France 24 (pronounced France vingt-quatre [fʁɑ̃s vɛ̃t katʁ]) is a 24-hour non-stop international news and current affairs television channel based in Paris, and broadcasts in French, English, and Arabic. The stated mission of the three channels is to "provide a global public service and a common editorial stance". It started broadcasting on 6 December 2006.
The service is aimed at the overseas market and is broadcast through satellite and cable operators throughout the world. In 2010 the France 24 started broadcasting through its own iPhone and Android apps.
Based in Issy-les-Moulineaux in the suburbs of Paris, the channel broadcasts world news. Currently it offers variants in English and Arabic in addition to French. The channel has since 2008 been wholly owned by the French government (via its holding company, France Médias Monde), having acquired the remaining shares held by its former partners Groupe TF1 and France Télévisions. Its budget is approximately €100 million per year.
France 24 is expected to broadcast Spanish edition in 2017.
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.
