		+
		+	There is just one television station: '''Télévision Nationale du Burkina (TNB)''', also known as '''VoltaVision''', a government-owned television transmitting station, established in 1963.

		+
		+	Colour transmissions began in 1976 using the [[Wikipedia:SECAM\|SECAM]] colour broadcast system.
		+
		+
		+	==Language/s==
		+
		+	The principal language is French. Programmes would have been dubbed and /or subtitled.

		+	==[[BBC Records]]==
		+
		+	Burkina Faso (or Upper Volta) is not named in any of the main [[BBC Records]] we have referenced. Given that the country is not named in the February 1987 memo (from '''The Eighties [http://www.shillpages.com/howe/b-dw80s.htm - THE LOST CHAPTERS]'''), it is likely the series screened after that date.

		+
		+	According to Janet Fielding (who played Tegan Jovanka) and Matthew Waterhouse (Adric), they received royalties for sales to Burkina Faso. Presumably these were for [[Peter Davison stories]], rather than Tom Baker (the two companions only appeared together in [[Logopolis]]).
