AfricaNews runs news and weather summaries every half-hour.
Africanews is a French multilingual news network, formerly headquartered in Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo. Budget concerns caused by the coronavirus forced the channel to permanently shift operations to a small newsroom at the headquarters of sister channel Euronews in Lyon, France.
Currently, the programs are broadcast in both English and French – most on-screen graphics and captions are bilingual. The channel plans to expand and accommodate most of the continents’ population and plans to roll out Swahili, Arabic, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese content soon in 2022/2023.
