It is again possible to capture the national station, FM 105 and the regional station of the Littoral for people of Douala.

A week after the fall of the Tower in the centre of diffusion of the CRTV at Logbessou, serving the Littoral and Southwest, these radio stations began broadcasting on their dedicated channel.

And the next day 4 October on the new - temporary - broadcast site in Douala, Amadou Vamoulke, Director general of the Cameroon Radio Television, was on the ground in order to 'see the implementation of emergency measures that the Government prescribed to CRTV'. "I was pleased to note that all the force, technical know-how of CRTV is deployed so that the radio signals are reinstated.

The Dg visited the regional Telecommunications service of Akwa where the technical teams were at work since the beginning of the week in order to restore the signal. On-site, Boniface Takou, Director of broadcasting, communications, infrastructure and other facilities at the CRTV gave him some explanations on the repair process and the small remaining settings.

Referring to prospects for CRTV and about the impact that the collapse of the Tower in Logbessou could have on the beginning of emission of the regional television, Amadou Vamoulke clarified that: "we have not yet had the necessary funding at the level of the special fund of telecommunications.

But in all cases, whether there is or not, we will ensure that the first quarter for 2015, will be done and we can assist in the implementation of this television. It is an imperative because 2015 is the year of the digital switchover and we would like to be prepared."

In conclusion, Amadou Vamoulke expressed his gratitude to the Camtel branch, "which has made available its Tower and part of its premises.
