PROGRAMME SCHEDULE
FRANCE 24's programming is divided more or less equally between news coverage and news magazines or special reports. Our programs are updated more frequently than those presented on classic news channels.
The content of the programming is identical in all the languages that are broadcast (French and English, and soon Arabic), with occasional simultaneous translation for live events.
News reports are initially produced in one of the 3 languages, then adapted into the other two languages. FRANCE 24 is not a ‘translated’ channel – rather, it is one that offers a unique editorial mix across languages.
Prime time
FRANCE 24 is organized around two prime-time slots:
* 6–9 am
* 7-11 pm
Reactivity and flexibility
At FRANCE 24, reactivity is our watchword. Programming is scaled and flexible, and can be easily modified with respect to world events and the strategic choices of our editorial team.
Other than the classic ‘breaking news’ coverage during major events, the editorial team is free to create its own news, organize special themes and coverage, and decide which major events to broadcast live.
Beyond the tip of the iceberg
A variety of daily and weekly programs provide an in-depth analysis of the news and insight as to what is happening behind the headlines.
* Regional focus (Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, France).
* Specialized commentators (international politics).
* Special reports on key themes (the environment, humanitarian activities, technology, health, etc).
* A weekly program dedicated to French politics, presented in an international context.
Discussion and Debate
FRANCE 24 is dedicated to discussion and debate, and offers ample opportunity for guests to engage in both on its English and French channels. Programming includes:
* A daily debate among three participants, in two languages; a talk show featuring correspondents and guest interviews.
* Each Friday, The Talk of Paris brings together a well-known guest with experts who may present differing viewpoints in a highly-charged debate.
