Watch Live TV from Gabon

The mass media in Gabon is primarily monitored by the Gabon government. Although the main newspapers are associated with the government, there are private broadcasters, and private weekly newspapers that are mostly controlled by opposition parties. There are two major television stations. One is a French radio network and the other is a provincial station.

Radiodiffusion-Télévision Gabonaise (RTG) was established in 1959. Radio Télévision Gabonaise is one of the state run television stations. Two channels are operated under their network. Gabon 24 is Gabon's first bilingual non-stop news television channel which launched on 24 May 2016. Télé africa is one of the four privately owned television stations.

Although the constitution and law prohibit arbitrary interference with privacy, family, home, or correspondence, the government does not always respect these prohibitions in practice. As part of criminal investigations, police request and easily obtain search warrants from judges, sometimes after the fact. Authorities reportedly monitor private telephone conversations, personal mail, and the movement of citizens.
