CNews online - Television live

CNews Live Stream

CNews is a French 24-hour news channel of the Canal+ Group, launched in 1999 as i>Télé and renamed in 2017, broadcasting continuous news from Paris.

France's talk news channel

The grid runs on continuous news editions, political talk and debate, and live coverage of national and international events. The channel is known for its debate formats, where French politics is argued daily, and its presenters are among the most discussed figures in French television.

From i>Télé to CNews

The channel was created in 1999 by Canal+ as i>Télé, one of the first French all-news services. Under Vincent Bolloré's ownership it moved towards opinion and debate programming, and the renaming in 2017 marked that shift from a rolling news format to a talk-led one.

Regulation and political argument

French broadcasting law imposes balance obligations on national channels, and CNews has been the subject of proceedings before the regulator Arcom over the pluralism of its political output. Those decisions are reported as media news in their own right.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts on digital terrestrial television, cable and satellite, and streams through its own site, which also publishes text reporting and video.
