Does anyone know when BFM Paris is set to launch?

And speaking of French news channels, London Lite posted this LCI top-of-the-hour sequence in the French TV thread:

An interesting -- but not quite seamless -- combination of local and national/international segments on the Twin Cities' KMSP in 1983 (The national/international segments, and the newscast's overall branding, came from Independent Network News in New York):

They do love their stereo mic setups in France, don't they?

If you're referring to the presenter having two mics on - that almost certainly isn't stereo mining, and is instead two mics being used in mono. It is either to allow them to have a main and a spare (so you have a backup if one mic fails) or to allow the presenter to turn to people either side without going off mic (though you have to be very careful to avoid phasing issues)

Some main and spare mic setups will have two lapel mics on a single clip (so the main and spare mics are in the same place) - but should the mic clip fall off you've lost both mics in that configuration...
WW Update and London Lite gave kudos

I meant stereo as in 2 of them rather than being panned separately, but sure, it does give you the resilience option too.

Good comments about mic clips though!

What we briefly see of the Sky TG24 graphics there (at the very end) are very similar to Sky News.
