FRANCE 24 FAST

FRANCE 24 FAST is a curious addition to Spain's free TV landscape, it's basically a Spanish-language simulcast of the French international news channel, but without the on-screen clutter of the main feed. The programming is all news, all day, with a heavy emphasis on geopolitics and European affairs that most Spanish broadcasters underplay. Morning blocks cover developing stories in Africa and the Middle East with more depth than you'll find on any domestic news channel. The afternoon slots? They repeat segments too often, you'll hear the same interview three times across a 12-hour window. That said, the editorial standards are high. No soft features or lifestyle filler, just correspondents filing from places most reporters avoid. The Spanish voiceover work is decent but occasionally lagging behind the English audio track. For anyone tired of the partisan shouting on some Spanish news networks, FRANCE 24 FAST offers a calmer, more international perspective. It's not flashy production-wise, basic studio, simple graphics, but if you want actual reporting from around the world without the screaming, this channel delivers. Just don't expect it to be live every minute; some slots are clearly taped.
