Télé Congo, derived from Télévision Congolaise, is the national television of the Republic of Congo. Founded on 27 November 1962 with a three-day experimental service funded by French company OCORA, it started broadcasting operations in August 1963. It is the oldest television network in sub-Saharan Africa. As late as the 1970s, it operated on one transmitter in Brazzaville.
