Cote D’Ivoire is one of the most prominent countries within Francophone Africa, and has experienced high economic growth in the past years. The media in Cote D’Ivoire has played an important role in reporting on recent conflicts and opportunities, however, media is still largely controlled by government-owned media entities. The public Radiodiffusion-Television Ivoireienne (RTI) owns some of the top television and radio stations in the country, including TV stations RTI1 or La Première, a news station, and RTI2 or TV2, an entertainment station. French broadcasters Canal+ and France24 are also broadcast in the country through satellite connectivity and paid subscriptions.

The advertising landscape in Cote D’Ivoire is quite robust following the recent economic growth in the country and boosted by a young consumer base. In 2016 it was estimated that the total advertising spend was $110 million, and international retailers such as the French multinational Carrefour have increased their footprint in Cote D’Ivoire. While traditional media including radio, TV, print, and outdoor advertising remain strong, as higher percentages of the population come online, it is expected that digital modes will also increase in power.

A recent GeoPoll study in Cote D’Ivoire, run in conjunction with GeoPoll Audience Measurement’s regular data collection in the country, examined the usage of traditional and new media, along with purchase habits for several fast-moving consumer goods.

Traditional Media in Cote D’Ivoire

media cote d'ivoireGeoPoll’s study of the media landscape in Cote D’Ivoire finds that Television is the most-consumed traditional media, with 48% watching TV for more than two hours a day, and an additional 43% watching at least some TV each day. The youngest age group (15-24) report slightly higher viewership than older age groups. Radio also performs well, with 32% listening for between more than two hours per day, and a total of 84% listening to radio each day.

Both radio and newspapers are more popular with the older age groups, who are more likely to read a daily newspaper and report listening to the radio for more than two hours. The older age group is also slightly more likely to read a magazine every day than younger populations.

Billboards are found to be a polarizing medium, with 38% saying they would not be likely to read or react to a billboard advertisement, and 21% saying they would be highly likely to read or react to an out-of-home ad.

TV Ratings in Cote D’Ivoire

Looking at the ratings of TV stations in Cote D’Ivoire for January to February 2020, we can see the dominance of RTI1 and RTI2. RT1 or La Première had a total share of 23% of the TV viewing audience in January 2020, and 16% in February 2020, while RTI2 had a share of 13% in January and 8% in February. Canal+ Sport was the next most popular station, with 8% of share in January and 11% of share in February. Demonstrating the diverse interests of the audience in Cote D’Ivoire, other top stations include Canal+, NovelasTV, NollywoodTV, France24, National Geographic, TraceTV, and SyFy. Stations that are more popular with female audiences include NollywoodTV and Novelas TV, which are both entertainment channels. 

Internet and Social Media in Cote D’Ivoire

Internet usage in Ivory Coast is low compared to other West African countries such as Nigeria, and GeoPoll found that 41% of our SMS respondents access the Internet on most days, but for less than one hour a day, with only 13% accessing the internet for one to four hours per day. Despite this, several media outlets have started using social media and messaging applications to reach their audience, including La Monde, which has used WhatsApp to grow its audience in Francophone Africa. This study confirmed the dominance of Facebook and WhatsApp in Cote D’Ivoire, with Facebook having the highest levels of use: 39% state that they use Facebook for more than two hours a day, compared to 9% who say the same for Instagram, 20% for YouTube, and 34% for WhatsApp.

Every two years the AFCON brings the top footballing nations from across Africa together to battle and crown a champion. There was a little more volume to the buzz this year because the tournament was enlarged to accommodate new teams. As you could imagine, the competitive spirit is palpable around the tournament and the live television coverage of the matches is popular among many.

Among the perennial favourites to lift the title are always the mighty Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire. For the first time this year, our flagship GeoPoll Audience Measurement platform was gathering detailed audience viewership data throughout every moment of AFCON action on Ivorian TV. In this report, we will examine the audience share associated with each of the matches that Cote d’Ivoire played during the 2019 AFCON tournament, as well as the viewership of pre-game and post-game coverage.

