CNews (French pronunciation: [senjuz]; stylised as CNEWS, formerly i>Télé) is a French free-to-air opinion channel[1][2][3] launched on 4 November 1999 by Groupe Canal+. It provides 24-hour national and global news coverage. It is the second most watched news network in France, after BFM TV and before LCI and France Info.
i>Télé was renamed CNews on 27 February 2017. Since this change, it has taken a conservative editorial stance,[4][5][6] and is often compared to the American TV channel Fox News.[7] It has been repeatedly warned by French regulators for its failure to honestly and rigorously report news to the public. Due to these infractions, it was fined €200,000 by the French audiovisual regulatory body in 2021.[8]
The channel is under the control of the media proprietor and business magnate Vincent Bolloré, who has been accused of interfering with the editorial choices of the CNews.[9]
