Prestigethies is a regional digital news organization and web TV based in Thiès, Senegal. It covers the city’s civic life alongside national politics, sport, culture and religion, with a clear emphasis on on-the-ground reporting from the “cité du rail.” The newsroom publishes daily video bulletins in French and Wolof, produces explainers and talk segments such as Regard sur l’Actualité Internationale, and follows local institutions, from municipal councils to schools and markets. Its audience extends well beyond Thiès thanks to a large YouTube presence—over 950,000 subscribers and more than 250 million views—which ranks the channel among Senegal’s most watched online news sources.
The group is led by President–Director General Pape Doumbia and maintains a strong community profile. It organizes public events and distinctions celebrating figures who shape the city, and has partnered with the municipality to amplify Thiès’s cultural agenda. In February 2025, Prestige Thiès TV was included by the Ministry of Communication in the list of media compliant with the national press code, confirming its status as a recognized web TV.
Prestigethies targets residents of Thiès, Senegalese nationwide and the diaspora seeking fast, video-led updates grounded in local perspectives. Bilingual production, a steady cadence of field reports, and consistent attention to civic, social, religious and sporting life have made it a reliable reference point for news from the region while keeping a window open on national debates.
