Perhaps not surprising given he events of July, but BFM TV finished the month in the number 6 spot, right after the big analog-era broadcasters:

I wonder why BFM TV does so much better than most European news channels. Clearly, their format draws large audiences.


Its a lively format. And they seem to be fantastic at breaking news. Agile, adaptable. I always thought that BFMTV was so different than other EU broadcasters in that it seemed....lets say... a bit flashier than the staid button-up style on the other channels.


One of the main differences about BFMTV is they don't use the traditional round table format.

'franceinfo' launches on September 1st. The other France Télévisions channels have a ticker that pops up during most shows to promote the channel, which will be on all platforms, including TNT LCN 27.

D8 is relaunching as C8 on 5 September, the DOG on D8 changed to the new logo briefly with the date of the relaunch. I'd expect D17 and i>Télé to relaunch on the same day.

France Télévisions will launch next Thursday its news channel!
Little bit inspired by BBC News.

Retune ticker on France 2. Notice that it doesn't level up with the lower thirds.

Sorry to drag this back a few pages, but when did it become the norm in France to write phone numbers in a distinctly UK way, I.e. 01234 123456 ? I thought the French liked to write (and say) phone numbers in pairs, i.e. 01 23 45 67 ...?

Or is it simply that the phone number used is better as 818 818...?

Behind the scenes at Franceinfo. As shown this afternoon on France 2.

Seems France Televisions found a new use for the Atruim, where the Le Journal De 20 Hueres moved into proper studio, then!

Looks nice - Wonder how much of the output will find it's way onto TV5 Monde - and, even further into the future - if this will replace France 24?
Isn't France Televisions a shareholder in the venture.

As mentioned in the International News Presentation thread, Franceinfo is a collaboration between France Télévisions, Radio France, France 24 and INA.

France 24 will simulcast their French output overnight.

More TNT channels were added to Zattoo Switzerland today.

Chérie 25 (NRJ Group)
HD1 (TF1 Group)
L'Équipe 21

Franceinfo hasn't been added yet. Yet I requested those three channels to Zattoo back in July and have now been added.
