Since March 2024, France 24 is reinventing and

strengthening itself with a new 360° broadcast/

digital editorial offering and a new look. This new

chapter in the history of the international news

channel aims to consolidate its status as a refe-

rence in the global audiovisual landscape by re-

maining faithful to its missions as a global public

service, along with its values and its editorial line.

A reaff irmed identity

The programme schedules ref lect a reaff irmed editorial

line. They showcase France 24’s commitment to timely and

thorough news coverage, defending human rights, f ighting

disinformation, upholding secularism, and addressing

environmental issues.

To accompany these arrangements, France 24’s branding

is being modernised along with the revitalisation of the

global channel’s identity. The new look ref lects the channel’s

editorial line and values: transparency, trust and closeness

to viewers.

Strengthened live segments

The live segments have been strengthened, with more

timely, responsive news, as well as major in-depth reports

— a strong feature of France 24 — together with all the other

topics on culture, sports and social affairs...

France 24’s new schedules also give greater prominence to

magazine programmes in the main live slots, in the same way

as features, which are becoming more visible and allowing

the programming to f low more smoothly.

These new schedules introduce a specif ic identity for

each live segment, with familiar faces, distinctive looks and

better-identif ied content. The adjustments are based on

programmes that are already well-established and popular

with France 24 viewers.

Channels that adapt to their audiences

France 24’s new schedules take into account the specif ic

characteristics of each newsroom and their audiences

in each viewing area. With French-speaking Africa being

the top viewing region for France 24 in French, the f lagship

‘Journal de l’Afrique’ programme is now also broadcast on

weekends. Meanwhile, France 24’s Arabic-language schedule

has been particularly enhanced on Saturdays and Sundays,

echoing the pace of life in the MENA region. On France 24 in

English, the increase in live programming that spans through

seven days a week means that we can better respond to the

challenges imposed by the very wide range of time zones,

thus maximising the channel’s ability to reach American,

European and Asian audiences.

An all-encompassing offering

The new editorial offering is just as much digital, with more

content produced for websites, apps and social media

platforms, thanks to the increased live coverage and

sequences that can be adapted to digital mediums.
