France 24 (France vingt-quatre, pronounced France van-cat [fʁɑ̃s vɛ̃t katʁ]) is a 24-hour international news and current affairs television network, based in Paris. Its channels broadcast, respectively, in: French, English, and Arabic; a Spanish channel is also planned for September 2017.
Based in Issy-les-Moulineaux, in the suburbs of Paris, the service started on 6 December 2006. It is aimed at a worldwide market and is generally broadcast via satellite and cable operators around the world, but additionally, in 2010, France 24 began broadcasting through its own iPhone and Android apps. The stated mission of the three channels is to "provide a global public service and a common editorial stance".
Since 2008 the channel has been wholly owned by the French government, via its holding company France Médias Monde, having bought out the minority share of the former partners: Groupe TF1 and France Télévisions. The budget is approximately €m100 million per year.
France 24 is broadcast on three channels: in French, in English, and in Arabic.
France 24's programming is divided more or less equally between news coverage and news magazines or special reports.
Along with 260 journalists of its own, France 24 can call on the resources of the two main French broadcasters (Groupe TF1 and France Télévisions) as well as partners such as AFP and RFI. The CEO of France 24 is Alain de Pouzilhac. From 19 May 2010, France 24 unveiled a new schedule that prioritizes the morning and evening slots, anchored live by the network's editorial staff. More programming space than ever before goes to business, sport, culture, and studio discussion.
