Saaid Amzazi , government spokesperson and Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, was the guest of the television news of the first national channel Al Oula on Sunday. On this occasion, he described the appearance of epidemic clusters at the end of the confinement as a "natural fact".
The medical biotechnology laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Rabat announced that it has successfully sequenced the entire genetic code of the coronavirus and that a potential vaccine will be ready very soon.
Contrary to previous years, the flagship show of the Al Oula channel, "Hidden Camera" is not included in the programs offered during the month of Ramadan.
Describing them as traitors to the homeland, the host of a children’s program on the Al Oula television channel, called for the killing of violators of the state of health emergency measures instituted by the Moroccan authorities to curb the coronavirus epidemic.
During the lockdown, Moroccans remain glued to the television and most often follow television series, the news, the weather or programs related to the news of the coronavirus.
Despite the annual subsidies, estimated by the Court of Auditors at 1 billion dirhams, the two national television channels continue to show an annual deficit of 200 million dirhams.
For those who spoke of a decline in Moroccans’ interest in national television, they are mistaken. Not only do Moroccan viewers prefer their channels during Ramadan, but they are also more than 80% to watch them, leaving only crumbs to the more than 1,000 other channels available on satellite.
The sketch by Abdellah Elberkaoui, in Stand Up, which had sparked a lively controversy on social networks due to its alleged racism, has just earned the SNRT a reprimand from the High Authority for Audiovisual Communication (HACA) through a decision of the Superior Council for Audiovisual Communication (CSCA): a warning and an obligation to notify the Council’s decision and to publish it in the official bulletin.
The High Authority for Audiovisual Communication (HACA) has just imposed fines on the 2m and Al Aoula channels for non-compliance with their specifications, particularly regarding the duration of advertising.
