B SMART

B SMART calls itself a general channel, but its heart is business. The morning show kicks off with live market data from Paris and Frankfurt, then pivots to an interview with a local winemaker, that mix is the channel's signature. It's looser than Bloomberg, less frantic than BFM Business. The midday block features a debate where economists actually argue, not just nod. Prime-time repeats the best segments plus a long-form profile that rarely goes soft. Production is functional, decent graphics, a set that looks like a modern office, but the substance keeps you watching. Watch B SMART online and you'll notice how it treats the audience as adults: no flashy chyrons, no manufactured urgency. For a general TV channel in France, it's unusually focused. Is it for everyone? No. But if you want a French take on the economy without the noise, it's the one to track.
