France 24 is broadcast on two channels, one in French, the other predominantly in English with 4 to 6 hours of French per day.[1] Arabic and Spanish programming will be added in the course of 2007. German and Mandarin will be added by 2010. [2]
France 24's programming is divided more or less equally between news coverage and news magazines or special reports.
Along with 220 journalists of its own, France 24 can call on the resources of the two main French broadcasters (Groupe TF1 and France Télévisions) as well as partners such as AFP. The CEO of France 24 is Alain de Pouzilhac, and its journalist staff includes former ITN presenter Mark Owen and former TF1 newsreader Mélissa Theuriau.
