Background

After LCI, CNEWS and BFMTV (available on free national DTT), and France 24 (worldwide and in Île-de-France only), France Info is the fifth rolling news channel in France. The goal of France Info is to distance itself from the competition by focusing heavily on straight news coverage, hoping to offer a higher-quality news service. The channel's music was produced by French composer,

and France 24. Its total budget is 15 million euros for France Télévisions and 3.5 million euros for Radio France. It includes the characteristic elements of rolling news channels (live bulletins, distinctive daypart-separated blocks) and debate and analysis programs. The sister radio station provides headline reminders three times each hour at :20, :40 and :50 past (four times an hour at :10, :20, :40 and :50 past between September 2016 and mid-January 2017), France 24 fills in the overnight programming (that would otherwise be filled in by continuous repeats of the day's last live newscast), and Ina offers magazines on "the news seen through a historical eye". France Info thus becomes a global public-service news offering that brings together radio and television and makes use of the experience of the public service as a whole in terms of information. This is the first major collaboration between public radio and television since 1975; at that time France Inter supplied the footage in the bulletins of the 3^e chaîne couleur de l'ORTF (now France 3).

Programs

Unlike other news channels, France Info can be watched without sound, thanks to some reports being text-heavy. Journalists can explain the stories using an interactive touchscreen. The cameraman moves along with the journalists, with a mobile device accompanied. The tone is mostly offbeat, without forgetting to be serious if required. The presentation - done in a studio integrated directly into the newsroom by an anchorman and/or anchorwoman, serving as both news anchors and segment introducers - as well as the interactivity with the "Le Live" thread seen on the channel's website, are other distinctive differences. * ''France 24'' - world news in simulcast with France 24 * ''franceinfo: et tout est plus clair'' - flagship banner for weekday afternoon and weekend rolling news block * ''la matinale'' - breakfast rolling news block with Samuel Étienne and Clémence de la Baume *''le fil info 10:30/13:00'' - morning rolling news block with Louis Laforge and Marianne Théoleyre *''le fil info 14:00/17:00''- afternoon rolling news block with Sophie Le Saint *''17h:info'' - grand boulletin with Djamel Mazi *''18h:20h'' - evening rolling news block with Lucie Chaumette *''21:23h -'' night rolling news block with Alexandra Uzan *''Le 23h -'' final bulletin prior to overnight France 24 simulcast, introduced to help replace
