Description
Radio Bénin is the national radio channel of Benin's state broadcaster, carried on an FM network reaching from Cotonou in the south to Malanville on the Niger border, and also on digital terrestrial channel 21. It is a general-interest service in French built around news bulletins, press reviews and long-form debate, with regular strands on health, the environment, local history and the lives of women in the provinces. The former ORTB was absorbed in November 2023 into a new state company, the Société de Radio et de Télévision du Bénin, which also runs Kiff FM, Radio Bénin Alafia, Radio Parakou and the Bénin TV channels. Recent editions of the station's programmes are published as podcasts on the broadcaster's own site.

Contact route
the broadcaster's shared contact page carries a working Contact Form 7 form (name, email, subject, message) plus a switchboard telephone, a WhatsApp number and a post box repeated in the footer of every page; Radio Benin's own station page adds its own Facebook, X, Instagram and YouTube accounts, which are the station's rather than the group's, so the social route is the station's own and the written and spoken routes are the broadcaster's

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| title | ORTB Radio Bénin → SRTB Radio Bénin | the broadcaster's own site brands itself SRTB, Societe de Radio et de Television du Benin, in its logo, its page title and its footer copyright, and uses that name 463 times against 24 legacy mentions of ORTB; the station itself it calls Radio Benin |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| correction to your note: the site does not call itself ORTB | it brands itself SRTB throughout, "Societe de Radio et de Television du Benin", in the logo, the footer copyright and every page title
source |
| a WhatsApp channel linked in the site header | a one-way broadcast channel that takes no replies, so it is not a route to a human
source |
| a staff webmail login on port 2096 in the footer, and the organisation legalName recorded in the page's JSON-LD | the first is a staff mail client; the second reads as a single lowercase personal handle left in the Rank Math schema by whoever built the site, not the broadcaster's legal name

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
