Guadeloupe viewing guide: carnival coverage, magazines and archive editions

Guadeloupe la 1ère’s carnival output includes different television formats rather than one interchangeable event recording.

The 2026 television plan separates two major parades

Guadeloupe la 1ère’s Kannaval dossier describes the 15 February Dimanche Gras parade in Pointe-à-Pitre and the 17 February Mardi Gras Giga parade in Basse-Terre as separate broadcasts. The first used a multiplex approach with different viewpoints and a principal presentation position; the second followed the Basse-Terre procession. Jessy Schuster and Rony Théophile were named for the live coverage. These are distinct event productions, rather than two names for one island-wide recording.

Magazines, archive sequences and documentaries offer different viewing

Mas Dewo is described as a weekly 26-minute magazine reviewing the weekend parades, presented by Stanley Manicord. Sonjé draws on earlier carnival archives. The plan also names Mas Ka Klé, la Porte du Retour as a documentary in the Horizon strand. A concise review, historical sequence and documentary therefore provide different perspectives from extended parade coverage. Their January and February transmission notices are archive context at this November review, not announcements of new broadcasts this week.

The wider dossier documents a multi-platform production

The main 2026 dossier separates television, radio and web/social coverage, and describes following musicians, volunteers and groups with mobile and lightweight production equipment. That explains why related material can exist as broadcast coverage, close-up features or digital extracts rather than one identical programme on every platform. For local carnival research, the named parade and editorial format narrow the relevant collection. The original plan documents the season’s intended coverage; current replay access must come from the actual publisher item rather than the press dossier alone.
