The first French channel in the country, this 24-hour international news channel is now available exclusively
on HyppTV Channel 128. HyppTV is the latest pay TV service, powered by
Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) through its high speed broadband service,
UniFi. With the launch of FRANCE 24, the French community in Malaysia
will now have a new channel to get the latest updates on international
news.
Commenting on the introduction of the new channel on HyppTV, Jeremy Kung, Executive Vice President, New Media said, “We are proud to provide the platform to broadcast FRANCE 24, the first French language channel in the country. With this latest addition, HyppTV is able to bring news, issues and events from around the world, catered for the French speaking community in Malaysia. This will complement the other international and local news channels that are already available on HyppTV. At HyppTV, we continue to acquire new content, in line with our strategy to offer our viewers the flexibility to view their content of choice, including the news channels.”
For Brice Bertrand, FRANCE 24 Distribution Director Asia Pacific, “This collaboration is a crucial step for our channel and its ongoing implementation in Asia. This launch on HyppTV, Malaysia’s leading IPTV service provider, is not only a source of great satisfaction, it is also extremely strategic. By proposing our French version "à la carte", we now offer easy access to FRANCE 24 to all French expatriates and the French speaking community across the country.”
Broadcasted in three languages - French, English and Arabic - reaching today 245 million households throughout the world and gathering 45 million TV viewers each week, FRANCE 24 covers international news from a French perspective, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whilst sharing French values across the globe.
In delivering the news, FRANCE 24 provides key background information as well as analytical elements to offer viewers a clearer context and help them better understand the international developments taking place.
FRANCE 24's programming is divided more or less equally between news coverage and news magazines and special reports. Its schedule is modular and flexible, and can be adapted very easily depending on what the news of the day requires. FRANCE 24 always makes it a priority to broadcast the day’s major events live.
Every half hour, FRANCE 24 broadcasts a comprehensive update on the latest international news with a 10-minute news bulletin, preceded by a global weather forecast.
FRANCE 24 also puts culture at the forefront with a daily cultural bulletin aimed to promote French “art de vivre” and explore the latest trends and leading events across the globe.
Backed by a robust network of correspondents across the planet, FRANCE 24 also brings the best in special reports. Through a variety of programmes every day, FRANCE 24 provides a powerful platform for healthy debate, allowing viewers to better grasp the social, economic and cultural news around the world.
FRANCE 24 is available on HyppTV Channel 128 as one of its premium Channel offerings. The channel can be purchased on an ‘à-la-carte’ basis at RM20 per month. As an introductory promotion, FRANCE 24 subscribers also stand a chance to win an iPad2 in a contest that begins today and will end on 31 May 2012.
