7Info is an Ivorian all‑news broadcaster and digital newsroom that frames national stories “seen from Ivory Coast.” Operated by Optimum Media SA and based in Cocody, Abidjan, it runs a rolling news service across terrestrial DTT (channel 7), Canal+ (channel 207) and Orange TV, alongside live streaming. The brand grew out of the online outlet PôleAfrique.info, which rebranded as 7info.ci in 2019; the 24/7 channel launched in 2021. Programming combines hourly and half‑hour bulletins with field reports, explainers and audience‑driven segments. Flagship shows include 7Actu, 7info Le Soir and Le Soir Week‑end, while “Cyber Crim’” examines cybercrime and online harms. A fact‑checking desk publishes verification pieces during major news cycles.
The newsroom emphasizes mobility: a network of rapid‑response video journalists (JIR) files from across the country, and smartphones are widely used as primary cameras, a choice the management presents as a hallmark of the channel. Editorially, 7Info covers politics, the economy, public policy, culture and sport, with sustained election reporting; in October 2025 it marked its fourth anniversary by outlining its plan for the 2025 presidential coverage. The channel was founded by media executives Jean‑Philippe Kaboré, Philippe Di Nacera and Yves Zogbo Junior, who position 7Info as a public‑facing service that gives space to citizen voices and on‑the‑ground debate. Optimum Media, the publisher, is a Ivory Coast joint‑stock company with 100 million FCFA in capital. Through television and the website, 7Info aims to deliver accessible, continuous news to audiences nationwide.
