France 24, a privately owned entity headquartered in France, and part of France Medias Monde, was founded in 2006 with approximately 1550 employees. It specializes in broadcast television and radio, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company operates as a publicly funded international news broadcaster, launched to provide a French perspective on global affairs. The network transmits separate television feeds in French, English, Arabic, and Spanish to a worldwide audience. Its programming schedule combines live news bulletins with magazines focused on culture, business, and political debate, aiming to offer an alternative to Anglo-Saxon media narratives. Financially, it relies on direct state subsidies—replacing the former audiovisual license fee system in 2022—and maintains a governance structure designed to separate editorial decision-making from government oversight.
