France 24 extends UK reach with Freely launch
France 24 has launched its English-language news service on Freely, an IP-delivered platform in the UK. This expands the international news broadcaster's distribution in the UK beyond its existing presence on Freeview.
Key Takeaways
- France 24’s English-language news service is now available on Freely in the UK.
- The launch expands France 24 distribution beyond its existing Freeview presence.
- Freely is described as a PSB-run, IP-delivered platform.
Why It Matters
France 24 now has a second named UK distribution route, moving beyond Freeview to Freely for its English-language news service. That gives the broadcaster another IP-delivered presence in the UK television stack, rather than relying on terrestrial distribution alone. The article frames Freely as PSB-run, which makes this a useful marker of how international news channels are plugging into UK public-service distribution infrastructure. Watch for whether France 24’s UK footprint is described in future updates as growing further beyond Freeview and Freely.