The AFCON tournament schedule for Cote d’Ivoire’s National Team can be found below for reference:

Audience Share Increased With Each Match in the Series

Overall, the AFCON matches showcasing the Elephants were a hit with viewers in the market. Interest gained significant momentum as the tournament built up from the group stage matches though to the quarterfinals, where Cote d’Ivoire made their exit. Viewers were engaged with the group stage matches but many more viewers watched the round of 16 match, Cote d’Ivoire vs. Mali, and the quarterfinals vs. Algeria.

During the group stage of the tournament, there was an approximately 20% increase in viewership with each game in the series. The first match, Cote d’Ivoire vs. South Africa, the second match, Cote d’Ivoire vs. Morocco, and the third match of the group stage, Cote d’Ivoire vs. Namibia, had average audience shares of 23.11%, 45.45%, and 64.14% respectively. Beyond the group stage, increases in audience share were slower and then hit a plateaued for the quarterfinal match, as you can see in the tables below.

The findings that show an increased average audience share for each match in the series indicate the growth of interest that surrounded the tournament as the home team advanced to higher-stakes matches. The increase could be due to excitement, patriotism, word-of-mouth, team success, etc. but it is not unusual for higher-stakes matches to draw in larger crowds. The plateau seen in audience share between the round of 16 and the quarterfinal may be a little more unusual to see. It is important to note, however, once the average audience share reached 77% for the round of 16 match, it is plausible to think that all of the Football fans who could make time to watch the match, were watching the match. 77% share is an overwhelming majority of viewers to be watching the same content, which left very little room for interest to increase for the following match.

Stations with highest viewership

The broadcast stations flip-flopped in popularity. Looking at the final three games played by Cote d’Ivoire during the tournament, there was higher viewership on CANAL+ Sport than on RTI-1 for the group stage and round of 16 matches, but there was significantly higher viewership of the quarterfinal match on RTI-1 than on CANAL+ Sport.

Pre-Game Viewership Vs. During Game Viewership Vs. Post-Game Viewership

Pre-game coverage of the matches hovered in the 20%-40% audience share range without much pattern, yet the interest in the post-game coverage grew with each game in the series. As you can see in the chart below, the audience shares for post-game coverage increased with each game through the group stage and round of 16, just as the audience shares for game coverage increased with each game. The quarterfinal match broke the trend in audience share increase for post-game coverage, however it would be anticipated to have lower interest in post-game coverage for that match. During that match, Algeria beat Cote d’Ivoire in a close game, which booted Cote d’Ivoire from advancing in the tournament. Seeing as many people would not watch post-game discussion and highlights from a game that was lost by their favorite team, it is still impressive to see a 48.54% audience share for the post-game coverage of the quarterfinal match. Although there are some individual matches where you see higher audience share in the pre-game coverage than the post-game coverage, post-game coverage is still more popular overall.

Côte d’Ivoire – Rapport de mesure d’audience: les téléspectateurs de la CAN 2019

 

Tous les deux ans, la CAN réunit les meilleurs pays du football d’Afrique pour se battre et couronner un champion. Le buzz a été un peu plus intense cette année car le tournoi a été élargi pour accueillir de nouvelles équipes. Comme on peut l’imaginer, l’esprit de compétition est palpable autour du tournoi et la couverture télévisée en direct des matches est populaire parmi beaucoup d’autres.

Les éléphants de la Côte d’Ivoire sont toujours parmi les favoris. Pour la première fois cette année, notre plateforme phare GeoPoll Audience Measurement rassemblait des données détaillées sur l’audience à chaque instant de l’action de la CAN sur la télévision ivoirienne. Dans ce rapport, nous examinerons la part d’audience associée à chacun des matches joués par la Côte d’Ivoire lors du tournoi AFCON 2019, ainsi que l’audience des reportages avant et après le match.

