Africanews (styled as africanews) is a 24/7 pan-African multilingual news network located in Lyon, France previously headquartered in Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo. The news channel began broadcasting online, and via TV and satellite on 20 April 2016.[1] The newsroom has 30 journalists and around 55 technical staffers.[citation needed]
Broadcast
Like its sister channel Euronews, Africanews runs news and weather summaries every half-hour.
Languages
Currently, the programs are broadcast in both English and French - most on-screen graphics and captions are bilingual. In 2016, the channel planned to expand and accommodate most of the continents' population and roll out Swahili, Arabic, Dutch/Afrikaans, Spanish and Portuguese content soon.[2]
