Some FRANCE 24 programming will be disrupted on Tuesday due to a strike across France’s state broadcasting sector over President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to abolish the TV licence fee and fund public media broadcasters through general taxation. Media unions say Macron’s proposal will undermine the independence of public service media and could lead to budget cuts.
The unions at French public broadcasters – including France Médias Monde, the company that owns FRANCE 24, Radio France International and Arabic radio MCD – called a one-day strike for June 28. We apologise for the disruption to programming.
