==History==
The channel was created with the backing of the at-time president of France Jacques Chirac, with the aim of providing a French perspective of the news, often was dominated by media outlets operating in English.
In 1987, Chirac, who was the prime minister at the time, expressed his desire for an international television news channel in French and had requested a report into the activities of current international broadcasts from France and noted the collective offering was "fragmented, disorganized and ineffective.
The government soon launched a new project, Canal France International (CFI), a package of programmes aimed at making programmes in French for foreign audiences, particularly in Africa, to be developed as a television channel.

The channel launched on December 6, 2006, at 20:30 CET, initially available online as a web stream, followed by satellite distribution a day later, covering most of the worldwide excluding most of North America, South America, and Asia.
