Congo, live — TV & news from home.
Watch and read the homeland in real time. Streams are broadcast by the stations themselves on their official channels — we link you straight to them.
LIVE · RTNC
RTNC — Radio-Télévision Nationale Congolaise
Congo's national broadcaster streams its news — including the 8pm journal and news in the national languages — live on its official YouTube channel. We link there directly because the stream is provided by RTNC itself: an always-on embed could not be verified from an official source, and we will not point you to pirate streams. When a broadcast is live, it appears at the top of the channel.
📰 Actualité.cd — headlines from Kinshasa
One of Congo's most-read online newsrooms: politics, security in the east, economy and sport, updated through the day.

RTNC also publishes full news editions on its official channel after broadcast — search “RTNC journal” on the channel to catch up on any day you missed. For community announcements closer to home, see our Community News Board.
All streams and news are provided by the broadcasters and publishers themselves on their official channels and sites; Umoja243 does not host or restream any broadcast. Schedules and availability are the broadcasters' own.
