Programming Director of the Algerian Television Public Enterprise, Ammar Bourouis, has revealed that Algerian television has achieved the highest view rate during the holy month of Ramadan through the various programs offered by its eight channels, considering that the statistics of the latest survey on the ranking of television channels in Algeria were marked by “inaccuracies and favoritism.”
