AREWA24 is a Nigerian satellite television channel available on DSTV, GOtv, and Startimes that showcases the lifestyle of the Northern Region, Nigeria. It is the first free-to-air channel to use the Hausa language.




History


Founded in 2014, AREWA24 is a Nigerian media corporation that includes a television network, a Hausa production studio and a global Subscription video on demand service. It is the world's largest Hausa satellite TV station with, as of September 2024, a reported global viewership of 40 million.
It is fully distributed as a Free-to-air satellite channel and as part of all major Pay TV lineups – DStv, GOtv, StarTimes, TSTV and Canal+.
According to AREWA24, it is home to the largest library of HD Hausa language content across genres and formats anywhere in the world.
Guided by research that demonstrates that entertainment and fictional dramas can impact social change, much of AREWA24's programming addresses community-relevant issues such as girl education, corruption, women's issues, health challenges, interreligious violence, youth employment, and conservation.
In these areas, AREWA24 has partnered with the MacArthur Foundation, Ford Foundation, United Nations, WHO, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Equal Access International, Wild Africa Fund, and Beyond Conflict.
In July 2024, the channel announced its first feature, The Jaru Road, described as an "authentic Northern Nigeria story" produced in English, and one of five AREWA24 films slated for production in 2024–25.
In October 2024, AREWA24 and Canal+ International announced a partnership that would expand AREWA24's reach in West Africa from four countries—Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and Chad—to eight and include Benin Republic, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Togo.
