Is LC1 a TF1 news channel?


Yes, it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cha%C3%AEne_Info

Here's its 1994 launch:

Will LCI finally launch on TNT after the DTT switchover on April 5th?

I'm liking the 'evolution' of the brand, with the same logo and musical hook running from day one to now. Also liking the animating on effect for the ticker/headline bar.
Better than a crash fade on to screen (looking at you Sky News) or a boring wipe right to left (now at you BBC News Channel)

You mean free TNT?* I believe so, if this message on their website is of any indication:

"Bienvenue sur LCI en direct et rendez-vous sur la TNT gratuite le 5 avril !"

* Of course, LCI has long been a pay channel on TNT.

...albeit with minor variations:

Anyone planning to see Zootropolis which will be released on 25 March in the UK and Ireland?

By default, most releases around the world have a moose as a male news presenter. Named Peter Moosebridge, he is indeed voiced by Peter Mansbridge, who anchors CBC's The National .

But some countries have another animal in place of the moose. The version released in the UK and Ireland is said to have a corgi presenter. (I wonder if the character will be voiced by Huw Edwards or not.)

Other confirmed changes include:
Arrow The Brazilian version has a jaguar named Onçardo Boi Chá, voiced by Jornal da Band presenter Ricardo Boechat (don't know how to pronounce his family name, though).
Arrow The Australian and New Zealand release has David Koalabell, voiced by Australian entertainer David Campbell who also appears on Today on 9.

Okay, it's Vassos Alexander as Moosos Alexander, apparently.

So are the UK & Ireland not getting a corgi after all?
