Public broadcaster SNRT launches fourth edition of Open Days for Moroccans Abroad
The National Company of Broadcasting and Television (SNRT), Morocco's public broadcasting corporation, marked National Migrant Day on Sunday, August 10, by inaugurating the fourth edition of its Open Days for Moroccans living abroad. The event, held at SNRT's Rabat headquarters, carried the theme: «SNRT: A Permanent Communication Bridge with Moroccans Worldwide». The program opened with guided tours for young members of the Moroccan diaspora, offering a behind-the-scenes look at various radio and TV departments. Visitors discovered SNRT's bouquet of nine general and thematic TV channels, four national radio stations, and 11 regional stations. As highlighted in a press release, this public service media offering is designed to meet audience expectations in information, culture, and entertainment. Sessions also emphasized the broadcaster's core values, including respect for freedom of expression, pluralism, the right to information, editorial independence, and adherence to national laws. Presentations underscored SNRT's central role in delivering high-quality public service media, fostering societal dialogue, strengthening social cohesion, promoting Moroccan creativity, and supporting the national audiovisual industry. Participants were introduced to SNRT's linguistically and culturally diverse programming, which includes content in Arabic and Amazigh (in its three variants: Tachelhit, Tarifit, and Tamazight), as well as in French, Spanish, and English. This approach reflects the company's integrated strategy to place Moroccans abroad at the heart of its mission. Diaspora-focused TV shows such as Asdae Al Jalia, Maghribiates, and Canal Atlas, along with radio programs like Marocains du Monde and Qadaya Al Jalia, were presented as platforms that reflect the experiences and achievements of Moroccans abroad. Youth-oriented programs such as Sawt Achabab and Monadara were also highlighted for giving young people a voice in both national and international debates. The event also detailed SNRT's rigorous selection process for TV and radio projects, which is based on precise criteria, data analysis, focus groups, and review by an ethics committee to ensure compliance with editorial guidelines and the company's charter. SNRT's digital strategy was showcased through platforms such as the award-winning SNRT Live app, Botola, StandUp, Lalla Laâroussa, and the VOD platform Forja. These services, available in HD satellite and online, aim to keep Moroccans abroad permanently connected to their homeland. According to SNRT, the Open Days initiative forms part of a broader strategy to reinforce its role as a citizen-focused public media institution—maintaining continuous dialogue with audiences, gathering feedback, and positioning itself as a modern, forward-looking player in Morocco's audiovisual landscape.

Morocco Makes History: SNRT to Deploy Spidercam in All 9 AFCON Stadiums
Marrakech – In an unprecedented move, Morocco's National Broadcasting and Television Company (SNRT) has launched a tender for deploying Spidercam technology across all nine stadiums hosting the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025). This marks the first time in AFCON history that this advanced aerial camera system will be used throughout an entire tournament. The Spidercam system, which provides spectacular aerial views of the playing field, will enhance the viewing experience for millions of spectators across Africa and beyond. SNRT has previous experience with this technology, having successfully used it during the 2022 Club World Cup and the 2023 Morocco-Brazil friendly match. According to the tender launched by SNRT on July 30, the total cost for installing these systems in all nine stadiums is estimated at MAD 9,579,552 ($957,955). The deadline for bid submissions is set for September 10. The distribution of costs across the nine venues varies based on stadium specifications. In Rabat, which hosts four stadiums, the allocations are: Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium at MAD 1,430,832 ($143,083), Olympic Stadium at MAD 844,332 ($84,433), Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium at MAD 827,964 ($82,796), and El Barid Stadium at MAD 658,176 ($65,818). For other host cities, the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca is allocated MAD 1,371,600 ($137,160), while the Grand Stadium of Marrakech and Adrar Stadium in Agadir will each receive MAD 1,214,820 ($121,482). The Fez Stadium is budgeted at MAD 850,140 ($85,014), and Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tangier at MAD 1,166,868 ($116,687). SNRT recently conducted a successful full-scale test of the Spidercam during the Morocco-Benin friendly match on June 9 at the Fez Stadium. This test validated the technical aspects of the system and provided a preview of the television experience SNRT plans to offer during AFCON 2025. This implementation represents another milestone, as it's the first time the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has entrusted the host country's national television with producing matches for this competition. The dynamic images captured during the test match demonstrated the immersive potential of this technology, particularly in slow-motion replays and close-up shots of game action. The Spidercam system works by suspending a camera from cables with four high-positioned anchor points that cover the entire field. It carries an HD or 4K broadcast camera with motorized zoom and a gyrostabilized head, providing smooth and immersive images. The system is remotely controlled by two operators – one for movement and another for framing – and transmits video in real-time via fiber optic cable.

Sources from within SNRT have told media outlets that clear instructions have been issued to ensure all stadiums are equipped at least four days before the tournament begins. This timeframe will allow technical and engineering teams sufficient time to test systems and coordinate broadcasting with CAF and international production partners. Morocco, hosting the competition for the second time after the 1988 edition, aims to impress not only with the quality of its sports infrastructure but also with innovations in broadcasting. The implementation of this technology is being carried out in collaboration with specialized international technical providers who possess the necessary equipment and expertise for deploying and operating these aerial cameras during live broadcasts. This deployment is part of a broader strategy to showcase Morocco's expertise in organizing large-scale sporting events, as the North African country also prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. The AFCON 2025 tournament is scheduled to run from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. Tags: AFCON 2025Moroccan stadiumsSNRT
