The National Council for Audiovisual Regulation (CNRA) sent a letter of formal notice to the Groupe Futurs Médias (GFM) on Monday, July 7, 2025, following repeated failures in the ” JAKAARLO ” programme, including the one broadcast on July 4, 2025. This decision follows a preliminary observation of a heated debate on 21 December in which the programme’s columnist, Mr Badara Gadiaga, had, according to the regulatory body, made proposals deemed to be violent and discourteous towards his guest, Mr Amadou BA du PASTEF. The CNRA reproaches Groupe Futurs Médias for not having taken the necessary measures despite the previous warnings. A communiqué dated 25 March 2025 had already warned against the practice of serving as a platform for persons to utter insults and to undermine the dignity of personalities and institutions. According to the CNRA press release, during the ” JAKAARLO ” programme, the columnist had shown himself to be ” particularly vehement, virulent and discourteous towards a guest using rude, degrading, devalorising and insulting terms “, seeking to ” publicly damage the latter’s dignity, respect, honour, image and reputation “. The order requires the Futures Media Group to take “appropriate measures to put a definitive end to such failures and to observe a strict application of the regulations in the ” JAKAARLO ” programme “. The CNRA warns that failure to comply with this mise en demeure would expose GFM to sanctions, notably the suspension of the “JAKAARLO” programme or the total or partial suspension of TFM programmes. In addition, in a separate press release, the CNRA called on all publishers and producers of audiovisual content to face a “recurrence” of indecent and offensive sequences, proposals and images in television series, clips and programmes. The CNRA recalls that the dissemination of such content, which infringes public morality and cultural and religious values, is formally prohibited.