Le calendrier du tournoi de la CAN de l’équipe nationale de Côte d’Ivoire est disponible ci-dessous à titre de référence:

Phase du Tournoi

La part d’audience augmente à chaque match du tournoi

Globalement, les matches de la CAN contre les éléphants ont été un succès auprès des téléspectateurs sur le marché. L’intérêt s’est accru considérablement alors que le tournoi se développait depuis les matches de la phase de groupes jusqu’aux quarts de finale, où la Côte d’Ivoire est sortie. Les spectateurs étaient engagés lors des matches de la phase de groupes mais beaucoup plus de téléspectateurs ont regardé les 16es de finale, Côte d’Ivoire contre le Mali et les quarts de finale contre l’Algérie.

Pendant la phase de groupes du tournoi, le nombre de téléspectateurs a augmenté d’environ 20% à chaque match de la série. Le premier match Côte d’Ivoire contre l’Afrique du Sud, le deuxième match Côte d’Ivoire contre le Maroc et le troisième match de la phase de groupes Côte d’Ivoire contre la Namibie avaient une part d’audience moyenne de 23.11%. 45.45% et 64.14% respectivement. Au-delà de la phase de groupes, l’augmentation de la part d’audience a été plus lente, puis a atteint un plateau pour le match de quart de finale, comme on peut le constater dans les tableaux ci-dessous.

Les résultats montrant une augmentation de la part d’audience moyenne pour chaque match de la série indiquent l’intérêt croissant qui entoure le tournoi alors que l’équipe locale accédait à des matches à enjeux plus importants. L’augmentation pourrait être due à l’excitation, au patriotisme, au bouche à oreille, au succès de l’équipe, etc., mais il n’est pas inhabituel que des matches à plus haut enjeu attirent de plus grandes foules. Le plateau vu en part d’audience entre les huitièmes de finale et les quarts de finale est peut-être un peu plus inhabituel. Il est important de noter cependant qu’une fois que la part d’audience moyenne a atteint 77% pour les huitièmes de finale, il est plausible de penser que tous les fans de Football pouvant prendre le temps de regarder le match regardaient le match. 77% des téléspectateurs sont une majorité écrasante de téléspectateurs à visionner le même contenu, ce qui laisse très peu de place pour que l’intérêt augmente au prochain match.

Stations les plus regardées

Les stations de radiodiffusion ont basculé en popularité. En ce qui concerne les trois derniers matches joués par la Côte d’Ivoire pendant le tournoi, le nombre de téléspectateurs de CANAL + Sport était supérieur à celui de RTI-1 pour la phase de groupes et les 16es de finale, mais le nombre de téléspectateurs a été nettement plus élevé en quart de finale de RTI. -1 que sur CANAL + Sport.

Audience avant le match, pendant le match, après le match

La couverture avant-match a oscillé entre 20% et 40% de part d’audience, sans tendance claire, mais l’intérêt pour la couverture d’après les matchs a augmenté au fur et à mesure de la série. Comme on peut le constater dans le tableau ci-dessous, la part d’audience pour la couverture d’après une partie a augmenté avec chaque match jusqu’à la phase de groupes et aux 16èmes, tout comme la part d’audience pour la couverture des jeux a augmenté avec chaque match. Le match en quart de finale a brisé la tendance à la hausse de la part d’audience pour la couverture d’après le match, mais on s’attendrait à ce que la couverture après le match suscite moins d’intérêt. Durant ce match, l’Algérie a battu la Côte d’Ivoire lors d’une partie serrée qui a empêché la Côte d’Ivoire d’avancer plus loin dans le tournoi. Étant donné que de nombreuses personnes ne regarderaient pas les discussions d’après-match et les faits saillants d’un match perdu par leur équipe favorite, il est toujours impressionnant de voir une part d’audience de 48.54% pour la couverture d’après les quarts de finale. Bien que dans certaines parties, la part d’audience couverte par la couverture d’avant-match soit supérieure à celle d’après-match, la couverture après-match est toujours plus populaire dans l’ensemble.
