CNEWS PRIME online - Television live

CNEWS PRIME Live Stream

CNEWS PRIME is a second feed of CNews, the French 24-hour news channel of the Canal+ Group, carrying its prime-time talk and special-event coverage.

CNews, prime time

The feed carries the flagship talk and debate programmes of the CNews evening, extended coverage of national events and the special broadcasts the main channel's grid cannot always fit. It shares the newsroom and the presenters with the flagship, so the two feeds differ in scheduling rather than in output.

Why broadcasters split a feed

A second feed lets a channel stay with a long event — an election night, a parliamentary session, a trial — while its main service keeps its usual schedule. Cable and satellite operators can carry both positions, and online distribution makes the arrangement cheap to run.

The CNews evening

CNews built its identity on long political debate in prime time, with presenters who host two or three hours of argument each night. That format is what the prime feed exists to carry when a single subject runs past the usual slot.

Distribution

The feed is carried on French platforms and streams through the channel's site, reaching viewers who follow the debate programmes online.
