Subsidiary of the Gabon Television group (2016-2018) Belonging to the
Gabon Television group, Gabon 24 was officially launched on 24 May 2016. During the channel's launch ceremony, the
president of the Gabonese Republic,
Ali Bongo, declared: "This is part of our project to enrich our Gabonese audiovisual landscape. What we want is quality television."
Autonomous public service channel (since May 2018) Decree 0152, signed on May 4, 2018, marked the exit of Gabon 24 from the Gabon Television group and the evolution of its status. From then on, a provisional management was put in place, headed by journalists Ali Radjoumba and
Marie-Noëlle Ada Meyo, who worked under the supervision of the board of directors of Gabon 24. Mireille Dirat, then director of information and Alex Eboue, then antenna director, were maintained in their post. A few months later, the Council of Ministers appointed as head of the general management of Gabon 24 Laure Bigourd, whose deputy was Marie-Noëlle Ada Meyo, both graduates of the
École supérieure de journalisme de Lille. The Council of Ministers also amended the provisions of Article 2 of Decree 0152, making Gabon 24 a commercial channel: "it is created and attached to the Presidency of the Republic, a public establishment, of an industrial and commercial nature, endowed with legal personality and financial management autonomy, referred to as Gabon 24." A few days before the Council of Ministers decision, Gabon 24 announced its autonomy via a continuous broadcast, "Gabon 24 is an autonomous public service channel."
