In Africa, thanks to a unique technical setup

For African operators, CFI broadcasts using a satellite in order to:

  offer 20 minutes of international and pan-African news daily
  foster the circulation of African programmes in which CFI invests €1 million euros a year
  make cultural events and sports competitions with broad appeal available to TV channels

Enjoying increased empowerment, the 77 channels are involved in programme selection and rely on CFI to enhance and diversify their programme schedules and manage their resources better.

In the Mediterranean region and Asia, the media have already embraced the market economy approach. CFI has set up a support and consulting scheme for channel directors, to assist 17 operators with the purchasing of French programmes.
