France 24 (France vingt-quatre in French) is a French publicly funded international news television network based in Paris.[1] Its channels, broadcast in French, English, Arabic and Spanish, are aimed at the overseas market.[2]
Based in the Paris suburb of Issy-les-Moulineaux, the service started on 6 December 2006. It is aimed at a worldwide market and is generally broadcast by pay television providers around the world, but additionally, in 2010, France 24 began broadcasting online through its own iPhone and Android apps. It is a provider of live streaming world news which can be viewed via its website, YouTube, and various mobile devices and digital media players. The stated mission of the channels is to "provide a global public service and a common editorial stance".[3]
Since 2008 the channel has been wholly owned by the French government, via its holding company France Médias Monde, having bought out the minority share of the former partners: Groupe TF1 and France Télévisions. The budget of France Médias Monde (France 24, RFI and MCD) is approximately €300 million per year.[4] The current director of France 24 is Vanessa Burggraf.[5]
