France 24’s roster of shows that will be broadcast in Hong Kong include Access Asia; The 51 Percent, which is a program on women who are reshaping the world;  Down to Earth, a program dedicated to the environment and people behind fascinating innovations in a bid for sustainable solutions to our changing world; French Connections, a quirky, insider’s guide to understanding France and the French, from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Serge Schick, Executive Vice-President Member of the board, in charge of the international development said, “It is a great opportunity for France 24 to extend its distribution to Hong Kong, a very important territory indeed. The agreement with Hong-kong Cable is the recognition of the quality of the news provided by the channel, driven by an open-minded way of thinking and efficient know-how in the news-checking process. We hope that the citizens of Hong Kong will appreciate the channel’s content which is dedicated to international issues, such as climate change, the transformation of economics, and the equality between people, women and men”.
