RUSSIA TODAY PREPARES FOR FRENCH LANGUAGE CHANNEL

Tuesday, February 14th, 2017

Global news network Russia Today is set to further expand its media presence as it prepares to launch a French-language channel.

Calls have been made for French-speaking staff to start working at the station immediately as applicants are required to handle the network’s famously pressurised environment and report upon the daily influx of global news.

The decision follows RT en Français – one of the network’s six language-specific websites – enjoying a huge growth, with online readership doubling within a year. A revitalised website will be launched in conjunction with the channel to spread the net of RT’s news coverage and showcase local talent.

What the industry says about US

TROS KOMPAS, MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS, NETHERLANDS

The Global Listings press schedules are very good. Especially as we have very little space in the TV Guide sections, these are still very useful to us. In addition, the Global Listings TV highlights documents and press reports are also a great way for us to make choices of what TV programmes to feature.

CYTA, Cyprus

Cyta is one of the first telecommunications organisations in the world to have introduced IPTV through the launch of its Cytavision service. The rich content and multiplicity of features has established Cytavision as the most popular multi-channel subscriber television service in Cyprus. We have relied heavily on the Global Listings team to deliver all required elements of EPG data efficiently and accurately, to quickly process all schedule changes and to provide Cytavision viewers with truly excellent EPG information. Global Listings has integrated smoothly and successfully with the Cytavision platform, complying fully with all technical requirements set out in our tender specifications.
