State-run CRTV operates national TV and radio networks and provincial radio stations.

State TV’s monopoly was broken with the arrival in 2001 of TV Max, Cameroon’s first private TV station. Dozens of private radio stations sprang up following a liberalisation of telecommunications in 2000.

Newspapers - the public’s main source of news - are subject to considerable official restrictions.
