FRANCE 24 was launched in 2006 and currently broadcasts in French, English and Arabic throughout 160 countries reaching 125 millions TV households. It offers a unique blend of international news coverage combining French appeal and an unbiased opinion on world events.

Since its launch, FRANCE 24 has been available in English to select TV markets in the United States. It has strengthened its position across the country thanks to the Galaxy 23 satellite which allows access to most cable TV providers.

“We believe there is a growing interest in the United States for news contents coming from a variety of sources and origins. 1/3 of our website‘s users already live in the United States. We were the first French TV on iPad and we got fabulous ratings from American bloggers. We are now happy to launch our French signal on DISH World, especially on such a symbolic date as Bastille Day!" says Christine Ockrent, CEO of FRANCE 24.
