The international news and current affairs television channel France 24 is now broadcasting in English in Korea through CJ’s portal TVing.

Launched on Dec. 6, the 24-hour channel’s mission is to cover international current events from a French perspective and to convey French values.

Funded by the French government and based near Paris, the channel offers variants in English and Arabic in addition to French to overseas markets.

TVing is the first TV portal in Korea; created one year ago, it features 150 television channels including the French-speaking TV5MONDE and offers services for smartphones and tablet computers as well as personal computers.
