My question is: How much money will it lose before it closes?

If you're France, why bother. Just translate the English edition of CNN International. Then you basically have an anti-American, smug, and boring network. It's French TV without the cost.

The government treasury is behind it, so it won't close before France closes.

"This channel is completely independent from political parties and lobby groups. It will broadcast international news through French eyes – not the French government, but the French people. So it will carry our values – diversity, the French love of debate, discussion and confronting ideas,"

And hopefully French newsbabes, like Melissa Theuriau.

Now the French can get the progress of their absolute and complete surrender to Islam 24 hours a day.

Verbal labotomies- that's what the left are aiming for- French T.V in one ear, Radical Islam T.V in the other- Mindless drooling idiots will be the result. http://sacredscoop.com

A desperate attempt to hold onto their dying language and culture. France is exhibit A of what damage rampant socialism wrecks on a society.

No doubt those plasma screens out in the streets will still be showing babes babbling in French as the last bastion falls to Muslim rioters outside. None of which, of course, will appear in these news reports.

The dual english/french setup is....very French indeed.

Perhaps they should try being successful in French speaking countries then moving on to English?

Nahh, that would make some sort of sense, and it is the French we are talking about after all.

Who wants to bet that there first interview of a US politician will be John F. Kerry?

Deutsche Welle runs a similar service as do the Russians. I would love to be able to add this to my viewing.

Euronews is mostly pre-recorded, but it gives a very good rundown of European news for that day. That's broadcast in 8 languages simultaneously, just select a different audio subcarrier. So I'm not quite sure what the French are trying to accomplish here, other than spinning the news for French interests, not just French language.

C'est bon pour tous les étudiants de la langue français. It's a good thing for all the students studying French. Wish they had this when I was back in school.
