i24 News hits one year milestone

Israel-based international news channel i24news is celebrating one year on air, with its viewers now tuning in for an average of an hour a day, according to CEO Frank Melloul.  

The channel, which airs international and regional news from the Middle East, now claims to be accessible to more than 75 million households across Europe via pay TV on satellite and cable.

i24News broadcasts in three languages – English, French and Arabic – airs 110 newscasts per day, 18 magazines per week and in its first year aired nearly 19,000 hours of content.

“The channel has definitely found its place among the big international news channels, thanks to the professionalism and the dedication of our team in particular in the past few weeks and I am very proud of it,” said Melloul.

i24News is available in Africa on Zuku (East Africa), Canal+ Horizon (West and Central Africa), and across Africa on SES 5 Satellite.
