Note that there's a page showcasing the filler shows such as "À l'Affiche ! which is called Encore on the English channel is staying.

While the morning show on F24 Français has two male presenters, one for Mon-Thurs and the other Fri-Sat, France 24 English is going for female presenters sharing mornings between weekdays and weekends.

Now if Franceinfo could use this model of scheduling instead of the two hours a day to the radio station of the same name and other random scheduling decisions especially in the back 15 minutes, it'd be a lot better for it.

Encore has been called Arts24 for a little while now
(Which is a bit of a shame, the old name had a bit more flair to it).

I'd be pleasantly surprised if the weekend tranches are entirely live. I'd expect there to be some bits replayed here and there to be honest.

The last duo on Thursday with Pauline Paccard and Damien Coquet. Damien is staying on, Pauline is moving up a few hours to the new 9/12 tranche. A similar thing is happening on the English channel where Haxie Meyers-Belkin and Stuart Norval are splitting up (they alternated though, so not a real pairing barring the 6am intro they did together) and Stuart is moving to the new 9/12 tranche too.

Some further behind the scenes shots. Including one which shows how small the smaller studio is! Looks bigger on screen and not as cramped as you'd think it would on air.

Their studios are the same spaces as they were when the channel launched, aren't they? I always thought the video walls they installed around 2013 simply obscured the newsroom backdrop. I thought the newsroom backdrop was quite elegant, and I miss it sometimes.

Pretty much. They built at least one of the studios in the old newsroom set. However there is still a standing set within the old newsroom. It’s just never used and is now very small. I’m assuming it was left for any reporter to-camera live hits. No idea why they don’t use it, but I agree, it took some of the immediacy out of the channel when they changed to a fixed set.

The article below from the lighting company that works with the channel has a bit more detail on the studios and the technical challenges of lighting such small spaces.

There are live contributions on Franceinfo from France 24 staff in their newsroom. Could they be from the newsroom set? It might be why it hasn't been dismantled.

More than likely, yes. This picture gives you an idea of what the space is now like. You can still see a standing position with camera facing out to the newsroom, but I believe they basically just kept a very small seated position there for live hits. The current sets were effectively built just behind the old newsroom sets. The galleries are at the opposite side of the newsroom, basically where this picture is taken from. That’s the best of my knowledge anyway. I’ve never been inside the France24 newsroom but I’ve seen a lot of promotional material, pics and videos over the years and built a picture of the layout.

LCI's (gorgeous) looking Super Tuesday look! I thought that they were going to stick to the format of the USA 2024 intro (a 30 minute or so segment of Darius's show on Sunday at 8pm) which already looked great. Keen eyed (or rather, eared) observers will note that this is also BFM Regions' Breaking News theme.

The aforementioned USA 2024 look used on Sunday evenings.

Looks nice, but it's a little strange that they have Nikki Haley lit in blue as if she's a Democrat, and no visual representation of Joe Biden either. While he's the incumbent and has no major challengers for the nomination, he's still technically on the ballot in more than a dozen states.

The new look has fully launched on France 24. As expected, it's not a radical departure from the previous look. It's all pretty much the same, but the now-transparent and feathered graphics feel a little less...refined to me. The billboard titles on the video wall in the studio seem a bit tacky and more in line with something you'd see on BFM or CNEWS. I'm also not really sure whether the picture frame treatment they're using for the logo, promos, publicités bumps, and the countdown is as fully developed as what it replaced (the three-dimensional cube treatment.)

None of it is bad by any means, but it does feel like change-for-the-sake-of-change (aside from the programming lineup changes, which are significant.)
