CNews (French pronunciation: [senjuz]; stylised as CNEWS, formerly i>Télé) is a French free-to-air news channel 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,^[1][2][3] and is often compared to the American TV channel Fox News.^[4] 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.^[5]

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.^[6]
