Wannel TV is a Senegal-based audiovisual media company and general-interest channel registered as a Société par Actions Simplifiée in 2022 in Dakar. The outlet is led by Director of Publication Khalifa Diakhaté with editor-in-chief Ndèye Mariame Gaye. It produces and distributes original television journalism and cultural programming for audiences in Senegal and abroad.
Its daily reporting and live coverage appear under “Le Viseur de Wannel,” spanning politics, justice, society, sport and international news. The outlet publishes analysis and op-eds in the “Analyses-Décryptages” section, pairing reporting with context and informed commentary. Signature shows include “Mots contre Maux,” a recurring reflection on ethical and social questions, and “Dakkantal,” an interview format with artists and cultural figures. The documentary strand “Découverte” profiles places and traditions, from a film on the holy city of Touba to comprehensive coverage of the Lébou rite Tourou Mame Ndiaré in Yoff.
Beyond editorial content, Wannel TV runs a production arm that creates institutional films, advertorials and TV spots for public agencies and private brands. Recent work includes a film for SISDAK/Expo Santé OCI 2025, a Ministry of Health piece on emergency care consultations, and event content for Marrakech Air Show. The channel presents itself as going “beyond the news,” favoring analysis, context and solutions-oriented reporting in the general interest. Its programs are available online, with a dedicated Android app, and the company also produces documentaries and reports for other local and international broadcasters.
