BFMTV

BFMTV launched in 2005 and quickly became France's most watched news channel. It belongs to the Altice group. Its model rests on continuous live output: uninterrupted studio anchoring through the day, field links and commentator discussion.

The channel is known for the speed of its response to developments, and hours of uninterrupted coverage during major events define its identity. That speed-driven model is itself a recurring subject of debate in France about the quality of news.

Domestic politics, the economy and social affairs dominate its agenda.
