entrepreneurJean Lucien Borges. He also owns Haiti’s second most popular radio stationRadio Ginen. Télé Ginen has several repeater stations in the interior.97
